What we need to is to figure out how to reduce the hate and lack of empathy.
People don't shoot other people because they have a gun and thus feel compelled to shoot people, they do it because they think the other people are evil
I blame poor education (and I am a teacher myself).
No properly educated person would listen to the likes of Glenn Beck with anything but contempt. And yet, guys like him are making tens of millions of dollars a year because poorly-educated people eat his **** up with a spoon.
So long as we have powerful voices promoting hatred and paranoia, we are going to have people who take these voices as calls for violent and paranoid action.
