Most, even conservatives, won’t go out, too far, on a ledge to point fingers during a politically correct crisis like the one that has saturated the nation, right now. Even the big, quasi-conservative mainstream media guys have tip-toed around it. Maybe there’s a skewed focus because gun control is a sexy, ratings boosting topic, but it’s time to put a fine point on the real reason school shootings are happening with more frequency. And while there has been a faint buzz of alternative reasoning surrounding the latest school shooting issue, it’s not at the top of the narrative, where it should be.

Finally, in the form of commentary, is this suggestion that the breakdown of family could be a cause of the most resent gun violence. FOX News:

In response to this week’s school shooting in Parkland, Florida, a man named Michael Ian Black, whom I’ve never heard of but who’s apparently an actor and comedian, invited a “conversation” on Twitter that began with the following statement: “Deeper even than the gun problem is this: boys are broken.”

This is an absolutely, 100 percent true statement.

They are fatherless.

The solution to male violence is not to spout off drivel about the evils of masculinity. Masculinity, channeled well, is the reason assistant football coach Aaron Feis died this week. Feis shielded students from bullets by pushing them inside a classroom.

Broken homes, or homes without a physically and emotionally present mother and father, are the cause of most of society’s ills. “Unstable homes produce unstable children,” writes Peter Hasson at The Federalist.

And then, I ask, why isn’t this all over the 6 o’clock news?

The Federalist also connects these violent sprees to fatherlessness as far back as 2015.

As more information slowly seeps out about Dylann Roof, the 21-year-old who murdered nine people at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, one fact should surprise exactly no one: Roof came from a broken home. Roof’s parents divorced three years before he was even born, later reuniting just long enough to produce a child who would later become a mass murderer.

And then there is this, from CCHR about just how many of these incidents might be spurred by mind altering substances.

Fact: At least 36 school shootings and/or school-related acts of violence have been committed by those taking orwithdrawing from psychiatric drugs resulting in 172 wounded and 80 killed (in other school shootings, information about their drug use was never made public—neither confirming or refuting if they were under the influence of prescribed drugs).  The most important fact about this list, is that these are only cases where the information about their psychiatric drug use was made public.

We, as a culture have become socially engineered to accept broken families as a “normal” part of the culture, instead of pushing back against easy, no-fault divorce and out of wedlock births. And we have become equally conditioned to accepting drug abuse, legal or otherwise, as a part of our corrupted culture too big to restrain.

It’s easier to risk losing fundamental constitutional rights, a bite at time, than to step forward, and fight against ills in the culture that have been slowly eroding away societal standards. And it’s also easy to let radical left wing, anti-gun activists to run the narrative every time there’s a tragedy.

If protecting children, and constitutional liberty are really worth it to Americans and the culture, then we have to stop taking the easy way out, and start standing up to things when we see them go awry.
