Why are people killing their families all of a sudden?

[Anonymous]

Another suicide murder in massachusetts where struggling writer dad killed wife and three kids then himself. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/children-s-book-author-among-family-five-found-shot-dead-n1063666. Along with the Atlanta murder where mom killed both adult kids and then herself due to recent divorce and several others, I have a couple questions:

1. Is this due to more access to guns?
2. Did this always happen or is this a more recent issue?
3. Is it the instagram stresses of life? I.e. feeling down because your life is not how you pictured/ others pictured it to be?

It's always happened. We just hear about it more often.

Depression.
Guns.
The thought that you are saving them and yourself from living without each other: "we can be together in heaven" nonsense.

This has always been happening. News is just much more accessible now, so you hear about it.

Narcissistic men with guns. The attitude of: "well if I can't be happy or get what I want, neither should anyone else."

And yes, it's almost entirely men who kill their spouse and kids, often in custody/divorce/separation issue, because they refuse to accept that other people would like to live without them.

....and women. many of these crimes are being committed by MOTHERS.

As a rare exception. It's almost always the men/fathers.

They are psychotic

They are depressed. They are having financial problems. They want to kill themselves to escape and think their family will be off dead than struggling without them. It is very sad.

Guns aren't the problem. Parents who aren't raising their children, thrusting them into daycare at 4 mo. A high divorce rate with children being shuffled from home to home. A educational system that pressures kids early on. Remember in Kindergarten you went p/t, and the kids took a nap? Not so today. Many factors are creating unstable kids who become unstable adults. If you look at family killers study their family dynamics.

I think people are stretching to build a lifestyle or family on two incomes and when that family breaks down, the remaining partner feels/knows they can't obtain that same fairytale through any other means.

The author who killed his family was being completely supported by his wife since at least 2016. I bet she filed for divorce and he couldn't take it.

The family killers seem to he very conservative. What's your point?

The men who kill their families grew up like that - they still kill their families.

And it's not like men abusing their families is some kind of recent happening.

Guns are indeed the problem or at the very least , increase the likelihood of such heinous acts to occur . The problem with people like you is your ignorant insistence of acting as if there are problems that are unique to this country and as such these outcomes are inevitable . Wherever humans exist , there are going to be issues like stress, marital strife and what not. However , the absence of guns in other societies force people to perhaps seek less violent solutions to their problems .Basic common sense
