You can however, blame the policies that helped turn the shooter into what he is.

Like an actual common sense gun law that doesn't sell guns to mentally ill people.

If the gun shop knew he was I'll they wouldn't of sold him the gun

Is that how you tell if someone is mentally ill? Just sell them a gun and see if they take it?

Oh, god, please, yes!!! Turn all gun shops into honey pots—folks can really run with this idea.

You don't that's why its silly they are liable

Yeah, we need to implement some kind of system that stores mentally ill people! And then make gun shops call them before every sale!
