How may happened in the 20's 30's 40's 50's 60's and 70's?

It seems that it was during the 80's that they started occurring more often:

Maybe it's not the guns that are the problem??????????????
What happened?
No guns are the problem. Before the 1980s, nobody except the military had weapons capable of carrying out mass shootings. The police didn’t even have semi automatic weapons before the 1970s/80s. Kids today have access to better weapons then what the police had 40 years ago.
