The Dayton killer was antifa, as anti-Trump as it gets.
I think it has more to do with our treatment of mental health and a big miscommunication between the right and left.
The conservative focus on gun freedom stems from rural areas where there are relatively few gun crimes and mass shootings, and where guns are enjoyed, revered, and sometimes necessary.
There is no good extension of this into urban areas, because there aren’t wolves, badgers, and rattlesnakes galavanting around Manhattan.
Edit: there’s also strong evidence that the amount of airtime we give these assholes plays into the next wannabe mass murderers inspiration - to your point about media

They know what they’re doing.
They’d have to blame themselves, and that’s not what conservative media is about.
It’s about patronizing aging, credulous boomers.
They can’t blame themselves for minting these Trump terrorists - so they do what they always do - blame the other.
The first tenet of modern conservatism is to point out the failings of personal responsibility in others - never themselves.
This is Fox, Trump, the conservative mediasphere and the NRA. Period.
