Just makes me wonder what has really changed over the years that is making these teens do things like this? Because there has always been angry, rebellious teenagers throughout the years....but nothing like this.
Guns were never put forth as a way to deal with other humans all the time.

When I was young body building and learning to fight or self defense was put forth as solutions to dealing with bullies or attackers.

Alarm systems and dogs as a way to protect your home.

Now it is guns are the solution to these things and once you accept lethal force as a means to deal with other humans in certain situations than the you see it as an answer to more problems.
