Excellent....
Never in history has a gun ever been charged, arrested or tried for murder...
Exactly throwing God out of school has lead to the moral decline in this country.
Exactly what the liberals and communists want.
....With greater accessibility to guns in the past, why wasn’t there the kind of violence we see today, when there is much more restricted access to guns?....
The widespread “diagnosis” and prescription of drugs for “ADHD”!!!! (That’s a good part of the problem, anyway, IMHO!)
Walter Williams is one of the best.
I was surprised to learn how old he is. He will be missed.
...What’s the difference between yesteryear and today?...
With the exception of Columbine and domestic related shootings at schools, Millennials are the perpetrators and solely responsible for mass school shootings.
That’s the difference. And the oldest of them will be eligible age wise to run for President in 2020.
when in high school several members of the student body had rifles in window racks in the back of their truck. Once we were pulled by a local cop who just wanted to look at the rifle. Had about a 1/2 hour discussion on the merits of that particular piece.
“What’s the difference between yesteryear and today? “
SSRI drugs with suicide/homicidal tendencies as a side effect.
High school gun club, 1941.
I knew women in the past were actually tougher than the wusses today, despite their oft-pushed stereotypes.
A friend of mine and me were cutting 6&7th hours study halls to bird hunt my junior year. 2 shotguns in the car we took to school. Then deer season opened and shotguns went back in the closet. Deer rifles came out. The principal caught us leaving school. Said don’t let our grades drop and don’t open the car trunk at school. Then asked how the hunting was going. It was 1969. Our parents both of them in each of our lives knew where we were at. Wish kids still had those times.
It is a good article. People changed, that’s for sure. The family broke down. Some blame the fact that it’s easier to get a divorce. I don’t think that’s all of it. We are a society literally programmed by television and the internet. Liberals reach us through those mediums like never before. Militant feminism has to be mentioned as well in the breakdown of the nuclear family.
Liberals don’t hate guns, they hate gun owners. They despise anyone who disagrees. They really want to ban US!
Truth can be painful to dictating tyrants.
Same here. Went to high school in the 60’s in a rural community. During bird season nearly every farm kid had a shotgun in their car. It was a big deal if someone got a new gun. We’d all rush out to the parking lot to have a look see. Never ever thought about settling an argument with a gun. Fists or insults were the weapons of the day.
Bookmarked.
In 1993 my son’s teacher tried to convince us that Ritalin was heaven sent, and would “fix” his problem. The problem was, he was acting like an eight year-old boy. Just to be sure, we had a clinical evaluation done. In very professional language, the good doctor wrote a letter telling the teacher to go pound sand.
Very Good, but just more White Privilege being exerted by the good Doctor, because everyone knows GUNS kill Black People and Minorities at a far greater rate than whites.
My annual, class of 65 has a photo of the Sportsman’s Club.
They are all holding rifles or shotguns along with their class sponger.
Maybe the prettiest girls in school got a Browning Sweet 16 shotgun for her 16th birthday.
Farm girls could shoot, fish and cook. The guys back then bucked hay, cultivated, and took care of work on the farm. When you worked in the hay fields, they brought you in at noon. While you ate lunch you checked out the farmers daughter. By the time you were done that night you were barely able to tell her goodby. Wasn’t a bad time to grow up.
