Some questions about this weeks school shooting from a Libertarian Perspective

in #politics7 years ago

The continued school shootings are just 1 of the reasons why, if it came down to it, Emily Rose Amoriello and I would rather live in a 1 bedroom apartment and homeschool then to send our future children to state schools.

The response i've seen is typical, one side wants to ignore data and abolish guns, the other side wants to make a police state out of schools. Nobody wants to address the causal factors.

I don't know whats causing it, but I do have some questions:

Why are young men losing faith in the value of existence? Why are most of these shooters on drugs? How tribal is a top down political dichotomy making us against each other? Why is defending yourself against bullies an actionable offense in many schools? Why is the wealthiest nation in history the most medicated? What effect on our psyche does removing the concept of God as a cultural norm have and where does that faith transfer to? Why does the state come after ARs when it's handguns doing most of the crime? Why is it ignored that the vast majority of gun crime is confined to suicides and gang violence, which is also tied to the war on drugs? Why are schools gun free zones when it was normal to have a gun rack on your truck in the parking lot 40 years ago? Why arent we demanding a reduction on regulations on what constitutes a 'school' so a free market, probably with better security, can truly arise in education? Why do we even want the govt to serve as glorified babysitters? Why are we nihilistically apathetic to the great troubles of our time?!
