Michael Shank: Our response to the Virginia Tech shootings involved calls for background checks, early warning systems, enhanced campus security, etc. We weren’t talking about our culture of violence; the focus was on the person, not the society or the culture. The person was at fault, campus security was at fault…Congresswoman Norton: The culture of violence is national and it has been there since we settled this country. When you come into a country and you settle it by shooting your way across, guns become a part of the culture. And we’ve never lost that, even when we no longer needed guns.
