'Let's face it: We are a sick country. Our debate on gun violence can best be described as deranged and pathetic.'
It's difficult to find the words that adequately describe our feelings on first learning of the massacre of 19 children and two teachers in Texas last week. There was shock, fear, even nausea, and then disgust at the realization that this nightmare we've experienced too many times before was playing out again.
No matter how many times we are told this and how many outrages we endure, we know in our hearts that nothing will be done. And so, we are resigned to live with fear, knowing the nightmare will return. The reality is deeper than policies or legislation. It's not just that our guns are too sophisticated or that we have too many of them. The root problem is our sick"gun culture."
There is a scene in the film noir cult classic"Gun Crazy" where Bart, the film's main character, as a young boy is staring longingly into a store window. The object of his desire is a six-shooter. Unable to resist its call, he shatters the glass and attempts to steal the weapon, only to be arrested in the act.
