Even if the shooter was a leftie apparently, if they were mentally ill, then regardless of their politicial views, the person who basically allowed them to have the gun, is (partially) responsible IMO.

By that logic we can blame Obama for the shootings which happened under his presidency.

I know people point to Trump lifting some regulations, but (as far as I know) that only applied to older people who needed help with their pension, not all people with mental issues.
