For what it's worth, one of the main contributing factors to terroristic activity is lack of economic prospects. Similar enough that it rings true to me. Also, consider that pre-Columbine, the cultural template for mass shootings was someone disgruntled about their workplace.

Correlation is not causation. At least I'd ask you to entertain the thought that the same factors that make a specific individual be without economic prospects also are factors that turn him violent.

Sure, third-variable problem is absolutely appropriate. But I'm not claiming causation here, just saying that drawing the connection is far from absurd.
