Oh please. ALL recent mass shootings were pulled off by a younger person. Why is that???? I'll tell you why. Because they have been taught that there are no losers and everyone is a winner. Parents refuse to discipline their kids properly and use BS "time outs" that just don't work. These kids are ill prepared for the real world and act out like they see on TV and in their video games.
All "recent" mass shootings? Oh. Ok., let's look at facts and not stats that you have pulled from your rear end. In 2012, there have been 13 incidences considered "mass shootings":
On top of that, the murder rate peaked in this country in the early 1980s, and again in the early 1990s, before dropping off to levels that now reflect the late 1950s in terms of murder.
So what I'm seeing, is actually probably a decrease in the murder rate because (I presume, YOUR GENERATION) are aging out of their "criminal years," being more content to stay at home these days than to run amok, and today's kids actually aren't as violent as their parents and grandparents in their heydey.
.... but has actually been going down for centuries, generally:
(Probably not accounting for genocide and war)..... unless you consider the 1600s to be a liberal dynasty in America's history, you're going to have to find a new thesis to promote, because this one doesn't float.
That what happens you give children every damn thing and they aren't allowed to be deprived or deal with any major adversity.
The first time they face it as adults some of this young people just crumble and then they lash out.
And no this isn't a liberal vs. conservative things.
It's an American middle class culture thing.
But it's really a crap thesis.
Most mass shootings this year were perpetrated by people age 30 and above. 30 isn't old, but it's not some disaffected youth.
Also, how many stories this year of middle aged and established family men have MASSACRED their own families because they lost a job, or a bad market deal, or for whatever reason?

We have a societal problem with our youth. Suck it up and take responsibility for it if you have children. Teach them right from wrong, make sure you teach them that life isn't fair and that there ARE winners and losers in life. DO YOUR PART!
The profilers being interviewed on all the stations seem to agree that these mass shootings are not a result of a sudden snap and detachment from reality. Most are carefully planned by very smart people.
There is an element of learning from those who shot before. Adam destroyed his hard drive before taking off. The next shooter will likely learn and do the same.
These shooters blame others for whatever is going on in their world. They have no self esteem and seek to go out in a blaze and be remembered. They know and relish the attention they will get after it's all over. One profiler hinted at how in some cases, it may be a competition to do more harm than the last shooter.
Thus far, there is nothing known that could have predicted what this kid planned and did. Millions of kids who don't fit in at school are referred to the school social workers for counseling, each year. With a few exceptions,. most do not go on shooting sprees.
Heck, for all we know there is something in our food or enviornment that is causing more people to short wire. I never heard of anyone being allergic to peanut butter when I went to school and now the schools are full of kids who reportedly must be educated in a peanut free enviornment or they risk dying.
Kids are exposed to more information, media and gaming violence than ever before in U.S. history. There is no way to compare how some young minds process this information. There is nothing unique about this to the U.S. other than it's easier to acquire assault weapons here, than in other industrialized nations.

So did you just completely ignore every shred of rebuttal evidence posted, or are you taking the whole, "I don't care what the facts are, I have a well laid opinion and I'm sticking to it?!" route?
Society's problem is with our over 50s. Not with the youth.
What the heck is going on lately???? Let me guess, another ill prepared youngster who couldn't handle real life....
Well, well....
We have a societal problem folks..... Decades of Progressive teachings are coming home to roost.
Maybe being told there are no winners each team is equal so as not to up set the child!
Or how about all the violence kids are exposed to at a early age before they know what the actual repercussions are for killing someone in a game.
Absent parenting and the I want my kids to be my friend and I will not punish my kids crap...

Perhaps, or maybe advances in medical technology and service (quicker, more technically proficient first responders; life flights for critcally wounded; etc) mean more people survive being shot. Survivors don't factor in any "murder rate" statistics.
