  The vast majority of the mass shootings that target random victims in 
schools, malls, and theaters aren't committed by people with a violent 
past, so the argument that 'they never committed violence before' is 
pretty much irrelevant to the context of this conversation.

and parties where it seems to be related to gang activity. Those aren't' 
the types of incidents we're discussing.
