I read a post that 20 years ago there was a shooting Scotland. They enacted stricter gun laws and there hasn’t been a shooting since. I read that it just doesn’t happen in Europe or Australia but then some argue it does but it isn’t reported. Can we even know the truth
Australia has mass shootings to this day, even though their people are beaten down by their oppressive government like serfs.
Most of the countries in Europe have very strict gun laws so the deranged find other ways to murder. In London England several years ago they had a rash of knife attacks, a terrorist in a car running down people on a sidewalk and a bus bombing.
These things happen and still do but they are often downplayed by the US media unless a gun is used then we hear all about it because usually when a gun is used there is more carnage but the main reason we hear about the gun attacks is because it fits the Lefts Anti Gun narrative.
Here we go with this. It's always the argument. If any type of gun law is passed, they'll just start stabbing people instead. Stabbings are tragic, but not equivalent. Some lunatic can't rent a room at the Mandalay Bay and massacre a concert below with a knife. Someone walking into a school or nightclub with a knife would likely do some harm, but would also likely be overpowered in short order. Whenever bombings or car attacks happen, they make international headlines, because are uncommon. In the US, mass shootings have become commonplace and rarely receive heavy coverage unless it is particularly atrocious.

Mass shootings represent far less than 1% of all gun deaths. They’re a drop in the bucket.
Those using knives kill more people annually than mass shooters.
Guns have been around forever , but school shooting trend started with Columbine in 1998
What changed?
Culture changes and attitudes along with notoriety.
I know plenty of people that hated school and had problems but they were more of the "I'm out of here attitude" and less of the "I'm going to hurt others" attitude.

They also always conveniently leave out that the US ALSO has stabbings, car attacks and bombings in ADDITION to mass shootings. So that excuse flies right out the window.
Mexico had a mass school shooting yesterday, Norway had the worst in history. Guns illegal in both places.
