What ever the persons mental state, it always boils down to ease of access and rapid fire capability. As to statistics since the early 2000's when these shootings amounted to around one a year, it has steadily risen to more than 3 or 4 a year. And it would seem to parallel to the lifting of the assult rifle ban in 2004. Number of people killed in each incident has also increased along these same lines.

Anyone else notice that prior to this big push of the leftist disarmament agenda that these types of rifles were almost never used for crimes?
Less than .03% of violent crimes involved semi auto rifles, IIRC. That's 3 semiautomatic rifles in every 100 thousand violent crimes!
But as the government moves ever closer to socialism, the very rifles the government fears in private hands "suddenly" became used in more and more shootings to kill more and more people!
Doesn't this make you scratch your head just a little bit?
Sometimes a few people have to be sacrificed in order for things to move forward. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and a host of other dictators realized this.
