A Much Bigger Problem than Gun Control

Despite the title, this is not a blog that is either pro or con on gun control. My position on the issue is irrelevant. This video reveals a MUCH bigger problem at the escalation of the shootings, stabbings, fights and overall violence in our culture.

When children are allowed to do these things to other students . . .
When other students do not step up to protect the weak and the vulnerable . . .
When parents and other adults stand by and do nothing . . .
When adults in a public space are more concerned about what others will think than the safety and security of a child . . .
When adults are more concerned about a “bullied” hamburger than a bullied child . . .
When adults are this gutless and irresponsible with regard to adult responsibilities in a public place . . .

No amount of legislation about guns is going to cure the disease at the core of American society. Guns have been present in America homes for a long, long time. It is a phenomenon unique to our nation in many ways. I’m not advocating or judging. I’m simply stating a fact. So why is there a sudden uptick in the incidence of gun violence in our schools over the last two decades? Look no further than this video for a key ingredient to your answer.

Update: I have replace the earlier video because the link had been corrupted. Unfortunately, it is too easy to find another video that illustrates the problem. The second video below is so violent, it was hard to watch without cringing with sympathy for the young 9 year old girl victim. I had to go outside and pray for the her recovery from the trauma. We need a heart change in America.
