Absolutely. Most countries have pretty much disarmed their citizens. If those countries had an armed populace there would be similar levels of gun violence.
I don't think we glorify guns as a culture at all. I think it's quite the opposite and one of the reasons we find ourselves where we are. The MSM continually demonizes guns, particularly the guns used in high profile crimes. Culture has made it taboo to own guns. You see it every day. My son was a second grader and he took one of his little green army men to school. The one he chose as holding a rifle. His teacher told him to put it in his backpack and to not bring it back. I saw the teach later at a function where I thanked him for his actions because I knew he used common sense and cut him a break because it was an expellable offense.
That’s what they think, but if this goes on too much longer, people are going to tune them out. All they do is report negative and biased trash. American citizens are going to be looking for positive messages of hope, if this continues on. Today’s media has no idea how to deliver a message like that.
