Gosh, and I really thought that smart people knew the answer

The recent shooting at the mall in Columbia, Maryland (another “gun free” zone) is a tragedy; three young adults dead.  Katy Perry (a singer of some note, I’m told) had a couple of tweets on the subject of CHANGE!:

Change?  “When will there be ACTUAL change?”  Answer is rather simple in concept:

It isn’t just asking for change, Ms. Perry – what kind of change do you desire?  Is it about the guns or is it about the people with the guns?  If it is about the latter, the shooter was old enough to buy that shotgun legally (Vice President Joe Biden’s weapon of choice).  No ill named “gun show loophole” was involved; there was not a private sale.  The shotgun came from a Federally licensed FFL gun shop.  He passed the background check.  Remember, a shotgun is NOT one of those “scary black” rifles that are simply semi-automatics – a technology that is well over 120 years old. Nor a handgun.

ACTUAL change?  Simple: 

when the hearts of men change so as to leave others alone and not seek their stuff or retribution. Something, however I’m afraid, with the current culture that I doubt will change.

No, the change is not about changing the guns or the laws about the guns.  It’s about one man’s intent towards another.

So, how would you, Ms. Perry, go about doing that?
