Godlessness, Not Guns, Is the Problem

Americans have had ready access to guns throughout our history. In fact, at one point in time a person could order a hunting rifle from the Montgomery Ward catalog and have it delivered right to your house. Marksmanship and Gun Safety were elective classes in many schools across the county. Pickup trucks often had a rifle rack holding at least one rifle, often more than one, in the parking lots of high schools across America. Yet in all those decades we did not experience the kinds of school shootings that happen far too often nowadays. So, what is the cause?

For one thing, Americans have turned their backs on traditional morality, traditional gender roles, and traditional religion. Studies show that regular church attendance has dropped precipitously in the last few decades. Few young people are receiving religious instruction inside of the home anymore, and sadly even fewer are receiving it outside of the home.
