Why this violent behavior that causes heartache to all?
Have we forgotten that there are absolutes that are not being taught — good and evil, right and wrong. The family is essential, with mothers in the home when possible.
Religion and morality are not being taught. They have been replaced by immorality, violence, pornography and inhuman behavior on TV and the Internet and in games and movies.
Human life is cheapened, with millions of unborn babies killed every year (more than a billion since 1980.)
Any wonder this is the result? And we blame guns?
