They are giving aid and comfort to the shooters. They are empowering them. They are imbuing in them a sense that they have the right to do whatever they want with their firearms.
They are creating an environment were the shooters/murderers can become the object of HERO WORSHIP.
This is the case with the latest gun mass murderer, 26-year-old, Chris Harper Mercer, who killed 10 people and wounded others on the campus of Umpqua Community College in Roseberg, Oregon. He identified himself in his online profile as a 'conservative republican' with an aversion for 'organized religion' and was looking for a 'ying' for his 'yang'. A young man searching. It seems, at least, Harper Mercer found a role model. The murderer of Alison Parker.
From The Daily Beast:

"In a blog linked to that identity, Harper-Mercer expressed admiration for Roanoke shooter Vester Flanagan.
People "like him have nothing left to live for," Harper-Mercer wrote on August 31. "On an interesting note, I have noticed that so many people like him are all alone and unknown, yet when they spill a little blood, the whole world knows who they are. ... A man who was known by no one, is now known by everyone. His face splashed across every screen, his name across the lips of every person on the planet, all in the course of one day. Seems the more people you kill, the more you're in the limelight. ""
Likewise, the white supremacist church shooter, gun mass murderer, Dylann Roof was 'inspired' by the killer of Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman.
From Mother Jones:

"The event that truly awakened me was the Trayvon Martin case," the writing says. "It was obvious that Zimmerman was in the right. But more importantly this prompted me to type in the words 'black on White crime' into Google, and I have never been the same since that day."
It's not enough that the Far Right will not stop their seemingly insane resistance to a national gun policy in ANY FORM, they have to propose counter solutions. What are their answers to the problem?
More guns. More threats. More slogans. More rationalization of the shootings.
And even defense of those doing the shootings, as in the case of George Zimmerman.
"Fox News adopts George Zimmerman"
Far-Right's, glorification of guns and gun culture, as characterized by the Tea Party's '15 Non-Negotiable Core Beliefs' where they claim gun ownership to be a 'sacred' right, which it is not, is nut-job tonic to the mentally unstable.
For the Tea Party's education, sacred means of God.
Guns are NOT OF GOD.
This type of extremist position is pounded non-stop by Fox News and other right-wing media.
They simply MUST STOP.
I don't want to hear anymore of their hateful nonsense. The Far Right media, Fox News, their pundits and all the no gun law extremists bear a personal responsibility for these crimes.
