If a shooter has a gun, then lax gun control, which is associated with the right at the moment, has a part to play.

If a shooter doesn't have a gun, then they play something like basketball, and you can't tell if the left or the right is responsible. But they're probably tall, and likely to have ancestry from South Sudan or Rwanda compared to random. So they're likely to lean dem, since that is the default for anyone not white, male, and mediocre IQ, nor has a tendency to buy in to wild conspiracy theories.

Yep - and one can contrast:

NRA heavily funding GOP politicians to deregulate gun sales and the hundreds of mass school shootings in the US (and the general interest of the GOP to destroy good public grade school education in the US)

vs

Basic regulations and the lack of gun-related deaths in other high income countries (14:1 in most cases):
