There is a gun culture tied up with masculinity, combined with easy access to weapons that is specific to the US.

"People are being made into mass murderers by the media," is a simplistic misrepresentation of the article, which talks about riot theory being a part of it.

It helps to read the article prior to making statements about the content, then you have a basis on which to disagree with someone who has.
