Un-repentful SIN............
Matthew 24:12
Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,
Matthew 24:11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
I don’t think there’s any single answer, there are so darn many...there’s no way to get a one-size-fits-all label.
Loughner was crazy in my best estimate.
Nidal Hasan did it for religious reasons and Islam, in my thoughts.
Some gang member will prob’ly kill another over turf, drugs (whatever) tonight.
Somebody will prob’ly kill another tonight for money.
Somebody will kill over because they are high on drugs or alcohol.
Some kill just because they want to know what it feels like.
Somebody will prob’ly kill over love or hate tonight.
Hamilton and Burr dueled over political differences— nobody called for getting rid of guns then.

I think it all comes down to a personal decision for whatever the reasoning be and looking for something else to blame is part of our problem nowadays.
We hunt something...anything...but assigning or accepting personal responsibility and choice as the reason violence happens.
Until there is some way to control each individual, violence will always happen. I don’t think we want to control each person, so we must learn to live in this painful imperfect world.
Blacks make up ~12.5% of the population and account for about 50% of the murders in the US. Violent crime among the white population is very low. San Jose CA, for example, is as safe a city as you'll find anywhere in the world.
If unrepentful sin is a root cause of violence, are whites more repentful of their sins than blacks?
