BUT, the difficulty that is found in the US NOT _caused_ by guns! The
incorrect use of firearms is simply a *symptom* of the real problems. If
you take away the guns, they will use knives. If you take away the
knives, they will use broken bottles. You can't fill a bathtub with water
constantly flowing out the drain.
The PROBLEM, which needs to be fixed, comes from a number of factors:
(1) The breakdown of the family unit.
Daycare, divorce, and children being born out of wedlock cause this.
Daycare takes the child away from it's parents, causing serious emotional
damage. Divorce ruins the child's life, and often the parents are so
childish as to use the child as a pawn in their own personal dispute.
Being born out of wedlock has similar effects as divorce, in that the
child NEEDS a mother and a father. Households where the parents both work
also cause these problems. These difficulties create children that are
complete nutcases and don't care a wit about what happens.
(2) Public and high school
A child culture has been allowed to develop in school, this culture
attacks those that are different. Often, because of problem #1, above,
these children are also unable to obtain ANY help with it from their
parents. This constant, unrelenting torture builds up until the child
cracks - these two problems are responsible for the Columbine shooting and
numerous other school-yard shootings. These constant attacks also cause
severe emotional damage, so that by the time these children are grown up,
they view themselves as totally worthless, so who cares what happens to
them?
(3) Public and high school NO LONGER EDUCATE
Children no longer learn anything in public and high school beyond about
grade 4. Public and high school are a complete and total waste of money,
time and resources. In this day and age, jobs require more and more
intelligence, and these children are getting less and less intelligent.
This makes it almost impossible for them to find jobs, adding to the
feeling of desperation, hopelessness and worthlessness that leads the to
commition of crimes. Children, by their very nature, are born with a
strong love of learning - school kills that and makes them stupid by
stunting their intellectual and emotional growth.
I hope everyone finds this little treatise illuminating.
