I don't understand. The father immediately blames guns for the reason of the shooting and doesn't even question his sons mental state.

 

Did the guns convince his son to become a sociopathic murderer? Were the guns whispering in his ear to kill innocents? The assailant is obviously a sociopath. So when do we actually start blaming assailants rather than the tools? It is one thing to call for stricter gun control, but it is another to believe that the reason for the attack was a RESULT of lax gun control. Insane people do insane things. Blame them, not the tools. I don't believe this is a hoax, but every single time some sociopath goes on a rampage, the media immediately diverts attention away from the assailants mental state and immediately on to the guns. Just because you get rid of guns doesn't mean you still don't have a free-roaming sociopath. If he wants to kill, he will find another way, guns or not.
