The problem is not just the NRA or House Republicans

1. I'll catch rage for saying this, but it's parenting. This is how this crap is taught and passed down

It's not obvious to most people. It just looks like someone with a gun. But the mentality is the part that is invisible.

Look, I have shotguns. But they're for fun. For shooting clay. I ride my bike past a shooting range every day, and most people there are like zombies. You know the look- see Michelle Bachmann crazy eyes. But there are also shooters in this community who are not that way. I ride my bike by, and they stop until I'm gone. The others, they just blast away. And they leave their trash when they leave, like George Bush.

It all seems pretty easy to me. Get a healthy and educated society, and people will grow and learn. It's better to fix the problem than to deal with the symptoms. The symptoms are violence, alcoholism, depression... And it takes more than just economic equality and education. It takes being raised in an emotionally nurturing atmosphere, something very very few people have ever experienced.

I'm kind of wasting my time, because this solution takes a generation or more. And it's pretty hard to do until a society has enough good thing in it that people can relax, and raise their kids without the horrible situations in which we find ourselves today.

Man, Reagan, Bush, and the conservatives have really made it so we're in self-destruct mode. It keeps them in power.
