Violence is caused by violent childhoods, by fear and lack of self respect. All these things are aggravated by conservative brain defective tough love thinking, the idea that poverty is earned by lack of self effort and punishment for failure is deserved. Conservatives want to keep what they earn and believe you should die if you try to take it, but all of their policies and thinking creates the very needs and wants that foster such needs to take.
There is only one kind of moral believe that makes people decent and it isn't fear of punishment or threat that you will be killed if you harm somebody. It is love of self that makes people treat others well. The kind of society conservatives want to create is a Gestapo state, as state of authoritarian worship of the demanding, strict, disciplinary father. The notions of nurture and inner self expression are crushed by the demands of conformity. The result is a culture of robots, seething with repressed rage and longing for the loving mother who is consciously despised. The gun is an external manifestation of the authoritarian hand. It is worshiped by the patriarchal as a symbol of dominance and used in revenge for loss, not of worldly things and family, but loss of self respect, the paranoid need for masculine power, the true form of which was branded out by the stamp of conformity.
