An older gentleman that I knew for a long long time who passed away a few years ago at age 91, claimed that the beginning of the US going down hill started with the arrival of the Beetles.......maybe he was right??This isn't a gun problem -- it's a society problem...we've lost our way as a society and have become too glued to our electronics and detached from one another..we've lost our moral compass as a country. It all started going down hill after WW2 and the final nail in the coffin was the vietnam war hippie movement. We got soft.
