I mean, technically most shooters do come from single parent families, right? Family and community are important for everyone, let alone raising children.

I don't think "godlessness" is a problem per say, and there's been no studies either way to show gay couples are ineffective as parents - two parents are better than one.

Also, Trump can do all the talking he wants about doing something about mental health issues, but his actions don’t match seeing as his administration and the republicans are planning even more cuts to mental health services, so he might say the right things occasionally, but he never does the right thing in practice, he’s a scam artist, always has been, always will be

“Mental illness and hatred pull the trigger, not the gun,” he said.

President Donald Trump condemned white supremacy on Monday, calling for
Americans to unite around several proposals to help identify and prevent mass
shootings.


“In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white
supremacy,” Trump said. “These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate
has no place in America, hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart and
devours the soul.”


The president signaled support for stronger laws regulating the Internet,
social media, and violent video games and supported the concept of improved
mental health and “red flag” laws, allowing relatives to recommend court-
ordered seizures of their firearms.


We must recognize that the Internet has provided a dangerous avenue to
radicalize disturbed minds and perform demented acts,” he said. “We must
shine a light on the dark recesses of the Internet and stop mass murders
before they start.”


Social media, he said, was an “evil contagion” for hatred.


The president also blamed violent and “gruesome and grisly” video games
for contributing to the shootings.


“It is too easy today for troubled youth to surround themselves with a culture
that celebrates violence,” he said. “We must stop or substantially reduce this
and it has to begin immediately.”


Trump also called for stronger mental health laws that would help “better
identify” mentally disturbed individuals capable of mass shootings.


He proposed that new laws could ensure that individuals suffering from mental
health could “not only get treatment but when necessary, involuntary
confinement.”

Ok, we'll see if that's really true, considering he was already back to blaming the media shortly after reading the statement that someone had written for him and bears no resemblance to anything he's ever done. I do like the fact, that by admitting he's changed his views, you're now admitting that Trump promoted white supremacy.

Which does kinda leave me wondering why people on this forum, you included, have gone out of the way to support his agenda?
