I know it's a cliché " guns don't kill people, people kill people" by in a way it is true. Honestly I think it is our "new" society and our complete refusal to be responsible for our own actions that is to blame. Nobody wants to be accountable. Not the show organizers, the father, or the trainer. I would hope than at least one of them would have thought "this might be a bad idea".

The refusal of our young people to accept that they have to be responsible for themselves creates an environment where violence can be justified by anything. That dynamic is to blame for more than a few of our countries issues lately. IMHO.

Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back.
