Gun Control

Using the past, and traditions as an excuse to committing the same mistakes over and over again is the first step to the demise of any entity. Corporations change to suit market needs or they go extinct. People change in order to keep their job. Countries change in order to prevent collapse i.e. prevent the next Rome. Complacency is justified by tradition, until its too late to close the rift formed by outdated policy and antiquated thinking. Ordinary citizens have no reason to have guns, and this just signifies a deeply rooted mistrust in government. With a means there is a way; hence, guns provide the means of killing people which, is in a way, less personal than other means of murder. Therefore, murder becomes an option on the minds of many people who would have dismissed that fact if otherwise unavailable, and an inception of an idea occurs. Allowing the fermentation of this idea over time, i.e. escalation, causes incidents like Sandy Hook, and Aurora to occur, and the interesting fact is that even when guns aren't used in homicide, the fact that they are options, helps the perpetrator down the path of killing. And when guns speak louder than words, the seeds of Anarchy have been sown.
