What causes mass shootings? Front page media stories that run incesstantly.

There’s a professor who’s done work to prove this.

These are copycat crimes.

Yep, concur

it would have fit their gun grabbing agenda more to execute a massive newtown type incident in a deeply gun friendly state with M4 types....to show that gun friendly states need to be less “gun friendly”, as their policies lead to these kind of incidents.

in Kalifornia, this does not apply

copycat.

What causes mass shootings?

One possible answer and repeating a post in hopes of gaining traction:

In addition to the drugs, video games, and all the rest, there seems to be no traction given to the idea that almost all the aggressive violence involving guns in motion pictures comes from the leftist (anti-2nd Ammendment) movie industry.

Do leftist “experts” believe that these thousands of repeated visual promptings have no effect on susceptible minds? Where’s the leftist push to limit such aggressive use of weaponry in motion pictures, now and over the years, in light of Newtown? /rhetoric

Violence in the movies and TV shows, even the ones we all enjoy, do much more to condition our thought processes than authorities, and we, are admitting. It’s not merely “entertainment”.
