And what do the sites have in common? The shooters?
Absolutely nothing.
Couldn't be the guns though. Right? I mean. It's never the gun.

Move along. Nothing to see here. Just a mental health crisis. 10 years ago we blamed Hollywood. 20 years before it was video games. What's the next move of the goal posts, folks? Fast food? Obesity is my guess.
Insanity that this is the America we live in.
Hmm…let's see. They're criminals willing to commit the most heinous of crimes who will find access to weapons with ill intent, no matter the circumstance? It's funny people like you can't seem to grasp the idea that criminals don't care about the law and will find guns, or really any weapon, through any means necessary regardless of legality.
Legal gun owners are such because they aren't criminals and can be trusted to legally own firearms without incident. Just over 40% of US households own approximately 265 million firearms in the US, yet the horrendous acts of a disturbed few somehow justify strict gun laws or even criminalizing ownership in its entirety. The sensationalism of these isolated incidents leads to an overgeneralization of society as a whole and places us on a very slippery slope.
If history is our teacher, a lack of guns and the inability to defend ourselves easily leads to tyranny and widespread mass killings by those you currently seem to trust, our government leaders and our media. Just because we've not experienced true tyranny and dictatorship in this country should not purport that we never will. It simply shows the citizenry has the means to keep it at bay and those in power know it. It's in your best interest to allow legal gun ownership, just ask the Jews under Hitler, the Chinese under Mao, the Russians under Stalin, the Cambodians under Polpot, or the Ugandans under Amin. I understand your sentiment, I simply don't agree with it…obviously.
Conspiracies are the norm, not the exception.
