I do feel sympathy for this man as he grieves through the loss of his son. It is something no parent should have to endure.
However, the focus on calling for an end to gun violence is missing the mark. The focus should be on the mental condition of the young man who committed these crimes which he did with a knife, a gun and a car.
Sadly, already liberal politicians are calling for additional unconstitutional gun control. The libs never waste an opportunity.

It’s as much the media as libs. They showcase these grieving parents to reach their goal of total gun control.
The sad thing is, these people need to blame someone or something so of course they lash out. Then the slimeballs in D.C. and the media exploit their grief.
These people have no shame.

Agreed. And what about the knife that he killed his first three victims with? The boy had serious mental issues and I can’t help but think this fathers rant was arranged by a Hoolywood handler or damage control specialist to deflect the real issue.

Any activism from the families of the stabbing victims?
Any media profiles of them?

People say and do things when they are grief-stricken that - I think- ill give them a pass.
At least for awhile anyway.
One moment his son was a young healthy happy kid - and then poof - gone.
That is an enormous blow to deal with & I’m not going to doggy pile on the guy.

So the three people he stabbed to death don’t matter?

Had his son obtained his concealed carry, he would have had more of a chance than waiting for the police and a toe-tag.

As a parent and grandparent I have sympathy for this father. As a believer in individual liberty I find his comments repulsive and expect him to be the next detestable media created Cindy Sheehan.

From what I’ve gleaned from the news stories it was the entitled elite killing their own.

Major scrutiny should be placed on his parents. It is their responsibility to prepare him for an uncaring world. It is those two who failed him and society so miserably.

Where are the liberal cameras and microphones on the grieving parents of the victims who were stabbed, or the people injured by the killer's vehicle?
To: ealgeone
This guy went political from the get-go, with a canned political response.
An activist found his microphone, and possibly a new career.

This father obviously loved his son ... he’s in my prayers. I originally thought it was the father of the killer blaming the NRA... but it wasn’t. It was a good man who loved his son... let’s just give him a pass and pray for God to lift some of the pain he’s in... Our fight is NOT with him.

Richard Martinez should be held accountable for his son's crimes.
It's what happens when LIBERALS raise children.
Their values drive their children crazy.
