Gentleman,
The anti-gun crowd will be forming soon enough. I know that we all feel the same on this issue. What I don't understand, is why the powers that be are not asking why people are turning into psycho killers. Why they feel that the only solution to their problems, real or imagined is to shoot up their school or work place?
I have read and heard that this was partially over a girl. What gets into their heads? That is the question.
Don't blame guns. Blame the person. But then, we have to start to take a serious look at these:
The media, with their 24/7 up to the minute saturation of these tragedies.
Violent video games, where when you die, you just hit the reset button and start over. There is even one out now called "Super Columbine Massacre RPG".
Disgusting rap music and videos which glorify thug life, hatred of police, degradation of women, and gun violence.
Hollywood, which glorifies all of the above.
Instead of raising kids, and teaching them right and wrong, medicate them and blame it on some deficit disorder.
We have become a country insensitive to violence. 150 killed in Iraq? No problem, just change the channel to "Antiques Roadshow".
Sorry for the vent, but this is just another tragic incident, and even worse, probably not the last. We really need to look at what I mentioned before they pass yet another useless gun control law that will only pertain to law abiding citizens, and do nothing to stop these events from happening again.
Tell your kids and grandkids that you love them.
Kind regards,
