The problem isn't guns. It's immorality.

This story will tear your heart out, both because these children's deaths are being ignored and because you'll know the reason why.

I am confused by the thread title and the gist of the article. I don't see it as immorality but as the lack of guidance from a Father-figure. That guidance, when positive,covers so much more than just what is moral and what is not.

A moral man raises his children properly. An immoral man leaves them and ignores them. Morality IS taking responsibility for those that you father. Does that help?

I stand by my statement. I agree with yours, but still feel it is incomplete.

If one acknowledges that there are fathers who live with their families, and who raise their sons in an immoral behavior, then yes, your point is true. The way I saw it is to acknowledge that without a father in the home, then there isn't any chance at all for a boy. You could say that an absent father is an absence of influence; whereas the presence of an immoral father in the home might also be an impetus for a son to decide not to be like his father......and then maybe to seek that kind of relationship with an unrelated older man.
