    The following is a comment I left for another observer of a post about another school shooting, in which the respondent said there was nothing wrong with American gun laws and that what America needs is “mental laws”.

    I’m sorry to say this – brother – but you’re the problem. Why haven’t you come to realize that the human animal shouldn’t have a device which allows it to kill from a distance — especially in America? / The only people who need this skill are soldiers in the military or police officers… Another group might be farmers, who live on the frontier and have to protect against invasion of their livestock by bear or other wild animals. 

    No one living in a residential or city community should have a ballistic weapon. If it’s a hobby, they should be locked in a box and acquired by key, and every owner should have had to have undergone psychoanalysis and acquisition of a license.

    We live in an age where young people are seeing the unraveling of our society, the unraveling of our environment, the unraveling of  home purchasing and the shrinking of the job market and the increase in AI taking jobs. Wars are a constant background feature – and with the Internet, young people see everything that’s happening in the world up close — in a way that I didn’t when I was young — including the destruction of the environment that once guaranteed their future — so anxiety is at an all-time high. 

    I mentioned all this to point out that not only will there always be mental illness and insanity in society – something that the smart countries have realized, and so have banned guns – but to indicate that America is a much less socially and politically stable place, so guns in this location is a very unintelligent feature. 

    One child being killed by another, should’ve been enough for every American to say no to guns in the public domain – so I submit that people like you, while perhaps well-meaning, need a much deeper education and a lot of time to reflect on how you would feel if this were your children. Why? Because you’re not coming to the right conclusions — and people keep dying – which makes you culpable as a voter and an irresponsible citizen.  

    When will enough be enough, my brother – my fellow American? When will you come to the uncomfortable but necessary adult decision that to be a good citizen you have to change your mind about this?
