Despite the best efforts of some in the so-called "mainstream media," a surprising new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll published this week says that more Americans blame bad parenting and Hollywood for mass shootings than they do guns.
Guns actually came in fifth place, behind parenting, effective treatment for mental health, media coverage of mass shootings and violence in movies and video games.
The shooting at the Sandy Hook primary school last week was a terrible tragedy, the second worst in U.S history. The lives that were lost, the young and the old, are irreplaceable. Now the search is on for the reason.
