Just wait until bags of heads start being displayed on the roads.

You can't possibly be this stupid. There are no gun factories in Mexico, and Mexicans don't go around blasting random children on purpose. Indiscriminately mass murdering innocent people by the dozen every day of the week dressed up like a dickless terrorist is a signature gringo move

It was a cop who was already at the mall who killed the shooter with a handgun I believe. Handguns do shoot real bullets, so yeah they give you a really good chance turns out

This is why we need tighter control over rifles. Handguns and shotguns aren't much of an issue. Rifles on the other hand are used in a majority of mass shootings throughout the US and are often EASIER to obtain than handguns! In my humble opinion, the minimum age to obtain a rifle should be at LEAST 21, preferably 25 as that's when the brain has finished developing. Potential rifle owners should have to pass a thorough psych exam before being allowed to obtain the firearm as well as pass routine psych exams during the duration of their ownership. (i.e. annual or bi-annual exam)

If we made those simple changes, mature level-headed adults could still own rifles and those who may be a danger to themself or others would have a much harder time getting a rifle.

But that's just my opinion. I am looking forward to getting the hell out of this horrible country next year.

What an absolute scumbag. If there is an afterlife, I hope he suffers.

A troubled past and leaked plans are common to those who take part in mass shootings. Most use handguns.

Persons who committed public mass shootings in the U.S. over the last half century were commonly troubled by personal trauma before their shooting incidents, nearly always in a state of crisis at the time, and, in most cases, engaged in leaking their plans before opening fire. Most were insiders of a targeted institution, such as an employee or student. Except for young school shooters who stole the guns from family members, most used legally obtained handguns in those shootings.

Those are prominent traits of persons who have engaged in public mass shootings – that is, a shooting that kills four or more people[1] – collected in a comprehensive new database of identified U.S. mass shootings from 1966 to 2019. The data on 172 mass public shooters cover more than 150 psychosocial history variables, such as those individuals’ mental health history, past trauma, interest in past shootings, and situational triggers.

With support from the National Institute of Justice, The Violence Project database has drawn data exclusively from open sources such as social media sites and online newspapers. The aim is to build a broader understanding on the part of the public, the justice system, and the research community of who mass shooters are and what motivates their decision to discharge firearms at multiple people.

As part of the project, researchers also separately interviewed persons in prison who had engaged in mass shootings, in part to look for shared traits.

Mass shooting cases were identified using several sources, including all existing mass shooting databases, with close examination of each case. Researchers also reviewed source lists of mass shootings from new outlets.

Shooters’ first-person accounts were scrutinized, and secondary sources, such as documentary films, biographies, newspaper archives, for example, were mined for a variety of relevant mass shooting data points. In all, the research team coded more than 160 variables for database inclusion.

Examples of variable ranges include demographics, family background, breakups, and employment trouble, telling others about one’s plans to kill ahead of time (known as “leakage”), and firearms use, including whether weapons were purchased legally or illegally, or stolen.

The database includes tabs on more than 370 firearms used in mass shootings and 1,239 people who lost their lives to those weapons, plus 2,020 of those injured.

This project followed a research methodology that has proven effective in terrorism studies, which also are rare events that can result in mass casualties.

Suicidality was found to be a strong predictor of perpetration of mass shootings. Of all mass shooters in the The Violence Project database, 30% were suicidal prior to the shooting. An additional 39% were suicidal during the shooting. Those numbers were significantly higher for younger shooters, with K-12 students who engaged in mass shootings found to be suicidal in 92% of instances and college/university students who engaged in mass shooting suicidal 100% of the time.

In terms of past trauma, 31% of persons who perpetrated mass shootings were found to have experiences of severe childhood trauma, and over 80% were in crisis.

Trauma was a common element of the backgrounds of those committing mass shooting, both in the database and the qualitative studies. Early intervention through school-based services may be a key component of early prevention.

In public discourse, mass shootings are often blamed on mental illness. But the research indicates the role of mental illness in mass shootings is complicated, not clear-cut. Mental health issues were common among those who engaged in mass shootings, with psychosis playing a minor role in nearly one third of the cases, but a primary role 10% of the time.

The data indicate, however, that nearly all persons who engage in mass shootings were in state of crisis in the days or weeks preceding the shooting.

Nearly half of individuals who engaged in mass shootings (48%) leaked their plans in advance to others, including family members, friends, and colleagues, as well as strangers and law enforcement officers. Legacy tokens, such as manifestos, were left behind by 23.4% of those who committed mass shootings. About 70% of individuals who perpetrated mass shooting knew at least some of their victims. In particular, K-12 school and workplace shooters were “insiders” — current or former students and employees. That finding has implications for physical security measures and the use of active shooter drills.

The fact that leakage is a common occurrence with mass shootings provides an opportunity for intervention. Anonymous reporting systems may increase the likelihood of leakage and is an important area for more research. Threat assessment teams that intervene with a holistic, collaborative approach to intervention are promising.

Notably, most individuals who engaged in mass shootings used handguns (77.2%), and 25.1% used assault rifles in the commission of their crimes. Of the known mass shooting cases (32.5% of cases could not be confirmed), 77% of those who engaged in mass shootings purchased at least some of their guns legally, while illegal purchases were made by 13% of those committing mass shootings. In cases involving K-12 school shootings, over 80% of individuals who engaged in shootings stole guns from family members.

The findings support safe storage of guns. Yet, the researchers noted that there are no federal laws requiring safe storage of guns, and no federal standards for firearm locks. The data also support “red flag” laws permitting law enforcement or family members to petition a state court to order temporary removal of a firearm from a person who presents a danger.

Since the 1970s, the only statistically significant change in motivations for mass shootings is the decrease in shootings motivated by employment issues.

Of the 172 individuals who engaged in public mass shootings covered in the database, 97.7% were male. Ages ranged from 11 to 70, with a mean age of 34.1. Those shooting were 52.3% White, 20.9% Black, 8.1% Latino, 6.4% Asian, 4.2% Middle Eastern, and 1.8% Native American.

Most individuals who perpetrated mass shootings had a prior criminal record (64.5%) and a history of violence (62.8%), including domestic violence (27.9%). And 28.5% had a military background. Most died on the scene of the public mass shooting, with 38.4% dying by their own hand and 20.3% killed by law enforcement officers.


It's all about mental healthcare and how easy it has to be to receive it when you suffer from it. When it comes to criminals, they buy their guns on the black market, deep web etc. so making it hard to buy rifles or in fact guns won't change much as there are already too many guns out there.

Name one place on earth where the police have been defunded. Repeating nonsense you read on facebook is not helpful, and if you are so brainless and gullible that you can't see you are being manipulated by your republican daddy's you should ask your grandkids to help you learn how to internet until you can be trusted with a cell phone again

If anyone wants the uncensored video pm me. Thanks spamwich for making it Death section friendly.

When the police shoot these people they should shoot to wound so the shooter feels pain and suffering. No medical treatment. Then string up their live bodies so everyone can see him/her suffer as they should. I like the ways Brazil and others countries handles thieves, rapists and murderers. Make it painful and make them suffer.
This saddens and angers me so much.

[Eyensky]

And if these shooters do leak their info and family and friends know about it—they too should suffer for not doing anything about it.
