About Gun Violence

So let's take on this March against Gun violence. It's leftist claptrap.
Now I won't deny that taking away America's guns would result in fewer school shootings. It would, and anyone who argues otherwise has some really hard arguments to make.
So why am I calling bullshit. It's because the focus is on guns. When was the last time you heard of a home-schooler shooting up his classroom, or a Montessori kid, or a democratic school child
Perhaps if we want fewer school shootings, we need to look at the institutions we put people in, and how they affect those people.
Look at the school model. Regulated by bells and 45-50 minute periods, it's right out of the prison play book. Then it's a child-eat-child world: competition for attention and grades, often at the expense of group and community. Externally enforced structure, the attention is on what “the man” wants. It's insane. We should be surprised we don't have more school shootings.
How about a context where every child gets noticed, where milestones for socialization are met at ages two through four.
Where do we teach visualization and goal setting, and self-regulation in pursuit of what a child deems important?
These are not the calls we hear. People want to ban assault weapons. Let's get something clear. Every firearm is an assault weapon. Its purpose is to kill. Turn it on a human, it's an assault weapon.
But this is the purpose of our second amendments. The purpose is that every American should have access to military grade arms.
The well-regulated Militia is you and I, every able bodied male; those who can stand up when the world goes nuts, when the police fail to police, or cannot.
Now do I trust every American with a gun? Clearly not. I don't trust them with the vote either. Some people are truly too dim to judge intelligently.
My problem is that I would trust even less those to whom would be entrusted the task of sorting out those worthy of exercising their rights.
And my problem with those of left is that they are so convinced of their rightness that they would seek to impose such a Rights Police upon us in the name of our own good. But we've seen where such group think goes.
The world can be an ugly place. People have killed each other, have wrought havoc, since long before we had guns. Human nature has not changed. There will always be those who will want to impose their will on you and me. (And by the way, they often start by claiming victim status).
Our founding fathers recognized this, and later philosophers–I'm thinking here Nietzsche and Dostoevsky–gave color to this view. They saw evil coming. In the case of our forefathers, they equipped us, or allowed us to equip ourselves, against the excesses of others.
We should not be so quick to undo this.
