Are School shootings in the US an exclusively millennial phenomenon??

[FourAceDeal]

It is a USA only phenomena.   Discuss that.

Not exclusively but largely.

I think there's unique sociological factors that have lead to this.

Back in 1933 a kid could walk into a hardware store and buy a fully automatic Thompson Sub-machinegun with a 100 round drum.

Why weren't there mass school shootings back then??

....and there it is.  Easy access to assault weapons has nothing to do with mass shootings.   Yeah.  Right.

...and you couldn't pull up directions on how to build a pipe bomb on the internet back then.

Ever hear of the Anarchist's Cook Book??

  Actually, no.  I'll bet a lot of people have never heard of it.

I was asking IQ, but it was a fairly well known book when I was in HS in the 80's. Several of my fellow students had a copy and they were passed around quite a bit, and yet no terrorist acts.

Gee, that's directly comparable with the situation now.
