Bedlamites on the rise?

Why is it that school shootings on the rise? North Illinois University , Virginia Tech, Oxnard California, Finland..... As a society why do we need the second amendment? Without going into the politics of gun control, I would say that the second amendment should be nullified. The second amendment was written and relevant at a time when the country was still in its infancy and the 'Wild Wild West' culture was prevalent. In today's world, the second amendment seems to be filling the coffers of the gun makers. As for the shootings, are the gun makers to be blamed? ABSOLUTELY NOT. I would not blame the NRA. On the contrary, it is the parents who are to be blamed for keeping their guns accessible to the kids, the Walmart person who sells a pistol without sufficient background checks or the idiots who want to carry guns just for the heck.

Child rapists: The very thought of a child rapist starts to boil my blood. What is a punishment that should be meted out to an individual who rapes a 3 year old child. Then the paedophile hides behind a defense of 'insanity'. A paedophile is just like a madman with an automatic, only more vile and one that should be locked up for good, with no possibility of parole and in isolation. The barbaric punishment of cutting off the penis of a rapist followed in some Islamic nations is the apt punishment for a rapist. We claim that such a punishment is not one that is meted out by a cultured and humane society. If so then I question the presence of such rapists in our society. Either banish them to an island where all of them can rape each other or cut of their instrument of violence. Cut off the root and the weed would never grow. Cut of the penis of one rapist, and the next one would think twice. Cut 10 more and there would be no more. I do not condone violence, but rapists and paedophiles have no place in society and should be treated as such.
