Progressives Leave Those Guns Alone

Professor David Clyde

Lately it seems the vogue thing in life to do is, blame the guns. It's easy enough, they don't talk back and can't think for themselves. Wait a minute, that's the exact reason we shouldn't blame guns, for school shootings or any other act of terror done by a person, not in the right frame of mind.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." - Ben Franklin 

Blaming the guns  is an over simplified knee jerk reaction. The real issue is how did we as a country transform to a culture of violence. There are many correlations that have to be examined the first is the effect of psychotic administered to our youth also the over diagnose of ADHD and depression in our kids.

Today's practices of the parent placing their child on a pedestal and the child having no respect for said parent or authority figures simply does not work.  Kids today can not even defend themselves from bullying. The effect of HD violent video games with graphics that are extremely detailed. The glorifying of violence and death by Hollywood producers like Quentin Tarantino who want to ban guns but make millions of dollars selling violence is a surreal way-add  this Gangsta Rap which boast about gang banging what all this does is desensitization our youth. Another huge issue is the fatherless or motherless child with no family structure or values in the urban environment these are huge indicators of a violence, poverty and incarceration. Israel did a study where there a was correlation between a strong family structure and non violent history of the family members. In Switzerland the citizens join the Militia between 20 and 30 years of age and take home their firearms and ammo and they have one of the lowest murder rates in the world so why are we snapping and the Swiss are not?

The issue here is why is the progressive left not addressing the issue and going for the gun grab? In Detroit strict gun laws police response time is well over 30 minutes to the point where the Chief of Police is pushing for gun rights. Look at history, Hitler disarmed the Jews, Joseph Stalin disarmed. Pol Pot disarmed and the result,  millions of law abiding citizens were killed by there own government.

Countries with Gun Bans like England have a higher victor assault and rape rate than the United States. Police who interview violent criminals claim the criminals themselves claim guns are a deterrent when selecting a victim.

What people should be saying is why we being socially engineered in give up our guns and Constitution?
