What part of our society is ultimately responsible for the shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL?

What part of society - simple yet often over-used perhaps: The parents. The ones responsible for raising the child into a functioning member of society. Just like the Drill Sergeant is responsible for turning the recruit into a functioning soldier in the Army.

No one person or segment of society. The real culprit is school access control. l

Only the individual that committed the crime

their mommy

What part of society? 1/330,000,000 plus a lackluster police officer not intervening and who knows with the failed to take action on reports. So maybe a handful or a dozen. Guns don't load themselves, call uber, walk in, and shoot people

The shooter, But the publicity given after the facts tends to increase the number of shootings , Let people know what happened (especial in the area where it happen, but lets stop making the shooter the main focus of the story

This is not an easy question to answer. The firearms used in this incident were purchased legally. However, the NRA has tried to intervene when Congress has tried to propose Comprehensive gun reform. THAT has happened in the past, since Colombine, and maybe even before that. The NRA has compromised several politicians in addition to being compromised themselves. They spread the narrative that any comprehensive gun reform is an attack on the 2nd Amendment. The NRA has to be removed from the political equation.

Parents - pretty simple to me!

CSM I understand your concern I also feel the same way what on Gods earth is going on here? For one Morgan Freeman said it best the internet is the greatest and worst invention ever. You can look up directions where to go or a great recipe for a cake. There are also people that are mentally ill that read about these shootings on the internet and think I can do better than that. You write about citizens reporting these behaviors. The Aurora CO shooter had a Ph.D. in Neurosciences' he was seeing a psychiatrist she became so scared of him she stopped seeing him. She called the hospital security explained who she was dealing with and to have him not come in the building her call fell on deaf ears. She called the Aurora police department that fell on deaf ears she emailed the police department never received a reply. We all know what he did in the movie theatre. The prosecuting attorney found out he was seeing her he went to go after her she showed the phone calls and emails she sent out months in advance the chief of police made a statement the police force is over worked and we missed it just a CYA in my mind. When Gabriel Gifford was shot Jared's parents had him deemed in court a threat to himself and others. He still bought all of his weapons at a local gun store he was checked for previous felonies not if he was deemed mentally unfit. We need more people to chase down these calls and to show what actually happens when you get caught doing this. I am now done ranting. We also need better laws on people with mental illness that they cannot buy a weapon it will not stop everything but it should slow it down

The removal of God from society welcomed evil in....
