Workplace shootings...what is to blame

A shooting in the workplace is a tragic event that seem to be becoming way to common. Yesterday a woman who had been suspended from her job at a snack plant in Philadelphia, that's right SUSPENDED returned minutes later and opened fire. Just last month in Connecticut a man fired for stealing from his beer distribution job returned and killed 9 people, including himself. So what is to blame for these shocking acts of violence? Is it the gun laws that many believe are still not strict enough? Well that always seems to be the popular answer and in many cases, such as the VA Tech shooting it is a warranted answer. Or could our current economic state mixed with the thought of losing a stable job be the reason people shoot up the workplace? In this situation and the shooting in Connecticut maybe. I believe maybe there is another explanation, one that is more disheartening. I don't believe it's the lack of stricter gun laws, in these workplace shootings many of these people have owned firearms for years and have no history of mental problems. The right to bear arms is still valued by many Americans as it should. So if the gun laws aren't to blame maybe its the stress of our current economic state and job security. Could be, but shootings in the workplace have been going on for years and aren't isolated to the United States. That's why I have my own theory of what is to blame. Maybe people despise their job and co-workers so badly that they will murder innocent people if set off by some event. This woman in Philadelphia was suspended, as in probably going to work there again. She must really despise her job. Besides these people there are still a lot of employees who hate their job. Apparently the workforce can have some negative side-affects. That's why I love college, and hope my 40 years in the workforce is enjoyable.
