Bipartisan Senate group proposes ‘no fly, no buy’ gun measure
(02-22-2018, 12:09 PM)pbrower2a Wrote: I just heard Wayne LaPierre at a televised speech at the American Conservative Political Conference -- or whatever the cult is called -- lashing out at every known living liberal (especially Barack Obama) and of course 'European Socialists' who fail to believe in unfettered capitalism as the truest expression of freedom. He even suggested a means of preventing school massacres -- armed guards. I presume lots of them, and that of course would require the sale of more firearms, the unstated but easily-discerned objective of the NRA --even more gun sales. How convenient!

Yeah, sure. Living in an armed camp in which the government has the means of enforcing the harshest manifestations of plutocracy (and he had effusive praise for President Trump)  is the definitive security and freedom. 
 
The millennials grew up in the social media age.  They have a different view of the right to communicate, which includes the right to have a cell phone, to access their friends at any moment.  Boomers and other older generations simply do not understand.  For the most part this ability to communicate is a plus.  Their generation is the most connected of all time. 

It also enables clique behavior.  Those established in cliques can exclude the most abnormal or reclusive among them, can if they choose institute abuse.  The Second Amendment has always existed, though it has not always been honored.  The problem is in increasing the separation between the established cliques and the loners.  The loners are hitting back as they can.

Perhaps this is a Millennial problem?  

Red and blue are not agreeing on gun laws.  The problem of lone nuts, though, is real and not going away.  If the problem is within Millennial culture, changing the gun laws will not help, will not change the very human dynamic of the technology enhance ability to reject the one who doesn't fit.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
