I don’t often comment on this issue, but this is my take on it. Our culture and society is rotting from the inside out. Mass shootings are just one more domino.

Discipline, by the way, doesn’t just mean a spanking or time out. It means teaching them. Teaching them morals, values, pride in self and place, compassion, humility, virtue, self-control, modesty. It means modeling a loving relationship in a functioning home.

In short, what Americans have been turning their backs on for decades.
