No laws or bans can fix this problem that afflicts our society. Bombs, guns, it doesnt matter. As RFK said, it cannot be fixed with programs or simple legislation. It must be changed by a righteous movement among all of us. It will take a changing of our whole attitude, of our parenting, of our educating, and of our treatment and mentality towards one another to reduce or stop the mindless menace of violence that has its grip on us now.

"Too often we honor swagger and bluster and wielders of force; too often we excuse those who are willing to build their own lives on the shattered dreams of others"

There will be some who will hate this and they make all sorts of accusations because you have angered them, pay them no mind, they were either born without a heart, or they want you be ashamed for telling people the truth. They are the nit pickers of the world, it's easier for them to deny history, than it is for them to face it. There were many in Germany after the war who are like some here today who would shout "shame on you" for making us look so bad.
