Guns is just the easy way out. Put the blame where it belongs: on the
society we live in today. As parents are we teaching out children the way
our parents taught us? Do you teach your children about guns? Do you spend
more than 5 minutes a day with your children? Are you letting someone or
something else teach your children. I am all for banning guns, just as soon
as we ban automobiles. They kill more people a year than guns so lets start
at the top.

>>How can we blame it all on guns? For the life of me, I can't understand
>>what could have gone wrong in Littleton, Colo. If only the parents had
>>kept their children away from the guns, we wouldn't have had such a
>>tragedy. Yeah, it must have been the guns.
>>
>>1. It couldn't have been because of half our children being raised in
>>broken homes.
>>
>>2. It couldn't have been because our children get to spend an average of
>>30 seconds in meaningful conversation with their parents each day.After
>>all, we give our children quality time.
>>
>>3. It couldn't have been because we treat our children as pets and our
>>pets as children.
>>
>>4. It couldn't have been because we place our children in day care
>>centers where they learn their socialization skills among their peers
>>under the law of the jungle while employees who have no vested interest
>>in the children look on and make sure than no blood is spilled.
>>
>>5. It couldn't have been because we allow our children to watch, on
>>average, seven hours of television a day filled with the glorification
>>of sex and violence that isn't fit for adult consumption.
>>
>>6. It couldn't have been because we allow our children to enter into
>>virtual worlds in which, to win the game, one must kill as many
>>opponents as possible in the most sadistic way possible.
>>
>>7. It couldn't have been because we have sterilized and contracepted our
>>families down to sizes so small that the children we do have are so
>>spoiled with material things that they come to equate the receiving of
>>the material with love.
>>
>> 8. It couldn't have been because our children, who historically have
>>been seen as a blessing from God, are now being viewed as either a
>>mistake created when contraception fails or inconveniences that parents
>>try to raise in their spare time.
>>
>> 9. It couldn't have been because our nation is the world leader in
>>developing a "culture of death" in which 20 million to 30 million babies
>>have been killed by abortion.
>>
>>10. It couldn't have been because we give two-year prison sentences to
>>teen-agers who kill their newborns.
>>
>>11. It couldn't have been because our school systems teach the children
>>that they are nothing but glorified apes who have evolutionized out of
>>some primordial soup of mud by teaching evolution as fact and by handing
>>out condoms as if they were candy.
>>
>>12. It couldn't have been because we teach our children that there are
>>no laws of morality that transcend us, that everything is relative and
>>that actions don't have consequences. What the heck, the president gets
>>away with it.
>>
>>Nah, it must have been the guns.
