The most important reason I can give you is how completely unrealistic the average person is in the U.S. right now.
Why?
People are domesticated animals. When you try to make them something else through laws people will die more like now.
When I grew up in the 1950s and 1960s as a boy I expected to be beat up, have my life threatened, possibly be put in the hospital. Seeing people bleeding in school or on the way to school or after school somewhere sometimes with broken arms, noses or legs was a pretty normal experience.
However, people didn't shoot people like they do now. They put each other in the hospital a lot but they didn't shoot each other like now.
Why?
Because it was considered uncivilized to do that here in the U.S. in the 1950s and 1960s. Owning a gun was one thing but only the Mafia would machine gun people down and they were always looked down upon for it then.
So, though we injured each other, put each other in the hospital a lot we didn't kill each other like now.
And somehow that worked a whole lot better than what we have going on now without ANY conflict resolution between classes or parties at all.
So, from my point of view this can only get 10 to 100 times worse than now because we are going about it in the completely wrong way.
People are animals but if you let them fight it out they tend not to kill each other and instead just count coup on each other instead like the Native Americans did in inter tribal warfare.
Very seldom did whole tribes go to blows. A few warriors would wound each other instead.
We kind of need to go back to that instead of mass murders without limit.
Violence is one thing but no one comes back once they are dead.
A hospital is a better place to go rather than a morgue.
This looks more like overpopulation among mammals behavior where some males start killing everyone in their species when populations go beyond a certain point.
This would be logical within any city that is large enough where some men never leave that large population and so revert to mammalian overpopulation behavior.
There are studies with rats that show this too.
There have been 154 mass shootings in the US so far in 2018 — here's the full list
- The number of mass shootings in the US this year reached 154 on Thursday.
- Five people were killed and several were "gravely injured" in a shooting at the Capital Gazette's newsroom in Annapolis, Maryland, police said.
- There have been nearly as many US mass shootings as days in 2018.
Five people were killed and several others were "gravely injured" in a shooting at the Capital Gazette newsroom in Annapolis, Maryland, authorities said Thursday.
The incident marked the 154th mass shooting in 2018, according to the nonprofit Gun Violence Archive, which tracks shootings in the US. To put this into perspective, we are 177 days into the year, which means the US has had nearly as many mass shootings as days in 2018.
Americans are more likely to die from gun violence than many leading causes of death combined, with some 11,000 people in the US killed in firearm assaults each year.
There is no broadly accepted definition of a mass shooting. Gun Violence Archive defines a mass shooting as a single incident in which four or more people, not including the shooter, are "shot and/or killed" at "the same general time and location."
The government also doesn't have an official definition. In 2013, a report from the Congressional Research Service, known as Congress's think tank, described mass shootings as those in which shooters "select victims somewhat indiscriminately" and kill four or more people — a higher bar than Gun Violence Archive's, as it doesn't take injuries into account.
In 2013, a federal mandate lowered that threshold to three deaths.
Data from Gun Violence Archive also shows that more than 7,000 people have died from gun-related violence so far this year and more than 13,300 others were injured.
Here's a complete list of the mass shootings— as defined by Gun Violence Archive — that have occurred in the US so far in 2018.
