Why are there more Mass Shootings?

So today I heard there was another school shooting and it happened in Roswell, New Mexico. CNN presented a graph indicating the rise in mass shootings.  Then they asked, why has there been this increase?  

For one there is one thing we can rule out and that is guns is the major player in the contribution.  There were less regulations in the past and there was less mass shooting and to some degree less of a problem.  Second, I think the problem are the signs that are posted outside of buildings, "This is a gun free school," "No firearms permitted."  These building managers and schools are setting themselves to be targeted by idiots who enjoy taking the lives of others.  Third, this society believes that the world can become perfect. Well, I hate to burst your bumble, this world is never going to be perfect and you need to get over it.  I always believe that you can improve the world, but there is always going to be that one person or a group of people that want to harm others.  

Fifth, but not the last...responsibility.  We live in a society where people do not take responsibility for their actions.  They blame disorders despite knowing what is wrong and right.  They blame people, the blame the government, they blame their family, and they just blame everything else but themselves.  

The world is never going to be perfect, but one thing is that we can prevent these killings by improving community programs, better education, and promote responsibility for your own destiny and actions.

However, there is still going to be that one jerk that wants to harm everyone else.
