It’s a natural progression in a country that has an increasingly demographic shift, that traditional values, culture, ideas and outlook are under pressure to be changed.

To add, the US is a safe country overall. When people are safe all their life and statistically safer than at risk to be harmed, they have softer opinions on ownership of weapons. Then people point to those that do cause harm as a problem, but instead of looking at social and economic indicators of why people cause harm, they blame tooling.

I still 100% feel all anti-gun legislate originates from the wealthy privilege class. The only thing the rich fear is a worker revolt, which has happened several times in US history. This is why they are charging Lugie as a terrorist for killing a CEO vs. the lesser charges school shooters and gangsters get.

I don't condone Lugie killing the UHC CEO. I can understand how our society and government brought us to this point. If more rich people fears the working class of revolting, things would balance out quickly. I fear we are at a tipping point and will see more targeted attacks such as this since the rich don't listen to protests, and our government is paid by the rich.

I welcome this point of view.
