I am afraid this is correct.
20 years ago murder rates in the United States were over twice what they are now. This was mainly do to gang/drug activity. No one law made the murder rates drop. Instead it was cultural shift.
Today people who feel completely helpless can take out their frustration by grabbing a gun and killing a bunch of people. It is not as much for the fame as it is for the feeling of power and control it gives them.
How do we fix it? I don't know.
