This is pure BS. Every time some insane act is committed by a disturbed individual, liberals look for some inanimate object to blame, in this case the gun. The true problems are their failed social policies; their lack of a solid moral base; their ideal, Godless society, and a multitude of other hedonistic policies that tend to create these social aberrations. It's the moral core and the conscience of the country that needs change, not the caliber of gun
I agree with him for the most part (of the bolded part).
Except for the Godless part I would say it has some reason to it. As much as freedom is valued let us not forget that morals and laws both allowed society to come into existence a long time ago, though this is still far off as there's a lot of causes for violence that do have some relation to what he's saying (For example, beating children does has some relationship with future acts of violence) but ultimately cannot be the answer either.
[MENTION=1257]ImagineAll[/MENTION]; Exactly. There's a lot of variance in between how Christians behave so it's unfortunate that the intolerant hardliners of religions tend to be the loudest. Take my country for example, there's a Muslim party that keeps talking about how this and that should be banned when the states they're controlling still has the highest vice rates and I certainly can tell that most Muslims don't think like that, hell, there's even one Muslim party that tends to get flak from them for being moderate!
