        Culture, politics, financial well being, careers, but also allowing the assault weapons ban to lapse in 2004.

          Violent crime has actually decreased since that assault weapons ban ended.

          Assault weapons were also still available to buy with high capacity magazines DURING the ban. It was completely ineffective actually.

                  Or maybe there just weren’t any? Maybe mass shootings are a symptom of how fucked up our society has become?

                    yes, the society where beating your wife was a fact of life was certainly a normal one. all the lead in the air was good for your brain too! you know crime has gone down and only continues to drop, right? sorry, but the facts don’t give a shit about your fear-mongering
