I was in Brisbane attending my third child (2nd daughter)'s convocation final Saturday when we listened about a news of a meaningless killings in NewTown, Connecticut. Although convocation is supposed to be a happy occasion, a joyous mood was kaleidoscopic with a little sadness on a nonessential deaths of so many.
So most people died since of a demented man blustering his anger/dissatisfaction/whatever at innocent people, most of them were kids who would never understand since they were shot.
This is not a initial such killings and, despite what President Obama has said, will not be a final either. It is simply as well easy to have access to firearms in USA. In a little places, we can even buy guns at selling mall.
I was in Mid West in late May this year, as well as we went to a selling mall (kirkwood Mall) to buy a span of Keen Shoes in a emporium called "Scheels". This is a emporium that sells shoes, sports apparatus, as well as theory what, there is a large territory selling guns of all description, prolonged as well as short, large calibre as well as small, almost automatic as well as so on. You only need a pushing permit as well as fill out sure info to get a gun. You can also buy a large cosmetic bag full of bullets at reduction than 10 dollars.
While it is loyal that firearm is only a tool, as well as a problem in these sharpened cases goes much deeper as well as involves demented psychological makeups of sure individuals, a easy availability of firearm makes these demented people most times some-more dangerous as well as lethal in America. In Malaysia as well as most other countries too, we have listened of Amoks using around murdering people, but since a weapons used in these cases have been knifes as well as parangs, a indemnification have been much smaller as well as fewer lives have been lost.
There is thus a box of stricter carry out of guns.
Besides, we consider TV as well as movie producers contingency fool around a purpose too. Recent yea! rs have seen TV serials 'glorifying' knave purposes as well as TV shows have been augmenting aroused as well as bloody. Some of a most popular TV serials like "Dexter" or "Breaking Bad" all portray their heading characters not as heroes, but as villains pursuing criminal activities. Dexter is a serial killer but at a same time works as a forensic red blood pattern dilettante in Miami Metro. Breaking Bad's lead character is a chemistry teacher incited designer drug manufacturer, evolving slowly from making methamphetamine as well as becoming a drug kingpin, murdering as well as murdering along a way. While we adults might not be influencd by these characters, teenagers flourishing up as well as watching these might be subtlely influenced.
Then there have been all kinds of computer games that we have to explosion your approach through, choosing weapons from an impressive arsenal, sharpened as well as murdering literally tens as well as tens of people along a approach . In my opinion, kids flourishing up playing these games as well as making virtual kills might turn some-more trigger happy, as well as might have reduction predicament to shoot real weapons comparing with those who do not fool around these games.
Most of these killers, too, have a psychological form that was shaped from unhappy childhood, with damaged families as well as so on.
I consider society contingency ask themselves: what has gone wrong? We hardly listened about these sort of killings in a 60s as well as 70s.
Some soul searching needs to be done.
