Nah that’s crap. I can give an easy counter-example. The Port-Arthur massacre in Australia. You know, when we got all the gun laws as a result.

One guy, with issues, two guns, 35 dead. Motivation was revenge and fame. No community required.

Your statement is just wrong.

He had a projected IQ of about 66. I don’t know if you’ve engaged with many people with intellectual impairment, but it doesn’t take much for “dumb idea” to gain traction.

He wasn’t radicalised, look it up. He was just an evil git that should never have been allowed near a gun.
