“America does not just have a gun crisis; it has a cultural crisis. America will not stop experiencing the effects of gun violence until we’re ready to face the many ways that our culture is riddled with violence.” My op ed in the Washington Post today: washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Culture of violence, crisis of character - constant avalanche of trauma nationwide. America’s healing will only be possible with ethical leadership, vigilance, unwavering collaboration, and moral courage. We must stop the madness and persevere together for the common good.

we have two crises in tandem - Deranged humans and assault weapons. Half- measures won't stop the killing. Normal people can become deranged and violent, seething until there's commission.

America isn’t riddled with violence. America suppresses any expression of anger, frustration, fury. Let people get angry.
You mean like in Chicago & San Francisco?

We are a country that has been brainwashed into being sick, glorifying violence, unhappiness, and blaming "the other." People need to grow up plain and simple. That is our cultural crisis. We are a nation of immature adolescents.
