I don't really know, but what I do know is I can find no evidence of any mass shootings carried out at gun shows, in gun shops, at firing ranges, at gun clubs or at hunting lodges. Is this because almost everyone in those places is armed or is it just a coincidence? I don't know, but I'm sure the liberal socialist left wingnuts will be able to tell me why this is.
The main factor is the cause of the violence. You have to look at the pathology of the mental state of the shooter to determine the "reason" he(usually) wants to perform the act.
Mass shooters tend to plan out thier attacks in advance. The shooters often have elaborate reasons for thier outburts, even if it doesnt make sense to the rest of us.
Looking at most mass shootings the one main common denominator has been thier occurance at gun free zones. Thus one might be able to conclude these types of shooters prefer areas where they know they can cause maximimum carnage before a response can occur.
If this is the reason for choosing these areas, then most mass shooters would avoid gun shows, just as they would avoid police stations.
