So what is going on? Is it really because of access to weapons, mental health and media?

I think they are just copying previous individuals who also carried out these crimes... imo Monkey see Monkey do sort of things. Columbine has been the calling mark and initial event that has given these people cause to commit mass shooting as well imo.
