An apt comparison.  https://www.theburningplatform.com/2018/02/25/reason-vs-treason/

This item contains two videos that establish why Cultural Marxism should be extinguished from the American psyche.  It is pure communist evil. Quote: "If you don’t know Professor Jordan Peterson or if you are unaware of the full court press that the media has decided to focus on him to discredit his well-reasoned resistance to Cultural Marxism, please take the time to familiarize yourself this man and his methods. Last week his BBC interview with the BBC’s Cathy Newman drew a lot of attention. No matter which side of the ideological debate you may find yourself, this is one of the best examples of the difference between the two positions. The link below is an interview he did that analyzes the original BBC interview and it is fascinating."    https://www.theburningplatform.com/2018/02/20/jordan-peterson-post-bbc-inteview/

Evidence keeps mounting to prove the point the author of this piece makes.  See if you agree.  Quote: "It’s happened again, another tragedy in America, and once more we hear the cries for systematic change echo from coast to coast. Instead of berating you with countless policy prescriptions in the aftermath, and whether or not they will deter these events in the future, I would like to offer a piece of advice to those seeking to come out of this with more than just “thoughts and prayers” that I think has been grossly overlooked and underutilized in society today. Rather than entrench ourselves in the emotional mudslinging within social media anytime an event like this occurs, we ought to turn inward, towards our own backyards and communities, and recognize that the path to political change starts locally, not nationally."    https://fee.org/articles/we-cant-keep-expecting-the-federal-government-to-fix-things/?

This piece discusses the troubling mindset of the liberal left. Quote: "When the New World Order is being implemented with every horror imaginable, why are people so brain dead and reluctant to confront their multiplying dilemmas? Fear is often the answer. Fright of being labeled a racist overcomes the closet moralist. Criticism of international finance runs the risk of being called anti-Semitic. In both cases the denial of the historic record outweighs the courage of being honest to the intellectual facts. The end result is a Dumb as Dirt society. Afro-Americans need to overcome their disinformation rap culture and educate themselves in the timeless principles and moral canons embedded in the Western Civilization heritage. The core embodiment of the sanctity of life and the indivisible divine rights of the individual are the essence of self-government. As the world descends into greater chaos, clergy and community leaders need to step forward and condemn the Black Lives Matter racism. If your kindred revere the message of Martin Luther King, how could you not practice his teachings? “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character” is not just a cute phrase. Immoral genes may be endemic in occult worshiping banksters, but there is nothing preventing repentant sinners from seeking forgiveness. An important step is to reject being a stuck on stupid dullard. All immortal souls have no race pigment."    http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/dumb-dirt-mindset-collectivists/

This item suggests that Obama's "no arrest" program which the Florida school participated in is possibly the reason or at least contributed to the massacre of 17 people and harmed 14 more. Quote: "Not only are we looking into it, and not only is it part of the cause of our call for [Scott Israel’s] incompetence, in the legislation that we’re about to propose we’re doing away with what we call the “No-Arrest policy.” They call it something nice and flowery like the “PROMISE program.” It’s not a promise program. What it is is allowing kids who are constantly engaged in — it’s supposed to only be misdemeanor behavior, but how does the school personnel know if the law enforcement isn’t called? It’s felony behavior, and numerous of those felonies were alleged against [Nikolas Cruz]. Nothing was done because of this PROMISE policy, and as a result we have this tremendous tragedy that we’re all suffering through.Israel has since claimed to be investigating his office’s involvement with the PROMISE program following the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, said Corcoran:  [Scott Israel is] investigating a deal that he made with the superintendent, that basically created under Obama a no-arrest policy. So he basically said, ‘Don’t tell me unless it’s a serious crime.’ Now we know that Cruz was bringing bullets, knives, all kinds of things to school. All of them were given to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, nothing was done. And now he’s investigating whether that happened, too, after he basically entered into an agreement with the school board not to tell him."  http://www.breitbart.com/radio/2018/02/27/exclusive-fl-house-speaker-richard-corcoran-obama-era-no-arrest-policy-may-have-shielded-florida-shooter/    The political left comes up with programs like this and then blames the political right when their foolish schemes inevitably go bad.

Here is a cogent conversation about the gun control issue and the illogic that underpins the left's faulty thinking on the matter.  http://netrightdaily.com/2018/02/time-nation-honest-dialogue-violence/
And, here is a piece that MUST be part of the debate over what causes people to commit mass murders.  Quote: "Here is an explosive excerpt from Dr. Breggin’s recent column at Mad In America: “Psychiatrist Says: More Psychiatry Means More Shootings”:  “In the early 1990s, a federal court appointed me to be the scientific expert for all of the combined product liability cases that were brought against Eli Lilly throughout the country concerning Prozac-induced violence, suicide and crime. Since then I have been involved in many cases in which judges and juries, and even prosecuting attorneys, have determined that psychiatric drugs have caused or substantially contributed to violence. For a lengthy list, see the Legal Section on my website [www.breggin.com].”  And, "At the federal level, lobbyists for drug companies are crawling all over Washington DC. They exert an astonishing level of influence on law makers and bureaucrats. The issue of psychiatric drug-induced murder is obviously not on the list of permitted issues for open and extensive discussion. Then there is the FDA. This is the agency tasked with approving every medical drug as safe and effective before it can be released for public use. The FDA will never admit its decisions have been fueling mass shootings across America. The Agency views the pharmaceutical industry as its partner. Placing warnings on informational drug inserts (as described above by Dr. Breggin) easily escapes the attention of psychiatric patients. Doctors who prescribe the drugs may or may not read those warnings. Even if they do read them, the drugs are THE solution to “mental disorders.” Very few doctors will seek other means of treatment. The public is in the middle of a psychiatric plague. Learning the truth is the first step forward. After that, we MUST preserve the right to refuse medication."    https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2018/02/27/world-famous-psychiatrist-says-more-psychiatric-drug-treatment-means-more-mass-shootings-will-happen/   The political left has chosen minimize this long existing piece of the puzzle in order to focus on their irrational get rid of guns obsession.
Here is another item necessary if the debate is going to really focus on solutions other than infringing law abiding citizen Second Amendment rights. Quote: "Writing at The Federalist in 2015, Peter Hasson highlighted the fact that of all the shootings on CNN's “27 Deadliest Mass Shootings In U.S. History" list committed by young males since 2005, only one was raised by his biological father." https://www.dailywire.com/news/27586/fatherlessness-amanda-prestigiacomo?   This problem is a major consequence of the political left's war on poverty tax policies. If you do not know what that is take a look at this piece. Quote: "It is no accident that the collapse of marriage in America largely began with the War on Poverty and the proliferation of means-tested welfare programs that it fostered. When the War on Poverty began, only a single welfare program—Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC)—assisted single parents. Today, dozens of programs provide benefits to families with children, including the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) food program, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), food stamps, child nutrition programs, public housing and Section 8 housing, and Medicaid. Although married couples with children can also receive aid through these programs, the overwhelming majority of assistance to families with children goes to single-parent households."    https://www.heritage.org/welfare/report/how-welfare-undermines-marriage-and-what-do-about-it
