There were only a small handful of mass shootings that took place
before 1980 or so.  Why is that?  Because up until that time the courts
viewed the Second Amendment as protecting the rights of individuals.
Today, the courts have changed their opinion, viewing the Second
Amendment as protecting the rights of gun manufacturers, not people.

As such, it is okay for people to kill as many other people with
guns, with no action ever taken against gun manufacturers as being
responsible for having manufactured such weapons of mass destruction.

The Wild, Wild, West was a fun time for a handful of people.
Not so much fun for everybody else.
