It’s not the “guns” but the times. God’s “grace” is off
this nation, look at what we declare legal, a right, mortal sin.
We’re like the walking dead. We need God’s grace in our
souls, He can’t be present in us with even one mortal sin on our soul.
Regular Confession, true repentance and confession to God
of our mortal sins and a daily prayer life...for the life
of your soul.

The Our Lady of the Angels school fire (1958) was an arson. Over 90 children perished.

Jack the Ripper probably never saw a gun. Explosives were also pretty common.
Actually, a pistol or rifle or even a shotgun would be poor weapons of choice to someone out to kill a lot of people. We’ve seen what can be done with the clever application of box-cutters.

Here is a link to a documentary about Holmes on hulu tv. I live on the south side of Chicago and worked in the neighborhood where his murder castle was located at 63rd and Stewart Ave. There is a postal building there now. Occasionally near Halloween, the media will do a story on how people say the postal building is haunted.

Also because in modern times, there are way more opportunities to find large groups of unarmed people gathering.
