Gun control activists are quick to blame mass shootings on the proliferation of firearms, but are less likely to point to the proliferation of fatherless households.
Yet research shows that school shooters tend to come from broken homes, where one or more parent is absent, addicted or abusive.
Warren Farrell, co-author of the just-released “The Boy Crisis: Why Our Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It,” said the frequency at which fathers are absent has been devastating for the development of boys. He pointed to research showing that boys without fathers fare worse than boys with fathers on more than 70 different metrics.
“They’re much more likely to drink, much more likely to do drugs, much more likely to be depressed, much more likely to be suicidal, much more likely to be violent, much more likely to be in prison,” Mr. Farrell said. “And they’re also much more likely to commit mass shootings.”

Of course it is ignored. They don't want a strong male presence in the home. The left wants the family to be destroyed and the woman dependent on the government-remember Hillary's "it takes a village " nonsense?
It's been proven over an over again how strong the link is between fatherless boys and violence.
No doubt, broken families often leave an adverse effect on the lives of the children. Going by the study and article, one would expect a lot more mass shootings from African-Americans? The supposed causation for mass shootings does not seem to correlate with the statistics on family compositions. Does it then suggest more caucasian males are abandoning their responsibilities given the prevalence of shootings and shooters?
