If the evidence does not support the madman with a gun theory, that can't be what they have in common. It's not arcane knowledge or a well hidden state secret. The US, Norway, and Macedonia all register mass shootings as a consequence of ethno-centric domestic terrorism.
I think mass shooters have an undiagnosed mental illness. If willingness to kill strangers is not a sign of mental illness, what is? But it doesn't follow that a diagnosed mental illness is a good predictor of being a mass shooter and that people with a diagnosed mental illness should not be allowed to have guns. Also, I think making it illegal for people with mental illness to own a gun will make people owning a gun be afraid of visiting a psychiatrist.
You think wrong. They do not. They are terrorists, not mentally ill. There's no ambiguity in the data on this..not in the US..not in Norway...not in Macedonia. If mass shooters were nuts, that would mean that being nuts was a good predictor of mass shootings. They aren't and so it isn't, no need to tie our scrotums into knots trying to argue against the other guy and ourselves simultaneously.
You wanna talk about a good predictor of mass shootings? Consumption of reich wing content and participation in reich wing events. Easy. You could have a hundred guns and a history of depression, but none of that makes you more likely to be a mass shooter. You could have no guns and no mental health history but a strong youtube content fetish..and that does.
Ter...ro.....rists.....
Case in point, the alleged subject of this entire thread, a mass shooting in belgrade. Why did the shooter say he did it? To intimidate the population.
