Rep. Diane Black, a Republican candidate to be the next Tennessee governor, said last week that the decline of family support systems and the rise of pornography is the "root cause" of school shootings.

"How many of you when you were in school ever had an experience where a kid came to school with a gun? . . . Never happened," Black said during a listening session with ministers at Safe Harbor of Clarksville, Tenn. The audio recording was obtained by The Tennessean and first reported by The Huffington Post.

"Why do we see kids being so violent? What's out there? What makes them do that? Because as a nurse, I go back to root causes."

My 2 cents, is despite those who talk of separation of state and religion, having prayer in school would not hurt, we have freedom of religion, not from.

In fact, one could assume, we would have a more tranquil system with Christian prayer in school. (s) No, let's talk about taking away one's guns. (/sarcasm if I need to say).

"How many of you when you were in school ever had an experience where a kid came to school with a gun?..."

Well, I'd seen gun racks on pickups in the school parking lot. I didn't ever see a gun in school though.

The media's desire to hype these shootings in order to push their anti-gun agenda attracts kids who want to be famous.
