Nutters With Guns

There are moves in America to reinforce the State's monopoly on violence by severely limiting private gun ownership. Not surprisingly Americans agonise over random shootings, but the surprise is not the occasional shooting in a school here and there, but that there are not more shootings.
That the society of the self centred, the loner, the person who knows the kiss of desire but not the kiss of tenderness, the call of possession, not the call of freedom, should throw up the occasional psychopath is not to be marvelled at.
A world of regulation throws up detached irresponsible people.
They are hemmed in at every step, controlled, monitored, drugged, taught to see themselves as sick and yet at the same time the centre of the universe.
They are taught to believe in their own importance, when clearly they are not important to anyone but themselves.
Nobody really cares about them, except possibly their parents, if they are lucky.
It is not surprising that they are full of self pity and hate.
Normally, these overgrown children, raised for dependency and dumb obedience, a generation of zombies shuffling numbly and nastily from one automated task to another, can let off their fury by binge eating and playing video games, and if they still cannot fill the unforgiving minute the doctor will drive the evil thoughts from their brains with some medication.
Does gun control make sense?
Who does the controlling? Those Who Know Better Than Us?
A hierarchical society is a society of the irresponsible, a society of children. Guns only make sense in a free society. A free society depends on its own militia for its defence. Only tyrants want to take those guns away.
People in a free society are responsible. But America is not a free country. Zombies cannot be free, especially fat zombies. Children cannot be responsible. They like to eat sweets and have fun. They like to be naughty sometimes. And the children are stuffed full of mind bending drugs. There are 6.4 million American children on drugs for ADHD. One out of five male secondary school students in the USA, overwhelmingly working class kids, have been diagnosed with ADHD. They are drugged up to the eyeballs,  prepared for a life of drug dependency and passivity which will later land them in jail.
Should you let these children play with guns? Of course not.
But who are the adults in this hierarchy of repression and irresponsibility and where are they?
