More importantly - we could also try to fix the division and culture issues that stirs up the violence, but for separate reasons, no-one wants to do that either. Interestingly we'd rather make people impotent than good.
- taserian 3y agoWho gets to define "good"?
- brink 3y agoSince the general public doesn't seem to be interested in God anymore, we can start with the data and go from there. For example - fatherlessness creates more violent individuals and the data proves it, let's fix that.
- Volundr 3y agoHonestly I'll take any action. Is it a mental health issue? Let's take action to address those issues. Parenting? Figure out how to improve parent involvement, resources, etc. "division and culture issues that stirs up the violence"? Great how do we DO something about that. Too often these "it's not the guns it's X", then use that as an excuse to do nothing rather than focus on solving X. I tend to side with the folks pushing for gun restrictions more because they are actually pushing to try something rather than doing nothing.
