The
tragedy at Sandy Hook School has everyone looking for something easy to
blame and a simple way to prevent future such incidents from occurring.
Much of the focus has been on the tools used by the criminal in this
tragedy and possibly banning them from society. The real answer is easy
if we just look back.
We have had quick loading, rapid firing, easy to handle weapons since the 1870's.
Machine
guns could be bought at hardware stores in the 1920's and one could
order military rifles through the mail up until the late 1960's. During
all this time these type of public shootings were unheard of. In fact
these types of crimes are a product of just the last thirty years, so
what has changed in our society in these 30 years?
State
sponsored infanticide, loss of prayer in schools, lack of corporal
punishment in schools and lenient liberal judges that let criminals go
free with just a slap on the wrist, especially the young. Add
to this the excessive violence on TV and in the movies and in some
music along with violent video games that create a numbness to murder
and mayhem. The lack of personal responsibility promoted by our
government by not having to work for your living, single parents, loose
women, men not taking responsibility for their children, and the latch
key lifestyle and you have created ticking time bombs looking for a
place to explode. All of this and more in just the last thirty years!
History is clear, it is liberalism not guns, that is the problem.

Excellent observation, near perfect. The question is, who let them get away with it? There weren't nearly enough of those of us that see it now to stop it then. How do we turn this crap around?
ReplyDeleteWe've got to get the Tea Party back in gear which it seems the anti-gun push is doing.
