Every " solution" the anti-gunners come up with will affect ALL gun owners - the majority of which are law abiding - and not the problem in the first place.
Then they act surprised and indignant when the pro- gun side digs in it's heels and prevents the anti's solution.
Want to fix this shit?
Go after the problem children. The assholes who do this shit, shooting places up.
The pro- gun people WILL get behind that..
Or keep trying the same old shit - and nothing will change.
Okay, I half a agree. I believe it's just as important, if not more important, to restrict who can own a gun. I'm of the inclination that outside of museum pieces, weapons designed for the modern battlefield should not be in the hands of people who do not work for the military. In addition to what I said previously in this topic, I also believe that it's important to end the failed war on drugs.
I also believe there is a distinct lack of good male role models for children growing up. In addition to the more obvious demographic of children raised in single parent households, another issue I've seen mentioned is that there are not enough men who want to go into jobs which require a high degree of emotional intelligence. Women out-number men as school teachers (especially in elementary years, at least in my own country) and as nursery nurses, for example. Additionally, who ever heard of a male au pair or babysitter? I'm sure there are some out there, are exceptions and exceptional people everywhere.
We need to get more men into our schools to be good role models for children. Another hyper-focus of some people seems to be single parent households and whilst a lack of a father (in some cases mother) figure can cause problems, it is important to have male role models in the education system too. It's good that we have Women in Engineering Day, so how about a "Men In Jobs That Require a High Degree of Emotional Intelligence Day"? The coal jobs aren't coming back so maybe we can re-train the miners to be nurses, teachers and carers?
