If you are indoctrinated by the media, you’d think everyone is blaming the “lack” of gun control for what happened in Parkland, Florida that lead to the death of 17 people. But if you actually poll Americans, the cause of the Parkland shooting isn’t even close. More than half of Americans blame failed government officials including the FBI and the Coward County Sheriff Scott Israel. Only about a third of those polled blamed gun laws. That’s basically all Democrats and left wingers who call themselves independents.

Most Americans think government error is more responsible than a lack of gun control for the Valentine’s Day massacre at a Florida high school.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 54% of American Adults believe the failure of government agencies to respond to numerous warning signs from the prospective killer is more to blame for the mass shooting. Thirty-three percent (33%) attribute the deaths more to a lack of adequate gun control. Eleven percent (11%) opt for something else. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Among Americans who have children of elementary or secondary school age, 61% think the government is more to blame. Just 23% of these adults fault a lack of adequate gun control more.
