Again, goes back to what was talked about earlier. We're not the only nation that is secular.
Small countries, like those in EU are having problems b/c they are no longer homogeneous populations. Not saying it's good or bad but there are now competing cultures.
Japan, low murder rate but culture shuns outsiders, promotes conformity.
We've never been a secular or homogeneous nation. We've always respected rule of law and rights of citizens. No nation is perfect but we are the first democratic republic.
Our morals, traditions are under attack. The left finds no value in morality that limits their own selfish desires. From making Catholic nuns pay for birth-control and abortions to demanding men who won't date transsexuals are somehow bigoted.
Politicians have spent the last decade pitting groups of people against each other in the name of tolerance. Universities have gone from encouraging independent thought and action to enforcing victim culture.
It's very simple, usually 2 components. Mental illness + easy access to guns.
Wrong. Terrorist in Boston didn't use guns. La, etc. Private guns are all but banned in EU, hasn't stopped attacks. Just different weapons.
Simply go thru the different mass shootings and hold up those 2 components to each one.
Mental illness - Mentally ok people don't do mass shootings, only 2 results for that person. Death or prison.
Not sure how to do this without breaking constitutional rights. Terrorist commit mass murder for political reasons.
Easy access to guns. Anybody dispute that? Take this recent case. Too young to buy a beer. Too young to buy a handgun. Could buy an AR-15. This one is a simple fix, bump the age to 21. If that was in place, maybe this shooting would not have happened. It seems like this is one we might actually all/most agree on? It you have to be 21 to buy a handgun, it should be 21 to buy something like an AR.
I would support expanding hand-gun purchase requirements to all semi-automatic weapons.
San Bernadino, Florida, Army recruiting center.. Taking guns won't solve the problem. Didn't work in the UK or anywhere in EU.
Boston bomber didn't need guns to kill people.
