In fact lets go the whole hog and teach the Under Fives how to use a Bradley, five to Eight year olds how to use an Abrams, and over Eights Apaches!
That's the problem. We do teach kids this shit. Via music and TV. A constant steady stream of desensitizing murder, violence, and mayhem. Track the rise of modern media from the 70's onwards and I'll show you a corresponding rise in murder rate. Show me where "Gansta Rap" became mainstream and popular and I'll show you a nice spike in murder. Show when the shooter games came into being and the possibility for every kid to go on line and murder 1000's in the quaint comfort of their own home and then lets take a look at the dawn of the school shootings.
In West Germany (at that time) They had a law that nobody under 18 could play a video game. I got kicked out of an arcade. Somebody thought that perhaps kids who really don't understand the first thing about how a human could kill another human, would be better off tackling that subject as an adult.
I think the one thing that people do not understand about the US today is that it absolutely seethes with violent propaganda. Why does a 5 year old know the definition of "lock and load"? You can't keep the kids away from this shit unless you absolutely keep him or her at home...school them yourself. And then you will get allot of flack from the government if you do it.
The fact is the US government is screwing around with this in a big way. I would not be surprised if the guns used in the recent shooting were at some point bought and paid for with tax money by a government agency. Look up Operation Fast and Furious and Operation Wide Receiver. All is not well and all is not what it seems.
You mentioned Civil War Angle. I think many common sense citizens are trying to avoid that one, most of them responsible gun owners. Nobody wants it from that side of things. But somebody keeps on pushing. And while anyone who questions the answers is called "A conspiracy theorist"; which is News Speak for "crazy". Facts still remain facts. The US always had guns. Hell, it used to have a higher proportion of the population armed. And where guns are absolutely outlawed in the US, they have the highest crime rates. New York City and Chicago. There is no correlation whatsoever. Then you go to Texas where there are many many more guns and crime rates are much lower. Absolutely no correlation to the proposal that guns are the actual problem. It's like treating PTSD with a 12 step program ala AA.
You may be angry to hear about it Angle, but I'm angry for an entirely different reason. I'm angry that I've lost my country to a bunch of self serving f*cks who drove us into bankruptcy and now want to get on with the general population slaughtering each other. I'm angry that as a US citizen and still proud to be so, that I have to listen to an endless stream of sickening spew on how bad America is and how we are all gun toting maniacs. I'm angry that there are now many more places on this earth that I cannot show my face for the simple fact that I am a US citizen. Do you know what happens with common US citizens in other countries? We don't talk to each other. We don't trust each other. If we do talk to each other we go through a series of test questions to figure out which side you are on. It was not always like that. But since 2001 it has been. You have to think about the very deep social and economic events in the country that creates a general mistrust between its countrymen. And it has absolutely nothing to do with guns.
There are two sides. The people who want more government baby sitting, handouts and free Obama phones and those that would rather have no government involvement at all. Civil War? yeah perhaps it's coming. But it won't be about guns. It will be about slavery....again. Only this is of a bit different nature. Slaves to the banks and slaves to a few select corporations who have bought the government part and parcel. Same shit in other "aligned" countries, believe it or not.
Also, it is not a good thing to listen to main stream media at all. It is obviously designed to play on the emotions of the public.....shape public opinion. In 1984 it was called "The hour of hate". Yes, lets all hate the NRA. WTF? That guy is not speaking for the NRA. He's just an asshole stirring shit. I wouldn't be surprised if the US Government is now sponsoring the NRA to make it look like a bunch of gun toting idiots. f*cking shameless. And nobody says a word.
Now let me kick this f*cking soap box into the wall and go get a drink. Damn!!!
