Comment on We have had guns for 200 years but mass shootings only became common in the last 30. So what changed?

The point he’s making is that the title asks what changed to make mass shootings more commons “in the last 30 years” and you answered it by blaming the difference between guns today and guns 250 years ago, so he pointed out that there was at least a 30 year period where the guns of today were available and yet the mass shooting problem of today didn’t exist (1960-1990).

That would mean that the cause of mass shootings today isn’t necessarily because we evolved beyond the musket.
