Re: Whats wrong with today
Your argument assumes that more active control leads to the actions described when there probably isn't a causal relationship: following your argument logically, more laws placing various restrictions would cause an increase in the things being restricted. That's obviously absurd. Do traffic laws encourage you to speed more, or to run stop signs? In general, these laws discourage people from taking a given action.
Restrictions on guns don't lead to school violence, they were brought on in response to school violence. Violence in schools can be caused by a lot of things. Those Columbine kids were just plain crazy: their actions had nothing to do with restrictions on guns in school.
I enjoyed reading those, although they were a bit extreme.

You can say that kids kill other classmates more now then before... but also kids are controlled more now as well, which could lead to these awful things which lead to more control.
