Unlike the silver screen, where the superman is the silver bullet
to redeem a fallen world from a fallen enemy, men and women in the
three-dimensional world have to make do with what they have and are.
The massacre of Aurora Colorado is a tragedy in a tragic
world, where men and women must accept that man at his core has demons and
demands that left to themselves destroy and seek to dominate.
The best resolution, however, is not to make it harder for
the law-abiding to defend themselves, nor should we permit government and state
forced to decide who can defend himself and how.
“The audience in Aurora at first confused reel-to-reel
violence with the real kind.”
It was never the audience’s fault what happened at the movie
theater.
Cinematic violence does not make man violent, nor do guns
kill people of their own free will.
The solution to gun violence is not fewer guns, for the real
problem is not the hand or the handgun, but the heart of man of itself.
