Comment Its IS America...and guns especially (Score 1) 563
So we're going to turn teachers into police, and schools into a shooting range?? Lovely. Your comments show exactly what the problem is!! It's not only guns, but GUN CULTURE.
Guns are so ingrained into american culture. Everyone's seen one, shot one, owned one. This is a culture that allows and encourages people to shoot each other. People are paranoid that someone else might take them out so everyone's gotta carry a piece to "defend" themselves. Then it comes down to shoot first, ask questions later. Every act of violence in the name of defense is seen as "justified". The society enables people to kill, and because of that, people do.
Where else in the industrialized world do regular people sit around to talk about and compare their weapons? Guns shouldn't be such a normal part of life.
It's terrible. This isn't the way people are supposed to live. America need more than just banning guns, it needs to seriously rethink its values.
