So here we go again.

“Hollywood Blames Trump”; “Trump Rhetoric A Factor”; “AOC Hits NRA.”

First of all, President Donald Trump has nothing to do with what goes on in New Zealand. Neither does Trump’s “rhetoric.”

Let’s blame who’s really responsible.

No, not the manufacturer of the gun. He just built a tool. Not all the politicians and their hot-air speeches. It wasn’t the “preachers” spouting “hate your neighbor.”

Facebook did not cause the alleged gunman to write his manifesto or film his actions. The real responsible party is the person who did the shooting. He, and only he, is responsible for his actions. He may have had others who agreed with him. They may have helped him gather his materials and supplies. They may have even encouraged him. At the end, it was an individual who pulled the trigger.
