It's been years since Columbine and people have yet to realize this.
You also need to realize the fallacy in That rhetoric.
No, guns do not "cause" the crime. Gun advocates always repeat this point regardless of the fact that is not the point.

Guns do not cause the incident to spark. It simply escalates it.
It increases the severity of the crime.

THAT is the problem with guns.

Yes, you are correct in that cause of such incidents are largely responsible on parenting and social problems.
However, that does not have any relevance to neglicting the gun issue.
They are separate problem that compounds each other.
