150 years from now, Americans will look back upon our gun-diseased culture and shake their heads in bewilderment, that something so barbaric was looked upon as a "right."
The Chinese no longer bind women's feet ...
Dueling is no longer acceptable ...
Slavery is illegal ...
And women can vote.
See: The Honor Code ... by Kwame Anthony Appiah
There are challenges to all of these once acceptable social behaviors, but progress is made, and continues to move along the rough and tumble pathway of human foibles and failures. But life prevails.
There will be a time when gun-numbers are greatly reduced, when we have sane and serious laws to monitor the manufacturing and sale of guns and ammo.
It will happen ...
