This is a Tweet showing a 46-second clip of Dennis Kucinich, a candidate for Ohio governor, speaking about banning assault weapons. Please listen to what he says before you read my response below. I just felt like I had to post this here as well because I sometimes find frustration in the fact that even someone I respect, such as Mr. Kucinich, isn’t making the correct connections, likely because he has to play the political game as it’s been set up. Anyway, here’s the Tweet…
"NO teacher should have to have a gun to protect our kids. They should be able to teach without fear."

…and here’s my response… (I had to write it in two parts because of Twitter’s character limit.)
I love you, Dennis, but you said that children shouldn't experience violence then went on to say that we should ban assault weapons. I appreciate that, but assault weapons aren't the cause of violence that children experience in society; they're tools of violent people. 1/2

2/2 We have to address our violent society in terms of teaching people how to be nonviolent, how to deal with their anger and express their rage in ways that don't harm others. We have to raise children who won't want to touch assault weapons because they'll see no use for them.
