Hey Op getting deeper in to these thoughts,
What can we do?
Well if "The right to bear Arms" is the second Amendment of the Constitutions. Why do we not treat it as such, the first one gets SO much attention about freedom of speech am I right?
Why not discuss the right to bear arms more openly and educate from the ground up. Yes its seems silly to teach our children of weapons at such an early age....that seems so out of the ordinary right? NO its how our culture has become and forced it out the realities.
If we educated our children from the get go,
1) They would understand weapons safety at a much earlier age, Curiosity then would be managed as they would know what it is and how dangerous it really is.
2) Proper understanding and action of what to do when a weapon is present. Safe handling, turning it over to the authorities/responsible adult.
3) Laws and consequences, state by state. Let the children know of actions taken to protect them and others.
4) Implication of usage. What the heck it really does..... the honest cut and dry version.... Death.... no sugarcoating..... how do you teach a child that something is bad? You strike fear in them (sarcasm) but many of us know we respected our parents because of fear of spanking...... unfortunately its now taking away Iphones and computers.... bunch of !@#$%$%
5) Our society has got some major "image" issues. We need proper guidance, proper outreach and proper channels to lead our children in the right direction. More counselors, more outreach, helping hands and community projects to bring people together rather than separate them.
6) Role Models, Using proper role models, and bring them up...... Kapernick a role model...negative....doing it in the wrong way........
Anyways another rant about things we can do.....
Magic post, well said.
We teach kids about road safety..... not to play with fire and matches..... that hot things burn.... that sticking your fingers in electrical outlets is not a great idea.... that power tools can and will bite if not used correctly.... yet gun control insists we keep everyone in the dark and instead waste money on chasing guns instead of criminals.
