People don't appreciate having spurious claims attached to their legitimate claims, even in jest. It invokes the idea that since the previous targets of blame were false that these likely are as well.

They're all external factors. Music and videogames have been (wrongly, imo) blamed in the past. Media, especially nowadays, is probably more "blameable" than music and games, but i still think it's bs to use external factors as an excuse to justify mass shootings.
