“Why are US mass shootings getting more deadly?” – BBC News

M.N.: I did notice this trend also and mentioned it in one of my previous posts. 

The answer: because the planners and the organizers of these attacks do everything to approach the military efficiency in these operations. They do view them as the para-military types of operations. The preferred use of the AR-15 (Kalashnikovs or its modifications) also points in this direction, besides serving the (deadly) commercial advertising purposes.
