Instead of Gun Control, How About 'Young People Control'?
WNRR interview: 12/18/12 - I'm getting rather sick of exploiting "Do something!" politicians and media pundits using tragedy to push for their preferred gun control when out-of-control young people is the problem.
This is sure to ruffle some feathers but the topic of 'moral decay' inside America needs to be addressed. God instituted the 'family structure' for a reason. When properly instituted it acts as another restraint on the depravity of human nature.

The signs of an immature man.
Godlessness and Wickedness
The outworking of a Godless society is wickedness. No doubt about it!
Hebrews 12:7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?
Deuteronomy 8:5 Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.
Proverbs 3:12 because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.
Proverbs 19:18 Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death.
Proverbs 22:15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him.
Proverbs 23:13 Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die.
Proverbs 23:14 Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death.
Proverbs 29:15 The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.
Proverbs 29:17 Discipline your son, and he will give you peace; he will bring delight to your soul.
Proverbs 13:24 He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.
The Rev. Mr. Holden makes some sensible observations on this passage: "By the neglect of early correction the desires (passions) obtain ascendancy; the temper becomes irascible, peevish, querulous. Pride is nourished, humility destroyed, and by the habit of indulgence the mind is incapacitated to bear with firmness and equanimity the cares and sorrows, the checks and disappointments, which flesh is heir to."
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible
Criminal Beginnings
All babies are born delinquent and if left without a moral upbringing they'll all become a criminal, killer, a rapists.
