The root causes are pretty simple to understand - hatred/insanity/terror/etc. They aren't unique to the US. What is unique is the ability for some of these people to carry out the attacks with military-grade weapons. We had a kid bring a crossbow to a school a year or two ago and attack a few students. Some injuries, but no deaths. If their parents had had access to a rifle or worse instead of a crossbow however...
The fact that other crazies have blazed a trail for these folks to follow doesn't help either, to be fair.
