Someone please tell me why, in the years prior to say the 1980's, 70's 60's 50's that shootings in school was not a problem. Young boys had guns back then too. What has changed? That is the question to be answered, and repaired.

I had attended a class once that spoke about mass shootings and how they were not a new thing to the US.

After reading your comment I went back and googled "History of School Shootings" and came up with a Wikipedia listing.

If you look at their listing sadly this is not a new thing. I have not independently verified what is listed there on the list.

I believe what is new is the extensive coverage of the 24 hours news cycle when an incident happens. It is my opinion this then spurs others to want to turn it into some form of sick competition to see who can get more attention.

I will say the "LOOK AT ME" culture is new since the 80's.

Just an opinion.
