I could have told you that. The demonization of guns by the media, the feminization of young males by the schools. The "anti bullying" campaign by the schools and media are having the desired effect. One, at the most, two generations from now 99% of the population will be zombies and robots depending upon the Government to wipe their asses. They will be totally unable to defend themselves, provide for themselves. And last but not least, unable to think for themselves. The more civilized and educated we become, the less able to care for ourselves we become.
Don't believe it? Compare the sissies, the metrosexuals, the feminized males of today to the men, including Hollywood actors of the 1040s and the 1950s.
All the Government has to do is wait.
Certainly depends on the type of education. When one’s “book knowledge” consists of spurious indoctrination and pseudoscience, then society reaches a dead end. Never mind including hedonism and sloth among one’s activities.
