Is It The Gun Availability?
What's behind the recent spate of mass killings? Some blame the easy availability of guns. That's silly. If guns were not available, they'd use swords; or knives; or baseball bats; or anything else that would kill. The availability of the means to kill has nothing to do with the motivation to kill. What's behind these mass killings is the "shielding" of our children from failure, which does not allow them to learn how to deal with failure and they blame others for it. The urge to kill those they blame is not far away. Liberal gun-haters are already pushing for more useless anti-gun laws that do nothing but make it easier for such people to kill because there are no guns present except theirs (Every one of these shootings has taken place where guns are prohibited). If some responsible person (say, a teacher) had been armed during most of these mass killings, the death toll would have been lower. (Ray Thomas 101)
