The Problem goes much Deeper than Guns

I see an example of "feel good legislation" being thrust upon a concerned, yet naive public. We are all know the Gun Free School Zone Act of 1994 - by then, Senator Biden - is the deciding factor here. Whether a crazed, evil young male (in the Uvalde case) is not the issue. Crazies will steal guns, use another method, etc. But knowing no one in schools is armed gives him a cloak of safety.

As the left attacked religion and family structure by removing God and prayer from schools, increased the number of males living in "single parent households," meaning "no father present" (credit the welfare departments, Me-too movements and so forth).

No, the problem is obviously not guns. "Something is rotten in Denmark," as the old saying goes. It is, indeed, rotten when disturbed young males feel safe to enter a gun free zone to kill. Schools must pinpoint these males when younger - in elementary grades - and evaluate, diagnose and prescribe the special education services and social/emotional support required.

Only then will we put a stop to school massacres like Sandy Hook, Parkland, now Texas.
