America had plenty of guns when its mass murder rate was much lower. Given the same [historical] ubiquity of guns, wouldn't the most productive question be what, if anything, has changed since the 1960s and '70s [when these events suddenly spiked?**********

America is much more ethnically diverse, much less religious. Boys have far fewer male role models in their lives. Fewer men marry, and normal boy behavior is largely held in contempt by their feminist teachers, principals and therapists.
Do any or all of those factors matter more than the availability of guns?
Let's briefly investigate each factor.
