No, it's only the biggest factor when all else fails.
The victims, and this kid were failed by broken education, broken families, societal apathy, profit only based pharmaceuticals, desensitization to violence, media hyperbole and sensationalism that makes mundane events into vehicles of fear to advance ideas that can't otherwise succeed.
The biggest factor is that we are a fractured, dysfunctional, disenfranchised, population bled dry of wealth and opportunity.
Not everything has to have a profit motive.
Jebus. We aren't talking about some grand abstraction here-we are talking about real life. You can blame this on society, and you will missing the point.
