CBS wants you to think it has to do with Parkland. They drop this right in the middle of their article
Since a mass shooting at a Florida high school killed 17 people in February, retailers including Dick's Sporting Goods have stopped selling assault-style rifles, while Citigroup in March said it would no longer do business with those who don't follow its new policies on selling firearms.

There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

BTW: Notice the wording "a mass shooting at a Florida high school killed 17" in the CBS quote?
It's always "killed by guns" or "gun violence" They almost always word it in such a way as to take the person responsible out of the equation. In this case "a mass shooting killed 17 people" when it should be "a mass shooter killed 17 people".
