Repost from GD: A nearly complete list of those responsible for the Orlando massacre

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027903608

So far, from DU and other sources, the following have been held to be responsible
for the horrible mass shooting:

The FBI
Gun culture
LGBT culture
The LGBT rights movement
The NRA
Wayne LaPierre
Every gun owner in the US
Gun Nuts
Guntards
The Second Amendment
Anybody who doesn't support immediate repeal of the Second Amendment
Assault Rifles
Assault Weapons
Extended magazines
Detachable magazines
AR-15s
Abrahamic religion
Islam
Wahabi Islam
ISIS
ISIS propaganda on social media
The victims
The LGBT rights movement
The shooter's employer
Scary-looking guns
Popular culture
Social media
Violent media

I can't help but feel that this list is somehow incomplete- perhaps some kind poster
could complete it for us?

Who is missing from that list. However mass consensus is that individuals are not responsible for their actions

But as I observed in the GD thread, that's not nearly as self-righteously satisfying
as blaming one's bete noire of choice that didn't actually do it...

blaming LGBT culture and The LGBT rights movement? (this first part was serious)

who may be a good first baseman, but he's an asshole. think about it, who and his accomplice I Don't Know are responsible for the majority of crimes committed in this country.

They locked the thread, but they were blaming Skinner for allowing the Gungeon to exist, so therefore he contributed to the murders somehow.

Wants to ban "automatic weapons," which haven't been used in a US mass shooting in maybe never.
