This isn’t happening in any other high income country.
Its not mental illness.
It’s not video games or movies.
It’s not single parenting.
It’s not the fault of law enforcement.
It’s the hundreds of millions of guns and too few gun laws. Full stop.

Maryland has the 6th strictest control in the nation. An armed guard took down the shooter. We need mental illness reform now and armed staff

What evidence might draw a causal link sufficiently strongly to convince a sizable portion of gun folks?

Seems like talking religion.

You know most of those murders are committed by inner city thugs, right?
School shootings are indeed mostly done by those with mental illness. Only additional gun law we need is to make sure there are armed officers in the schools...like the gentleman today.
@shannonrwatts
Agree, but it's also true that these crimes are committed almost exclusively by men. Emotional immaturity and frustrated male privilege are a significant part of the problem.

Actually it is mental illness and poor parenting. Punishing the rest of us because of the actions of a school shooter is allowing the shooter to win. I stand with my fellow veterans for the Constitution and Liberty over hypothetical temporary Safety.
