So did we not have criminals "with no criminal history with a low or higher IQ who is not psychotic and understands the benefits of lying" prior to the 1980's? And do other countries not have such criminals?

Because we didn't have mass shootings (of the modern variety) prior to that, and other countries have no such shootings, or far fewer (per capita) than us ... and those facts seem to directly contradict your point.

Definitions matter. The big ones are rare and do not represent the bulk of mass shooting statistics. See Sweden sex laws for analog.

Yeah definitions are everything, when you define a mass shooting as something like 3 or more victims from a single shooter then inner city gang violence are by far the bulk of them according to FBI statistics last I checked

But torture the data enough and it will yield the results you want. If you want to make a profile that mass shooters are unhinged white conservatives, I’m sure there’s a way to use data qualifiers to show this
