Guns
April 24th, 2007Analysis of the Virginia Tech killings have spawned a wide variety of villains. A movie, anti-depressants, George Bush (always a favourite), and more. This theologian offers an interesting take on things.
There are a lot of people asking this question, and a lot of people offering answers: sociologists, psychologists, preachers, pundits….
So here’s one simple answer: guns.
No, I’m not about to sound off about gun control. And no, I’m not saying that the individual wasn’t to blame, or that his parents aren’t to blame, or that society isn’t to blame, or that God isn’t to blame. All of those are valid sites for analysis and reflection.
