The most U.S. shooting rampages happen from December thru April (winter). The fewest happen from May thru August (summer).

Many will happen in December, the most in April.

Norway and S. Korea had the worst rampages.

I was surprised to learn the Illinois Legislature is very busy in the month of May.

If there is an observable fact about shooters it would be mental illness. I also think Jared Loughner could still have been enticed or antagonized into targeting Gabby Giffords...I think his type is easily driven nuts and being mislead into thinking Giffords (for example) is the source of his anger.

Something exists that is capable of antagonizing gun owners to get them to kill innocent people.
