    The problem is guns, but the problem is also cultural. Americans love guns. More alarmingly, American boys love guns.

    My 8-year-old comes home talking about guns and weapons, and it doesn't come from us. Boys at school talk about it constantly, often in the context of video games.

    “The guns” facet notwithstanding, I sometimes wonder what leads to kids like this being in a sociopathic state like this.

    See? If we just sent all of our kids to military school, they'd be safer off.

    I do. Is our producing more than our share (seemingly) just because of the guns ... or are rejects among those things our society is especially good at churning out?

    Coupled in the wagering with the guy who claims the rise in ocean levels can be attributed to rocks falling into the water.

    Are we producing more than our share? Or is it just that our rejects have immensely easier access to the means to kill?

    I know of no evidence proving a higher percentage of emotionally disturbed kids in the US compared to other developed countries. Whereas the easier access evidence is overwhelming and undisputable.

    Right. Hence my “seemingly” ...
