Feelings and a Lack of Shame – not Guns – Are the Problem in America

"but also insisted that we exercise emotional self-control."

As I've been saying for years, Libs/Socialists operate their lives by emotions rather that logic, reasoning, or commonsense. They think they are doing good by focusing on "feelings" first and ignore the dark aspects of human nature that so often over-come those feelings, or lack of. I've seen it from the hippy days and their whiny bleeding hearts have become more prevalent with each generation.

America's moral and intellectual compass has been and continues to be destroyed. I'm not sure there is any way back.

"Remember “Wake up Little Suzie?” ...Shame."

Yes, it was about them playing around in a moral age where they respected their parents opinion. The following is my truncated version:

"We've both been sound asleep;
Wake up, little Susie, and weep; The movie's over, it's four o'clock, and we're in trouble deep. Wake up little Susie; Wake up little Susie, well...

Whatta we gonna tell your mama;
Whatta we gonna tell your pa;
Whatta we gonna tell our friends when they say â??ooh-la-laâ??
Wake up little Susie;
Wake up little Susie, well...

I told your mama that you'd be in by ten.
Well Susie baby looks like we goofed again.
Wake up little Susie;
Wake up little Susie, we gotta go home.

The movie wasn't so hot, it didn't have much of a plot.
We fell asleep, our goose is cooked, our reputation is shot.
Wake up little Susie;
Wake up little Susie, we gotta go home.

Shame is practically non-existent in the Millennials, GenX, and many Boomers. To admit or think shame is wrong, is to admit your behaviors can be wrong. Half the nation has no such beliefs anymore. What a shame.

So true; they’ve completely erased God.

Exactly right. Proof that the inanimate objects are not the problem: Where are you safer- in a locked room with an unarmed psychopath, or in a locked gun store with every gun loaded? Only in the hands of someone who wants to kill is ANY inanimate object-gun, stick,car-a weapon.( Bombs are the exception, but they, too, need humans to assemble and arm them). A loaded AK47 pointed at your head while you sleep will not kill you. A mental patient using their bare hands can.

Would there be 17 dead students if only the gun-and not the lunatic-had been in school?
