I may be just getting old but I blame rap music. I mean there was gangsta rap back when I was a teen, but it was hard to get your hands on cassettes, someone 18 had to buy them and pretty much only people 15 or 16 or older could get their hands on it, nowadays with the internet, elementary aged kids know all the lyrics to every youngboy songs, they watch youtube videos glorifying gun violence nonstop on cellular devices, it inundates their young developing minds.
Maybe I'm just old, but the amount of gun violence glorification and the increase in gun violence seem related to me.
