“Unsatisfying as it may be to contemplate, the United States needs to come to terms with the fact that it has a problem of the heart and not of the law. The material questions here are, ‘Why do so many children in America wish to massacre and maim their schoolmates?’; ‘Why are so many teenagers obsessed with the abomination at Columbine?’; and ‘What on earth can be pushing young men to carefully plan the execution of their families?’ Spending our time debating which regulations we might impose upon the content and the law-abiding may feel good, but, in a country with this many firearms, it is ultimately futile. America has a school shooting problem, and the operative word is ‘school.'” – Charles C. W. Cooke, School Shootings and America’s Problem of the Heart [via nationalreview.com]
