My local newspaper was having a discussion about this topic last weekend.
Guys would carry their guns in racks in their trucks, and bring them into shop class to clean them during hunting season. This was in the 70s/80s, no one thought twice about it. I went to an alternative high school that had some pretty strange characters, but we never worried about our safety. Shooting your teachers or classmates just wasn't even thought about.
I feel the violence now comes down to a breakdown of the family, the stigma against mental illness, and a lack of coping skills, for starters.

It's incredibly creepy whenever a shooting is taking place and journos and media outlets are trying to squeeze every possible drop of information from any official and report the shit as quickly as they can, I mean a few pages back there was a screenshot of a journo question a student WHILE THEY WERE HIDING FROM THE SHOOTER.
There's the story of this guy, Herostratus, who burned down the Temple of Artemis, one of the 7 Wonders of the world, in ancient Greece and he said he did it just for notoriety. Well centuries later people just like him are getting what they want on a level he couldn't dream of.

Most hunting rifles in 1918 would be repeaters.

Aren't you from the country that banned the Adler A110 as a "assault weapon" and shit?
The country where you can't even own a plate carrier if you wanted to protect yourself from a firearms-wielding assailant?

"If it bleeds, it leads" combos sickeningly well with the 24 hour news cycle. No business that wants to compete can ignore doing so. unless there's some sort of specific legislation passed about reporting on shootings.

We already made a law in 1986 that basically guaranteed the right to sell guns second hand without going through a licensed dealer, in exchange for outlawing all new machine guns. They closed the machine gun registry in 1986 with a "compromise" in the Firearm Owners Protection Act, and in that compromise of outlawing automatic "military grade weapons," they told all gun owners that they wouldn't force you to buy all your guns through a dealer, which could then be tracked and registered to you.
What's the point of having more gun control compromises when all of the "compromises" being offered today are removing the "compromises" that Pro-Gun groups have sacrificed before? There isn't compromise when it comes to gun control, simply look at the history of gun control in the USA. There has never been real compromise.
The media refuses to acknowledge the vast history of gun control in the USA, it only points at acts of violence and says 'this is why we need more gun control laws,' ignoring the thousands already on the books that were ineffective in this specific scenario, and no real reasoning as to why this new and improved gun control law would have potentially stopped this tragedy.
Obama and the Democrats wanted to end the "Gun Show Loophole" after Sandy Hook, outlawing all private sales of firearms. Why? Nancy Lanza passed a background check and bought the guns used to kill at Sandy Hook Elementary. It wouldn't have stopped that tragedy. So why did the president and congress try to outlaw private sales of guns anyway?
Could it be that they simply want to curtail gun rights, regardless of whatever tragedy they're claiming to prevent from?

My guess is it's a combination of culture changes, media giving the shootings attention which motivates copycat attention speakers, parenting going down the tubes (lol lets just sit our kids in front of TV's and give them everything they want instead of actually raising them), and mental illness probably spurring from the former conditions.
If you look back at Columbine shooter's writings, besides being narcissistic edgelords, they really really really anticipated and craved the attention they thought their actions were going to cause, they wanted infamy and notoriety, and in the end they got it. Ever since then you've seen a lot of school shooters get inspired by Columbine simply because of how much the media and country latched onto and continued to latch onto that event and shooters.
I like how people here complain about how this is going to just get turned into political arguments right before getting into a multi-page gun control debate.

Yeah, my bad. I got too heated up about it, at the end of the day I should be posting salt or mocking autists. Not being an autist myself.
