excellent dialogue
Well worth the listen!
So many times I find myself struggling to defend our "gun culture" and this guy just nailed it! A gun is a tool. Everyone is so busy looking for that silver bullet that will fix society and the focus keeps getting put on guns.
Our society is now full of single parent homes, and social media has major impact on all of our lives.
Fact is, our kids idolize video game characters, and television heros, where they reap rewards for killing the other guy. In their world, problems are being solved with a gun, and the parents are happy to have a game screen to babysit their kids. We now live in a world where both parents need to work to make ends meet, or just sometimes to get ahead a bit, and the result has been parents out of touch with their kids. It is truly unfortunate that the teachers of today are now doing more than just shaping our kid's minds, they are ultimately parenting them because they dont get that critical interaction at home.
Sad times, and they cant be cured by eliminating guns from the picture. The gun has just become a popular scape-goat for society.
