This is going to make the NRA nuts come up with a new excuse..if the person is over 21, has experience and "respect" for weapons of war, not affiliated with a specific hate group or religion, didn't watch video games or had a history of mental health issues than why did he do it? It is never the gun's fault, it is always the shooter's or even sometimes they even blame the victims. I will bet you $1,000,000 it was done by a man. More specifically, an American man.
