Connecticut School Shooting Commentary - by Omar Fernandez

Commentary by Omar Fernandez: It'sJustPoliticsBaby.com

This is not a "gun control" problem. This is a degradation of American societal mores problem. How prevalent is abortion? How prevalent are single parent households? How prevalent is violence in media? How often is violence extolled in today's music? How prevalent is the idolization of those that would be considered outcasts and criminals 30 years ago? I don't know the answer but perhaps we are overlooking the simplest one.

Ochkhams razor. As heartless as it may sound, maybe there isn't a problem after all. Maybe we have finally reached a stage of human development we have been predestined to achieve. There are no amount of "gun controls" or physical barriers that a government can place around us that will keep the wicked from doing us harm.

There will always be someone cunning and evil and intelligent enough to get around those controls and commit atrocities. Perhaps the true answer is the one that is impossible to achieve; a change in human behavior. For my kids' sake, I hope I'm wrong.
