Invoking \u201csickness of the mind\u201d sounds so terribly middle age-ish and ignorant. Plenty of not so bright people don\u2019t go on killing rampage like that.

That\u2019s the constant.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need gun laws because of those constant shootings and dead bodies, you need gun laws because it just makes sense to heavily regulate something that is designed to kill in a modern society. But that will not change the environment.<\/p>\n<p>I can see the cocktail: heavy religion mixed with bullying culture, heavy binary world where you\u2019re either good or bad, add some incomprehensible student debt and some of those kids reaching their 20s lose it. Boomers still don\u2019t get the massive shift we have been going through and I\u2019m not downplaying the effects on people starting their lives in this mess.<\/p>\n<p>Gun laws won\u2019t stop kids to feel desperate and angry, B. I think those shootings also make us numb because a lot of us know the huge task that is to redirect a culture that has always been very content with brutality and death.<\/p>\n<p>I see them kids running in the Baldwin Hills with the US ARMY shirt, being yelled at, it breaks my heart. I see new Virtual Reality technology coming out soon and one of the big demo from last month involves holding guns and shooting at people. And of course culturally I\u2019m supposed to WOOHOO this hard and ignore potential impact on people living in sick environments that is, tons of people. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot of shifting to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don\u2019t know, Barack.
