Who does the right-wing blame for the SC shooting?

Found this on another message board:

Right-wing media scorecard, thus far:

•Politically Correct roommate who didn't report Roof's plans because the roommate didn't judge Roof for his crazy talk? He's to blame.

•Murdered pastor who didn't make sure everyone in church was armed? He's to blame.

•People who think gun violence is such a problem that we should do something about the ease with which someone can obtain a gun? They're to blame.

•Obama? He's to blame.

•Liberals? They're to blame.

•Multiculturalism? It's to blame.

•Gun-free zones? They're to blame.

•The guy who actually killed everyone? Not his fault because mental illness.

Guns? The Confederate Flag? The culture in the South? Nicki Haley? StormFront? His dad (who it is appears didn't buy the gun)?

Me? I blame Dylann Root. And frankly I've seen little indication that many here feel the same way.

"the shooter" is by definition part of gun culture. Try another tube of lipstick on your gun culture pig.

You blame a nebulous entity called 'the gun culture'.

Who is that? Anyone who owns a gun?

I only have a few -

Have posted links to an article from some "Natural News" site that is stating it was Big Pharma's fault.

I've noted - neither one has had a kind word for the victims.

NRA board member blames Charleston Pastor Clementa Pinckney for his own death

An NRA board member blamed Pastor Clementa Pinckney, one of the victims of Dylann Storm Roof, for his own death, claiming that his opposition to a bill that would have allowed individuals to carry concealed weapons in churches is the reason Roof was able to murder nine people Wednesday night, ThinkProgress’s Jedd Legum reports.

and shooting back. Plus, they are secretly happy because they agree with the shooter and secretly approve of the shooting and the reasons for it.
