A 10 year old child, walking home from an Atlantic City school, was hit in the foot by a ricocheted bullet the other day. Some cities hold marches to stop the violence. These marches stopped working years ago because we stopped parenting years ago. The Million Mom March held after Columbine High School massacre was not backed up by substance.
The march was against gun violence via gun ownership. Gun ownership does not translate into violence....but a violent person with access to guns does. A troubled heart with access to anything can turn any tool into a weapon. Hands beat, rape, strangle, and ultimately pull the trigger of a gun...should we cut off hands for preventive measures? Just as removing the body part of a rapist does not solve the problem of rape, new gun laws will not solve the problems we face with gun violence.
