Poverty, mental illness, the war on drugs, entertainment that glamorizes violence, no jobs, no opportunity, etc.

Stronger data is definitely needed, look how misdirected the gun control approach is. Handguns are used in most incidents of gun violence in this country, rifles and shotguns account for something like 10%. Background checks and mental health reporting could make a small impact but it would be nice to have strong data showing how many firearms are illegally obtained subverting these steps anyway.
