We have an ignored culture of promoting violence / gun violence....
The Video Game industry and Hollywood make billions of dollars creating, promoting, and selling gun violence, knowingly or not conducting the psychological desensitization to such violence, death, and the worth of human life.
--- Due to their monetary political donations and support these industries have been protected from policy / legislation / change.
Mental Illness still has not been seriously addressed as a prominent factor in these shootings or how to address it.
The decline of government-controlled school systems, that are more interested in the political indoctrination that education of our children, the resulting failed status of our schools, and the negative effect these failed schools have on students like the Parkland, Fl shooter - how schools continue to fail students - has not been sufficiently addressed.
The complete failure of the Law Enforcement divisions to prevent such tragedies - especially this one - when they have been warned far well in advance (40+ police calls to investigate / respond, multiple warnings by those who saw something and reported it) has been partially ignored in a rush to use the tragedy politically to push anti-gun/Amendment agendas and policies.
The FBI and the Obama administration was warned by Putin and the Russian Govt that the Tsarnaev brothers were terrorists who intended to commit a terrorist attack on US soil against Americans, that 1 of the brothers had traveled abroad and attended a terrorist training camp - confirmed by the Obama administration and FBI, and the FBI / Obama administration still failed to prevent the brothers from committing the Boston Marathon Bombing.
---- AFTER the attack, in an attempt to cover-up their failure to prevent the attacks the Obama administration / FBI posted the pictures of the brothers on nation-wide TV and asked the public to help identify them....EVEN THOUGHT THEY ALREADY KNEW EXACTLY WHO THEY WERE!
---- Politicians did not immediately begin calling for the banning / outlawing of PRESSURE COOKERS, which were used in the terrorist attack.
A reported 11 kids / young people are killed EVERY DAY due to Texting While Driving.
- Where is the declaration that PHONES kill people?
- Where is the call to raise the legal age to purchase a PHONE to 21 years of age?
- Where is the call for the banning of phones?
(If Texting while Driving is responsible for so many deaths, why aren't WiFi and Bluetooth banned from being installed in vehicles?)
