Today was a one of the darkest days in American history; a young man ended the dreams of 20 innocent children, 5 good educators & his own mother. The liberal media is always there to quickly find the culprit that is convenient; in this case it was weapons in this country. The truth is we as a people don't take personal responsibility for our actions anymore. The facts will come out soon enough about this man & why he chose to alter our lives forever. The truth of the matter is our society has been morally crumbling for centuries. When I was a child in the 4th grade at Grassland Elementary, we did something stupid & were sent to the Principal's office for corporal punishment(paddling). We never did it again. I made a big mistake when I was about 13 & my father took his belt to me saying" I promise you this will hurt you worse than me". I never did it again. I was terrified of my parents & they were good to me. I learned respect, fear & personal responsibility for my actions. I still make mistakes on a daily basis but I learned personal responsibility. Today our children are diagnosed with some disorder early, medicated, neglected & put in front of a video game that promotes violence. As a child I was told to look both ways before I crossed the street, play in the creek & when Mom rang the bell, I better come home pronto. We never questioned or spoke back to our parents, it was the law. Today, children talk to their parents as if they are equals & why not parents are helpless because of laws to protect children from the very people who have the biological right to make them fear God, country & the back of their hand. With the divorce rate close to 60% in this country; one of our biggest problems in this country is single parent households. One parent must work 1 or more jobs & the children are left home alone to watch violent television or surf the Internet. What kind of future can a child have if this is his reality. In the same show you will see drug use, adultery & cold blooded murder. The sickest part is the parents don't monitor their children's programs. They have given up. I have never wanted children but if I were a Dad, I would put the fear of God in them. It makes them be better people down the road. The bottom line I believe is that our children have no hope for their future, They see it in our eyes & our apathy towards this fast approaching reality. We are quickly descending into a morally corrupt & apathetic society. The bottom line is we have given up on our children & they are lashing back at us as a society with guns instead of pens or signs. It could be knives, grenades or rocks; we have let society dictate how we raise our children & we are responsible for what happens. Shame on all of us. We know better. We were raised better. Don't blame guns, blame ourselves & our government for telling us how to raise our children.
May God have mercy on our souls.
Rip Pewett a man who owns zero guns
p.s. the picture is of a man who distributes wealth at the speed of sound, never has held a job & would give all of our guns to Russia if he could
