Yes. However I think there isn't a single cause to the problem, the roots are both psychological and social, and you have to add the fact that the access to weapons is too easy.
Politicians aren't interested in a true change in the laws and probably that wouldn't even be enough becuse it would just strenghten the black market of weapons.

At least this latest batch right before the Paris attacks.

What's strange is he and other Democrats can't seem to say the
words Muslim or Terrorism. And they most certainly won't
link the two together.

Doesn't that bother you?

are worse.

And now under this administration we have the big players heavily involved
in the Middle East. Once they're there watch them turn against Israel. That
is where this is all going.

Read the Holy Bible and you'll see how this story is going to end.

However since the dawn of time all the wars, especially those made in the name of religion, are truly made for money and power.

I don't know if its true but I read somewhere there are more guns in the USA than people. If true then that's quite staggering.

Should they also say "Christian Terrorism" when someone shoots up a Planned Parenthood?

I knew it was a bad thing when the Brady gun restrictions were allowed to lapse quite deliberately. After the incident that spawned that originally it's target Ronald Reagan said his fellow conservatives needed to vote to keep assault style weapons off the streets. There is no reason for military type gear and ammo clips in a civilized society, collectors can go cry on their vast back copies of catalogs. The U.S. needs the real NRA back, most of it's members wanted universally enforced restrictions and background checks all along. Gun safety and education have taken a back seat for a long time. Always ask, and how is this working out for you? What you have now is extreme. Funny the characters who pray loudest in public show the most zealousness for fringe supposed freedoms, what about the freedom to not to have to take part in an ever escalating everyone for themselves arms race? Everyone for themselves = not a society. Laws should be different for rural vs. urban too, so stupid to harass and bug people in rural areas with basic rifles for hunting and defense toward wildlife.

It's probably too late at this point though but those are the thoughts of someone who has used guns as a tool and lived and worked in both the U.S. and Canada and have relatives and loved ones in both all my life.
