Enough of the bickering. It can't be fixed with voting any ways.
that's how the problem started... if you ignore the roots of it. Voting didn't make the problem. Media bias and popular viewpoint / attitude fueled by popular culture was the hammer that put the nails in the coffin in CA.
People listen to those who are influential- the things that grab their attention the most are what people easily latch onto. Cognitive thinking is the preference for the few, while mindless consumption is the preferred method of information processing of the many.
In order to change what has happened in California, pop culture needs to embrace the values that make our country unique: the freedoms we can exercise and utilize to further ourselves on a daily basis need to be glorified. Much of this is already happening- the 1st ammendment pumping and what not is embraced by Hollywood.
The problem with 2nd ammendment rights is that firearms are associated (through mindless consumption) with violence. A murder is a lot more exciting to a mindless peon when a gun is involved. Guns are exciting by nature- mechanically they involve forces and mechanisms that are enthralling even to an idiot.
So where am I going with this? Honestly, I think that educating people (CONDITIONING THEM) into believing that guns owned by orderly people should be as dull as the shade of grey. It should be a non topic. Something that is not exciting. In Switzerland this is the case due to firearms issuing to citizens.
Educating our children also needs to cover the Constitution and it's Bill of Rights. That doesn't start with young people- that starts with the old. Children don't
****ing teach themselves. You have to do it for them, and do it effectively. Not half assed.
How do you do that in america? The education starts with a parent. And it ends with children. And it might be too far rooted in our society where there will always be excitement with firearms. So we need politicians that respect our Bill of Rights in the meantime, and we need influential people to help educate the public as much as you can (because you're fighting against the grain).
