In general yes but this discussion is a out mass shootings.
This discussion is about gun violence. Saying there weren't a lot of school shootings back then is about as helpful to the root issue discussion as saying that cyberbullying wasn't an issue before the 90s anyways.
Almost all comments in this chain, and indeed the immediate one you replied to mention "school shooting".
Beyond that, schools and dangerous guns existed before 1980.
Edit even the original meme is about a school shooting
School shootings aren't a part of gun violence?
Of course they are, but to suggest the same variables drive a school shooting vs a midnight gas station robbery is silly
