I can't speak to the reasons with regards to this shooter, but I am left wondering what are the statistics as to mass shooting events happening during "presidential administrations?" Maybe it is just me, but it seems like there has been a MAJOR uptick on shootings during Biden's term.

That is a very interesting thought. It shouldn’t be too difficult to put those numbers together.

It started to ramp-up during Obama.

Interesting chart, but it could be interpreted as an indication of the division and anger created by the Trump term.

Yep, otherwise known as Trump Derangement Syndrome. Nevertheless, mass shootings started ramping-up under Obama's second term.

I think the obama's reign of terror showed the same uptick.

Some truth there, but hardening schools has the best chance of mitigating the damage while we solve the root issues - parental involvement, mental health etc.

That's a more reasonable way of looking at it... Most of the time it seems like it's framed as the only step though.
