Is it the drugs or is it that people who do mass shooters (minus the gang-bangers) have a history of mental illness and therefore have been prescribed SSRI's?

There's always been crazy people. The mass shootings have increased with the rise of SSRI usage. Correlation does not equal causation but it's certainly worth a few studies.

I would say that mass shootings have increased, at least in part, to media coverage.
