With few exceptions, the homicide rate in the U.S. has gone down every year for the past quarter-century (it's now half of what it was then). Apparently that can't be due to stricter gun laws, since most of the people in this thread claim nothing has been done to stop the killings. So how exactly do you explain this?

Crime rate in geral has seen a decrease each year. However mass shootings like this are still a persistent problem.

I wouldn't argue otherwise. The declining homicide rate just seems to fly in the face of the notion that relatively easy access to guns in the U.S. is somehow at the heart of these things.
