WHERE DO AMERICA’S MASS SHOOTERS COME FROM??--It is extremely easy in the United States to obtain guns, to find places to practice using them, and to find trainers willing to teach you to use them.
maybe there is something about military service that attracts mass shooters.
Yeah. That.
So like, if the number of mass shooters that had military training is about the same percentage as mass shooters (military trained or not) compared to the general US population wouldn't that give us something useful to think about? Like, maybe the sentence I quoted from your comment is more of a reason than having "training by the military?"
Thinking about what you said earlier about "basic training trauma", that makes me think it would be really useful to see what proportion of people with military training did/didn't go out an do a mass shooting.
Thinking about it some more, what percentage of military trained mass shooters also had associations with things like white supremacy, neo-nazi stuff, incel stuff, other reactionary stuff? I wonder if there's a correlation there that supports your idea that military service attracts mass shooters.
Yeah. That.
