We always had lots of guns, why are mass shootings a modern phenomenon?

I think we should regulate them the way we do cars. But also there’s clearly some underlying issue. Maybe cultural where people see guns as a way to escape or see them as part of their personality.

Because old guns took 30 seconds to reload one bullet and were inaccurate past like 3 meters

I think they meant like 1970, not 1870.

I'm seeing a lot of shootings since the 80s. Guns get better and people get more fucked up mentally. America chooses to fix neither.
