Well said
For a man that doesn't post often, he does a good job when he post.
Some folks think school shootings are a new thing. They really are not. School shootings are recorded back to the 1800's. The difference was, it was one kid taking their dads gun and shooting one person they were angry with. Some folks think it is the introduction of the AR15 that is the problem. While it may be the weapon of choice for some shooters, it is far from the only gun used in mass shootings. If one goes back through all recorded school shootings, many different types of guns are used, the most common and one of the most deadly being the pistol. So if it is not the AR-15 that is the problem, what could be the problem? Some folks think bullying is the problem. The problem with that is bullying has always been around. Yet kids have not always gone to school and shot ten or twenty people because they were bullied. The only thing left is the person doing the shooting. They are somehow different from the kids of the past. They somehow, for some reason, are more angry and have less respect for other human lives. What causes that, I'm not sure. Maybe video games play a part. Maybe the drugs we are feeding them play a part. They seem to. Or, maybe it has more to do with the changes in our society and the way kids are raised. We, as a society have done everything we can to remove God from schools, public buildings, Social events, businesses, and government itself. We have destroyed the concept of marriage and it's importance. We reduced the idea of morality to a ridiculous old-fashioned idea. The truth is whatever a person perceives it to be. There is no such thing as right and wrong or good and bad. There is only what you "feel" is ok. Maybe these creatures are nothing more than a byproduct of the decay of our society and value system. Maybe this is only the beginning of what is to come. Whatever it may be I'm pretty sure, no matter how hard we try, there is no one thing we can point to and say, "this is what caused it". I'm also pretty sure, we as a collective society are in a downhill slide and these monsters are nothing more than evidence of it.
