Honestly I think the rise in mass shooting is more coupled with a glorification of the act through the media than a rise in gun ownership. Gun laws haven't lessened recently, yet the number of shootings has skyrocketed, so personally I feel that although it is an important issue it isn't the core of the problem. We don't treat our mentally ill with any competency in this country, and the media infames the shooters. In my mind that is the core of the issue.
