Gun

 control…  or  something  more  radical?  

 
After   another   shootings   in   El   Paso,   Texas   and   Dayton,   Ohio   we   must   place   the  
debate   where   it   truly   matters   –without   manipulation   from   public   or/and   private  
interests-­‐and   reflect   about   the   correct   steps   that   must   be   taken   to   stop   mass  
shootings  from  a  very  early  stage.  
I  was  surprised  to  hear  President  Donald  Trump  reaction  after  the  shootings,  as  it  
was  as  positive  as  contradictory  with  his  real  action.  For  the  first  time  Mr.  Trump  
mentioned   the   burdens   for   American   cultural   change*:   “our   Nation   must  
condemn   racist   hate,   bigotry   and   white   supremacy,   these   ideologies   must   be  
defeated   by   identifying   mass   shooters”   and   search   for   early   warning   signs,   with  
specific   reference   to   the   devastated   glorification   of   violence   on   video   games,  
social   media   by   reforming   mental   health   laws   -­‐to   identify   mental   disturb  
individuals-­‐,  coordinated  action  with  local  institutions,  etc.  
 
Cultural  change  is  indeed  a  fact  that  the  American  society  is  not  making  a  deep  
debate   on   it,   instead,   they   are   submerged   into   an   empty   debate   that   gets  
nowhere:  gun  control  as  the  only  axis  for  all  solutions.  However,  when  there  is  a  
no   responsive   system   –many   of   the   shooters   have   been   identified   before   as  
dangerous-­‐,  the  disturbing  culture  of  “glorification  of  violence”,  mental  illness  and  
no   control   over   the   messages   sent   by   social   media,   video   games,   etc.   or   even   Mr.  
President   Trump   own   confrontational   and   aggressive   messages   that   are   feeding  
hate  instead  of  calling  to  Union,  we  finally  get  an  apocalyptic  stage.  
   
Lets   imagine   for   a   second   that   everything   its   about   gun   ownership,   maybe   if   they  
were   a   complete   ban   of   guns   they   will   be   less   murders?,   yes,   but   it   is   really   the  
answer   for   eradicate   mass   shootings?   I   truly   hesitate   that   mass   shootings   are  
spontaneous   acts   of   hate,   not   coordinated   and   coming   simply   from   “people   that  
buy  arms”.  Millions  of  people  in  America  and  around  the  world  buy  arms  and  not  
because   of   this   fact   they   are   willing   to   commit   mass   murders.   Racism   or   racial  
cleansing  comes  from  agendas,  determined,  organized  and  are  historically  tied  
up   with   American   history.   Not   in   vain   the   Ku   Klux   Klan   was   one   born   in  
America   and   holds   the   embarrassing   position   of   being   the   1st   country   in   the  
world  in  mass  shootings  in  this  year.  

 
However  is  it  not  the  general  perception  and  even  for  those  that  agree  that  there  is  
a   hidden   agenda   behind   they   associate   it   with   political   reasons.   Just   to   give   a  
personal   example:   once   I   have   established   my   position   after   the   shootings,   I  
received  a  comment  in  my  blog  in  which  they  said,  “mass  shootings  are  part  of  an  
strategy   against   socialism”.     Is   not   only   a   statement   that   I   do   not   agree   with   but  
also  is  a  way  to  see  all  violence  in  America  as  political  reasons  instead  of  a  growing  
culture  on  violence  that  moves  beyond  the  arms  industry.  
I   agree   that   there   is   much   more   behind,   but   not   in   terms   of   liberalism-­‐socialism,  
this   old   debate   distracts   for   what   is   really   important   and   is   preventing   to   take  
action   when   is   needed.   America   is   not   what   used   to   be   but   these   challenges  
comes  from  the  same  threats:    racism,  hidden  and  obscure  hatred  agendas  and  
biased  institutions,  that  includes  intelligence  services  that  in  many  cases  were  
aware  of  the  peril  but  surprisingly  they  have  not  acted.    
 
I  strongly  believe  that  ban  guns  will  not  put  an  end  to  mass  shootings,  is  it  true  
that   is  extremely   needed  as   a   matter  of  responsibility  but  specifically  in  relation  to  
mass   murders   it   would   not   make   much   difference   because   they   are   part   of   an  
agenda  and  not  isolated  acts.  

 
 
 
In   addition,   it   accounts   for   a   tiny   proportion   of   gun   deaths:   see   the   chart   that  
exposure  that  suicides  are  the  leading  cause.  
 
Ban  guns  will  deliver  the  same  results  as  Prohibition  of  alcohol  in  1920:  none  
as   the   specific   goals   from   mass   shooters   will   grow   in   anger   and   dimension.  
When   a   society   becomes   so   aggressive   and   hate   becomes   the   rule,   we   need   to  
address  cultural  change  and  embrace  a  goal  in  peace  and  coexistence  with  strength  
but   “measured   and   timing”   ambitious.   It   will   not   be   resolved   in   the   short-­‐term   but  
must   deploy   all   resources   to   make   institutions   work   on   a   coordinated   and  
immediate  action.  Even  what  President  Trump  have  said  that  it’s  much  in  line  with  
this   thoughts,   his   message   is   based   on   confrontation   as   with   Mexico   wall   or  
aggressive   policies   against   migration.   I   am   sure   there   are   better   mechanisms   to  
control  migration  instead  of  a  steadily  feeding  hate.  
 
Lets   think   again   on   the   hypothetical   scenario   of   a   complete   ban   of   guns   for  
individuals,   is   it   possible   that   a   hater,   drugged,   mental   sick   young   hold   one   and  
implement  a  mass  shootings?  Certainly  does,  there  is  a  strong  possibility  that  even  
within  a  ban  it  would  get  an  arm  and  perpetrate  a  tragedy  under  the  power  of  an  
obscure  agenda.  
 
This   is   the   point   of   starting   of   our   reflection   that   makes   the   difference:   is   it  
guns  that  boost  violence  or  it’s  a  hidden  agenda  based  on  racism  and  obscure  
goals  that  boost  violence?  Its  Trump´s  philosophy  that  boost  more  violence?  or  a  
conciliatory  message  towards  supremacists  that  allows  more  unsafely?    
Removing  the  mask  created  by  Government-­‐Media-­‐Social  Media  means  change  an  
old   culture   based   on   racism.   Seeing   reality   from   the   big   picture,   assessing   each  
mass   shootings   as   part   of   an   agenda   not   necessary   responses   to   crises   –migration,  
insecurity,  arms  -­‐  but  and  in-­‐depth  institutional  crisis.  
 
Libertarian   movements   does   not   necessary   arise   for   the   conviction   of   a  
minimalist  State  as  the  panacea  for  well-­‐being  but  as  a  response  because  of  the  
inefficiency   of   current   institutions   and   a   lack   of   leadership   that   is   driven   the  
society  into  chaos.  
There  is  a  strong  break  of  confidence  in  institutions  and  certainly  it  is  a  sign  of  a  
failed  democracy.  Under  these  circumstances  violence  is  guaranteed.              
 
Gun   control   is   not   enough   and   is   not   the   solution   for   American   disease   on   hate  
but   something   more   radical   as:   change   institutions,   reshaping   internal  
mechanisms   and   controlling   Media   messages   because   is   it   here   where   relies  
the  violence.  A  crisis  on  hate  and  racism  that  has  not  been  addressed  on  time  
and  the  society  is  the  one  that  is  suffering  the  consequences.    
 
America,  remove  your  mask…..
