Already agreed on that.
Guns are not the problem it is the people who have changed over the decades the problem we live in a nation badly divided with a lot of organized gangs and drug culture swiring around in the background and suffer from stupid partisan politics.
Before 1993 there were ZERO school shootings anywhere, yet we have a lot of guns and many states had been allowing Gun Carry for up to 10 years.
More Gun control isn't the answer it is how people live and handle stress that needs to be addressed.
Kind of hard to do at this point. When I was a kid acting up in the store your parent(s) swatted you in the ass in front of other people. Teachers used to take a board and beat your ass with it in front of class. If you cried from the pain, the other kids would make fun of you for the rest of the school year or longer, When you did something wrong at home, you were grounded.
We don't do these kinds of things anymore. We are raising eggshells instead of human beings. They are shielded from normal emotions like shame and disgrace. We don't hit children any longer, we tell them they are wrong. We don't ground kids anymore, we put them in time out. Teachers are not allowed to lay a hand on any child today regardless what they did wrong. What teachers did to us as kids in our local school would be nationwide news today, and probably resulting in a multi-thousand dollar lawsuit. Bullying (which as been going on in every generation of children) is now a national discussion as if it was something new.
So we shield our children from emotions like embarrassment, humiliation and defeat, then take God out of society at the same time, and we can't figure out why people flip out over the stupidest things enough to kill other human beings?
