THE ENDLESS VIOLENCE AND MASS SHOOTINGS

Fed up, and at their wit's end, folks keep asking: When is it all going to end?

Sad to say it is likely not going to end -- at least not any time soon

Brilliant writer Ayn Rand once stated so perceptively that a society's culture is an accurate barometer of the direction in which it is heading....or should we say [in our particular case], "the direction in which it is deteriorating". Ours has become a death and despair kind of "culture".

Listen to today's popular music and attendant lyrics; look at the nonstop diet of violent, sadistic films we are feeding our youngsters; notice the ubiquitous, brain-numbing computer games that deal in the triumph of scoring points for the most number of graphic "enemies" the player guns down; look at the number of increasing suicides among our depressed, wayward teens; observe how swarms of illegals are streaming across our open borders -- unvetted -- smuggling drugs to feed the growing addictions of young Americans; cringe with incredulous horror how we're teaching KINDERGARTNERS about the interchangeability of gender identification; and finally, contemplate the mounting number of broken homes and divorces all across the United States. We never saw anything so horrendous as this in the past. Slowly, but oh so surely, we are witnessing the downfall and dissolution of the greatest nation on earth.

YES! -- military weapons that kill quickly...efficiently, in massive numbers, should not be sold EVER to the general public...YES! -- everyone who purchases a gun should be required to undergo a strict background check.

But having said that, do NOT EVER make the mistake in assuming it is the gun that is responsible for these tragic murders. Confiscating our protective firearms and abrogating the 2nd Amendment -- and leaving men open to the tyranny of lawless predators and/or to the very government sworn to protect its citizens -- is most assuredly NOT the way to proceed. The criminals will ALWAYS find a way to circumvent the law and procure all the devastating weaponry they need to wreak havoc upon us.

Change the culture -- and, in doing so, you'll change the collective spiritual outlook of its people for the better.
