You never saw the political situation in the state it is in today neither. Everything is unstable and people are angry so they go out and shoot each other and that doesn't make them feel better either. Who to blame? I would start in Washington DC or should I say Washing-done DC.

You have to notice two key things:
First, the perpetrators are sad/depressed/lonely folks who are at the end of their rope and want desperately to be "known" or "famous" (because we've developed a society that worships other people, often for no accomplishment at all, in this country). Mass shootings is the last, best hope of the forlorn to get their name in the paper. It's asinine, but it is part of the thought process, I believe.
Second, these shootings have almost all happened in areas where guns are off limits or severely restricted. Only the Aurora Movie shooter (whose name I will not use, much to his chagrin) was not in a gun-free zone, or at least a de facto gun free zone in the case of NJ. Unarmed people are victims. Armed citizens raise the ante and scare off these cowards.
I'll also add that I'm not entirely sure some of this is not by design in order to foster a political agenda. Those currently in power are not above manufacturing crises and using subterfuge to achieve their nefarious ends. We do not live in a free society any longer, despite wild claims to the contrary.

Some folks need a whipping to learn some manners! If someone would pull these troublemakers aside and straighten them up, life would be better.

Murder rates (including firearm related) as a percent of the population has been going down for a couple of decades despite the growth in firearm ownership. Cities having the the strictest gun control laws have the highest firearm-related murder rates. Similar sized cites with more lenient firearm laws have lower murder rates.
