Students shot in School shooting

These mass school shootings really started in the 1990's, that may be a point to look at. If one compares the history of school shooting back to the 1700's, we can see we're in different times. What changed?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._United_States

The rise of the internet age.

A violent entertainment industry, no clear line between the good guy and the bad guy.

Youth being placed on mind altering prescibed meds increased several thousand percent.

Possibly lack of belief, although I don't want God in school, seems this left a moral vacuum. I know growing up, we always felt an eye in the sky was watching us.

Youth with an entitled mindset, everyone gets an award, no one gets picked on.....If I don't get what I want, I can blame others.

The generation that taught parents to become friends with their children instead of parents.

Anyway, somehow we've created the perfect storm and it will continue, it's the in thing today to get back at the world. No amount of gun control is gonna resolve it, it's all about protecting our kids in every way possible. Imagine the debate when a kid shoots up a school with a fully auto illegal weapon smuggled across the Mexican border...will the Dems want to close the border down, I doubt it. The fact is they want to attack legal weapons because the gun lobby supports the GOP.

Now if you apologize like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it. Last edited by Armistead; 01-31-13 at 10:19 PM.
