- 1950s - answer to redback
Brian...how do you explain the changes since your Dad's time? Less gun safety, greater proliferation, poorer attitude?
Well, I think it clearly shows that the problem isn't guns. If the problem were guns, then there WOULD have been gun violence in the 1950s as much as today. Certainly would have been the case in high schools like my father's.
There have been MANY books written on why violence has increased since then. I think several factors are involved....population growth, more anger and frustration toward society, breakdown of the family, etc, etc. Quite a few reasons. But not guns.
