Yes, America has the most guns, but most gun owners don’t do mass shootings, so that number is irrelevant. The fact is, in most countries, if a criminally insane person is intent on acquiring a firearm, he can do it. And yet, these weird mass casualty events only happen in America.

Assuming the problem with shootings is the availability of guns is a very ignorant view.

Guns have existed in this country since the first settlers arrived. Guns have been available on this continent since long before the country itself existed. That means that gun availability has been a constant.

The real question that needs to be asked by anyone who is serious about trying to prevent them is; what changed? While gun availability has been a constant these shootings are a relatively recent phenomena. So if access to guns is not the variable that has changed, What is?

Solving the problem requires honest introspection to find the actual cause. My question is simple. If guns have been a constant, what variable has changed?
