Character, Not Control, Is the Antidote to Evil

"Psychologist Dr. Jordan B. Peterson says that we can have no insight whatsoever into our capacity for good until we understand our capacity for evil."
"In the aftermath of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, much of our national zeitgeist has been the consideration of restricting gun access as a means to restrict man’s capacity for evil. Yet, we see in other nations that have taken this course of action that violence is not eliminated by gun restriction, it simply becomes more creative. Those who have chosen to commit evil find other ways—nail bombs, knifings, vehicular mass murder. The weapon isn’t the problem, the choice to commit violence is."
"There is no government agency capable of monitoring our every action, our every violent thought, our every evil instinct. No government organization can prevent every act of violence because every act of violence is an expression of human power. There is no bureaucracy that is more powerful than the actions of individual humans who are free to choose to be evil."
