LINK Presidents and Mass Shootings | National Affairs
This is an interesting read. Very interesting and disgustingly tragic.
(This isn't a quick read if you're interested in the details. I think it's worth the time I spent paying close attention. It's truly disheartening, however.)

Really awful that even in 1968 the gun lobby was in control (I started to say calling the shots):
"The Gun Control Act of 1968 limited interstate and mail-order purchases of firearms. Johnson signed the bill into law but also argued that it did not go far enough: "The voices that blocked these safeguards were not the voices of an aroused nation. They were the voices of a powerful gun lobby that has prevailed for the moment in an election year." "

1960's when the Sight of an "Armed Hippie" was a "Real Scare"!!!!! Just Saying.... I grew up in the 1960's.
