In the case of Loughner, it's pretty clear what happened. There was a severe case of non parental supervisiion in this kids upbringing. The police found all kinds of clues in the family garage that the parents "had no idea their son was up to". He was a very troubled kid and many things in his high school pointed to it. The parents refused to accept any responsibility for his actions in school and it continued frm there. If the parents had been involved and paid attention, none of that incident would have ever happened. Loughner had even written hate mail to congresswoman Giffords before and nothing was done. Tha scary part is he was still able to get weapons and buy ammo from a local Walmart. Typical for Arizona is getting a gun with little or no questions asked.
