Not just one, but a combination of these are involved.<br /><br />Alcohol and drug abuse, addiction to media products, aimlessness, fascination with weapons and violence, experience with guns, access to guns, threatening violence to themselves/others, feeling rejected/humiliated, and seeking status and worth through violence (especially after seeing all the attention that other criminals get.)<br /><br />Gun control is a hotly debated topic in the U.S. Many people don't understand that the government will only take away their firearms if they have a history of mental illness or committing violent crime.

Many people don't understand that the government doesn't want to take away the average person's firearm, but wants to make sure that those with a history of violence or mental illness don't get them.<br /><br />As an American, I don't get my culture's attachment to guns.
