It's like trying to teach children not to hit by spanking them. It just doesn't make sense, and it propagates violence into subsequent generations. What is dangerous is the institutionalization of this failure.
Every law is a threat of violence, yet Americans seek to solve every problem with one:
The new U.S. Congress will convene on January 3rd with two high profile issues to consider. There is zero chance that they will get either one of them right. The debates on both are already framed into a lose-lose proposition for the American people, as are virtually all "debates" on Capitol Hill.
One issue is "How should the right to keep and bear arms be further infringed?" The other is "How much less of their own money should Americans be allowed to keep?"
With a more enlightened populace, there is always some chance that pressure on the legislators could produce a more positive result. However, the gullible American public has already taken the bait that "something must be done" on both issues. "Something" means Congress passing a law, which means the perceived problem will be solved with violence.
