Mayor Tom Barrett believes part of the solution starts with a zero gun attitude taught at home, and in the community. He says, "I'm trying to get the mothers and the sisters to say if you love your son, if he tells you he's gotta have a gun. He's not doing himself any good...All you're doing is creating a situation where you are much more likely to put yourself in harms way."
What a moron. And this guy wants to be Governor? Didn't he learn his lesson on blaming physical things for sources of violence from the 90s when the Democrats tried to blame teen violence on Violent Video Games, something that's never had a shred of credible evidence to it?
1st) anybody notice how he indirectly speaks to a slightly specific majority of people??? "...get the mothers and sisters..."
why not the fathers??? shouldn't the fathers be teaching about guns and or their lack of???
2nd) how much good is a mom telling her boy she loves him going to do when all that boy knows is physical and mental abuse??? how about instead of worrying about a stupid piece of steel that never hurt anybody itself, you worry about the generations of fathers that haven't been around to teach their kids values???
if you want to blame anybody for crimes, it's NOT the guns, and it's NOT the youth today. it started with the parents SEVERAL GENERATIONS AGO. when the parents stopped caring, punishing and taking responsibility, is when things got out of hand.
PS: and violence did NOT come from video games. it was all MTV and these stupid television shows. never mind the fact that parents don't even spank their children anymore.
oh oh oh oh oh here's a random thought.
if law makers had the bright idea of taking parental rights away from parents and instead parents now go to jail for spanking their kids, then why not lock up one of those law makers every time a kid that didn't get his azz whooped by his parents commits a crime??? yeah yeah yeah....if i can't raise my child, then his behavior problems should belong to the person who said i wasn't allowed to raise my child.
you want REAL GUN CONTROL??? remove ALL the gun laws, and take parenting habits back about 1century.
