[QUOTE="Giga Hertz, post: 44958, member: 306"] "You cannot have a mass shooting, or any other kind of shooting for that matter, without guns. It is the one and only thing all shootings have in common." A now-more-left-leaning Christian friend of mine on Facebook posted this. I decided not to engage because I don't have the energy. And she has kids, so I get why she'd feel hit hard by it. But the only thing real thing they have in common is some messed up people have some really bad heart problems. I think of POD's Youth of the Nation (after Santana School shooting) where they pretty much address the actual issue: there are kids hurting, suffering because they're not being raised or treated properly. There would be so far less of this if people actually reached out to hurting kids, if there weren't so many broken families. [MEDIA=youtube]EDKwCvD56kw[/MEDIA] And I can understand wanting to be upset at the weapon that did it. Especially when it's a powerful scary weapon. But the fact is it's all just a tool and symptom of the actual problem that continues to go unaddressed. [/QUOTE]
