Perhaps most striking, was Richard Martinez, whose son, Chris, was shot and killed by Rodger. Martinez skewered politicians for failing to pass stricter gun laws after Newtown. “Have we learned nothing? These things are going to continue until somebody does something,” he told CNN. “So where the hell is the leadership?” he asked, blaming his son’s death on “irresponsible politicians” and powerful gun lobby groups like the National Rifle Association. Polls have continually shown that most Americans support stricter gun-control measures. A UMass Lowell survey released earlier this month even found that 78% of Americans are in favor of more thorough background checks and psychological analysis for people purchasing firearms.
