To tell you where I live— it is Wyoming [close to Yellowstone] and most of us grew up learning to shoot game with a single-shot long rifle. [30.06 or 30.30, for examples] And I remember when the NRA was teaching gun safety. Just common sense stuff that meant you never pointed a loaded gun at anyone else and you made sure that the game [ usually elk] was where the round was the only target you were aiming for. Maybe it is the fact that we have wide open spaces on the mountains to where we can hunt that still indicate that there are very few accidents here. A mass shooting is something we only read about in mostly larger cities. People still remember Colombine HS in Denver where there was one of those mass shootings–I believe in was in the early 2000’s.

My personal opinion is that we are reaching the End Times and as A Christian. Gun violence will increase in that scenario as it has.
