Do you think that draconian gun laws or more fathers being allowed to significantly participate in their children’s lives would effect gun crime more?

If you think the regulation route would be more effective, you then own the problem of explaining the directly proportional relationship between fathers being forced out of their children’s lives and the proportional increase in gun crimes during and after the 1970’s.

There is a straight line between feminism and school shootings such that feminist policies of destroying the nuclear family and denying fathers access to their children is directly responsible for creating at least most future shooters. This is one of many reasons why I oppose feminism and have nothing in common with those who think that is ok or acceptable.

I have been practicing law for 36 years. The only fathers I have seen restricted from participating in their children's lives were either abusive or chronically neglectful. What I HAVE seen is fathers who were given visitation rights and then did not exercise those rights.

What is the line between technical and meaningful participation?

[OlderAndWiser]

I see fathers routinely get time splits of 45%/55% . . . if they want it.

I don’t need a specific state, but you be in a more red state or blue state?

Thanks for MHO!

[FunkyMonkee]

The latter.
However, a lot of the mass shootings are ordered by politicians/those in charge specifically to cause people to fear guns and make them think that taking them away will solve the problem. There's also Montauk boys. The guy that shot John Lennon was one.

Ooh, I'll play! If YOU assert that it's the lack of a father's presence being a primary driving force behind gun crime rising since the 1970's, you own the problem of explaining the directly proportional relationship between it and the fall of Communist regimes. The current rush dates almost PRECISELY to Castro's death.

Look, you're not wrong about the importance of a fatherly presence, but correlation isn't causation, and it's disingenuous to pretend otherwise.

Communism inevitably falls under its own greed and bloated incompetence without external assistance. The least you could do is pick something relevant.

[NamerOfStars]

The regimes began to fall in the 70's, and apart from some degree of lack of meaning in life with the Great Enemy gone, it has nothing to do with gun violence. The lack of relevance is the whole POINT.

Yea... Since you make people defenseless sitting ducks when you take guns away...
