This is what I’m talking about, our culture has been so screwed up by the left wing that we have created an atmosphere where people go on these rampages. These shootings were extremely rare until the 80s and 90s

Has there actually been a statistical increase in mass shootings? The Austin sniper hit in the in the 1960s - other shooting incidents have also occurred historically, but have simply faded from public memory, remained local, or weren’t picked up by the general public’s mind.

In addition, another factor could be deinstitutionalization. A lot of people who have gone on to commit such terrible acts might very well been forced to undergo treatment or even detainment without consent prior to the 1970s.
