No...the problem is raising kids in a world where they expect participation trophies, applause, attention, and benefits for just existing, and adults failing to teach them how to deal with effing life and its difficulties and disappointments and the right way to handle problems and feelings without deciding that someone needs to die for making them feel bad.

And that isn't at all a specifically "liberal" thing, because raising entitled brats is done by a percentage of parents of all political leanings. After all... here's a boy with Trump loving parents who apparently felt entitled to having daddy buy him a gun at 15 -- and not even make him wait until Christmas as a gift? -- and go on a premeditated shooting spree to end lives seemingly at random.

You keep throwing race in there when that hasn't even come up and, though I'm not sure about the 14-year-old, the other kids who died all look white, so... I mean, maybe aside from their major city, Michigan is otherwise a very white state and given its stats that school is too. Maybe you need to go there and protest white-on-white violence. Because no, excusing a white kid for killing other white kids because meanie liberals allegedly, so claims you and the kinds of sources you pay attention to, tell him AND his victims that they're bad for being white... yeah, that isn't adding up. Again.


edit: Buying a gun that a parent intends to belong to their kid may not be a choice we can stop them from making, but I really feel that legally it should belong to the parent only, until the kid is an adult, and be required to be locked up and inaccessible to a minor who is only ever handling it with parental supervision. Not just hand it to a 15-year-old with total disregard for if he's going to toss it in his backpack and go kill people. And if a parent fails that badly on that front... charge the hell out of them.
