In reply to: I think there are a lot of issues, but the gun culture posted by LondonDomer

why now? Or at least since Columbine?

Those stickers were prevalent in the 60's but the shootings in schools and theaters, etc were not.

What are the societal links since about 2000 that have so escalated these things? This is horrific and the absolute worst aspect is we seem to be getting used to it.

Not expecting you to have the answer, just stating some thoughts.
