Guns and Grief

School shootings are awful, evil and very traumatizing to all. No one is going to debate that. Yet there is such controversy over it when it happens. Everyone wants someone to blame. They want something concrete to be done to fix it NOW. The problem with that is the issue came on slowly and it will not be fixed quick. It's a cultural decay not an inanimate object that is the problem.
Guns are not the problem. The person who chooses evil is.  I've read several accounts of those remembering a few decades ago when kids had guns in their pick up truck or in there home and kids were not out shooting people. There was a level of respect for guns and also a respect for human life. Over time this respect has gone away, especially for human life. God was taken from the schools. Society has changed and the only way to find our way back to to reach out to God.
