The Uvalde, Texas school massacre did not happen because an 18-year-old had access to guns. Instead, it was a walking testimony to the moral bankruptcy of modern America and the hollowing out of the American home. A broken home, no father or father figure in his life, a mother who reportedly struggled with drug addiction, no church or community of any kind, no real friends except those he met through social media. We found such profiles in the school shootings at Parkland, Sandy Hook, and many other places.
This is more than a profile of a school shooter; it’s an indictment of our entire culture. America has become an immoral society caused by “liberal policies that encourage out of wedlock child birth, divorce, single-parent households, and amoral values that undermine respect for life.” John Adams, one of our Founding Fathers, understood the consequences of immorality: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
In my childhood, we always had guns in our house, as did my relatives. My father and young brother would head out to the woods in Tennessee on Saturday mornings to hunt. As an adult, I carried a gun to protect myself because I had been robbed twice.
