There were mass shootings in the 1950s. Not nearly as many but it still happened.
On the other hand, my grandparents died from diseases easily treatable today. They were younger than I am now. My dad's parents died before I was born, my maternal grandparents died in 1957 and 1958. They never got to know us, we never got to know them.
As I said, there are a lot of things we could and should be doing better, but we're also doing much better in a many ways than we did way back when.
