I agree with your entire post without reservation. It makes me wonder though:

What are the motivations of US school/mass shooters? So far, the answer has been 'mental health issues', but given the relatively sudden rise in the attacks (while weapons have been available for decades), 'mental health issues' seems 'hate our freedoms'-tier.

If I had to guess school shooting have increased due to: a. increased information flows due to social media. i.e. people are inspired by the actions of others. Social media is saturated with news. b. increased mental health issues caused by social isolation in the modern world. It sounds odd but some people when growing up mistake attention for love. So any solicitation of attention can be thought of as a underlying desire to be loved.
