The number of school shootings is increasing dramatically, and a popular liberal solution is to reduce the guns in our society.

Guns are not the problem! Guns are nothing more than a piece of metal and gunpowder! One must ask one's self: What do all these school shootings have in common? The answer — the school system, the places students are forced to go day after day. What is causing such a destructive anger in these students? Certainly, the student wasn't born with such a destruction and anger. And certainly, guns don't the cause anger and the total destruction of a child's soul.

I am not God, and I will not pretend to have the total solution; rather, I will just comment on my observations. In most families, both parents are working 40 hours a week and have no more energy to love their children. Instead of getting a parent's love, the child is forced to stay in day care and get the bare attention just so the child does not get into any trouble. Is it any wonder why so many children kill their parents?

Certainly, you cannot expect a child who was never loved by his parents to love his parents! Children who are loud and can't stand still in school are not loved and comforted by their teachers, but rather they are given drugs like Ritalin to make them into zombies and drugged out children so they behave. Why do we use drugs instead of love when it comes to our children? Do we challenge our children to think on their own? Are children asked to question everything they are taught, or are they simply told to believe it and accept it?

A society that thinks and lives on its own doesn't need government intervention. Perhaps in these ideas the answer to our children's anger and rage may lie.
