Shooting in US Society
The US has been destroying Christian moral codes in these years.
In the name of freedom and individualism, anything except money is losing its own inherent value deeply rooted in humanity and the human history.
Accordingly, American rich men have come to be indifferent to killings among poor Americans.
Sept. 16, 2013 - A 34-year-old man opens fire at the U.S. Navy Yard in Washington, not far from the U.S. Capitol and the White House, in an incident in which 13 people, including the gunman, are killed.If they had been rich, those shooters would not have taken action with guns and rifles. But a poor man believing in a value system that the most valuable thing in this world is money and thus those who have little money are nothing might come to hate living in this world where he has no possibility of becoming rich. But he would not like to leave this world alone. He would want to take some others to the hell with him as a kind of revenge. So, he would shoot and kill others before he commits a suicide or he is killed by the police without remorse.

The more Americans love money, the more killings by gunmen would occur.
The philosophy they must believe in is that money is an enemy of the God and thus a big enemy of Americans; a gun and a rifle are an enemy of the God and thus a big enemy of Americans.
But money vs. money and guns vs. guns cannot be a solution. The solution is the word of the God vs. money and the word of the God vs. guns and rifles.
Proverbs 30:14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
Luke 22:52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?So, poverty and love of possession are two main causes of killings by guns and rifles. In order to eradicate the crime of killing others with firearms, you must address poverty issues and worldly desires.
It is the true war for the US: the War on Poverty and Desires.
