Why have violent crime and homicides overall gone down in the U.S. in the past 30 years while mass shootings have seemingly gone up?
That makes sense. But why do you think mass shootings have gone up?
There are a few factors that could be contributing to the increase in mass shootings. One possible explanation is the issue of gun control. The ease with which Americans can obtain firearms may allow some individuals with specific motivation to commit acts of mass violence. Additionally, there may be various socioeconomic factors that are leading to an increase in this type of crime.
