8chan may not be the cause, exactly, but it seems like a tool by which these basement dwelling losers are becoming radicalized.

8chan is both the effect and the cause. It feeds into itself.

Ya but you don't visit 8chan unless you're into that stuff in the first place.  But no doubt going on there further encourages people.

At least they’ve figured out why this stuff is happening....

An evangelical leader claimed Sunday that mass shootings are caused by “driving God from the public square,” and specifically by teaching kids about evolution.

“We’ve taught our kids that they come about by chance through primordial slime and then we’re surprised that they treat their fellow Americans like dirt,” Tony Perkins, head of the Family Research Council, said on “Fox & Friends” one day after a gunman in Texas killed seven and wounded 21 others.

“I think we have to go back to the point where we instill in these children, at least give them the opportunity to know that they’re created in the image of God, therefore they have inherent value,” he added.

Perkins also claimed it’s impossible to have morality without religion, a view he said George Washington had shared.

People like this evangelical leader have millions of adherents and millions of dollars to push this kind of BS.

Well the average so far this year for mass shootings in the US is a little more than one per day. Now since it's almost 2 days since the Odessa/Midland Texas deal, the next one is overdue. I assume gun shops are open on Labor Day so things will soon be back on schedule.

The number of mass shootings across the U.S. thus far in 2019 has outpaced the number of days this year, according to a gun violence research group. This puts 2019 on pace to be the first year since 2016 with an average of more than one mass shooting a day.

So it doesn't seem to matter even if you fail a background check you can still go ahead and buy an assault rifle when you get in the mood for a mass shooting. Maybe Trump is right, let every crazy Mo FO have all the guns they want. When Americans finish killing each other as they babble about the 2nd amendment, we'll head for their southern beaches.

Children in classrooms are usually carrying books, not swords.

7 dead people “lived by the sword”, according to Poonlight.

Yeah, and again what's interesting when you look at the difference in the numbers between US and Canada is that we also own a lot of "swords", but we don't die by them nearly as often. Trump tells us it's all to do with mental illness. According to that Canada, is a much saner country.

Americans have high rates of gun ownership, and so they have high rates of gun violence.

That seems to assume that simply owning a gun is going to cause one to use it in a violent way. We have guns here in Canada but we don't shoot each other near as often. Might be a bit to do with who can, and how easy it is to get a gun in the US. The latest shooter in the US already had a criminal background but that didn't stop him from buying an assault rifle. And who the hell needs an AR15 unless you are military?

I think it is a bit more than that. Yes the high rate of gun ownership, especially the type of weapons is one factor. I think there are other societal issues as well.
