Why number of US mass shootings has risen sharply

[bucolic_frolic]

1. We're awfully late on harder-to-get. We should question current motivations of the shooters

For the longest while I thought moms, wives, girlfriends would stem the tide, appeal to peace and prosperity and future and career. That idea went up in a blaze of gunfire.

The shooters are angry, inhumane, disconnected from empathy, love, relevance, and life-sustaining purpose.

Have many or any of them sought mental health treatment? We don't know. Are psychologists failing, or out of the loop?

Are drugs usually involved? Any studies?

Praying to God and vibing warm thoughts ain't working. Especially after the fact.

In my view at this moment, this issue needs outside interpretation. And by that I mean a high level psychological and sociological study, with a heavy weight of professional opinion from academic and clinician circles OUTSIDE the U.S.A. Because we ain't getting it done.
