Mr. Biden laying a wreath at the elementary school where a gunman murdered 19 children and two teachers last week. Biden telling reporters, he is optimistic about a bipartisan plan to tackle violence. Quote, things have gotten so bad that everybody's

getting more rational about it, unquote. Not counting suicide, 20,000 Americans are killed every year by firearms. Some analysis on that are hit. The president's approval rating, dropping to an all-time low. New survey from Reuters, a left-wing news organization, finds just 36 percent, now approve of Mr. Biden's performance, 59% disapprove.

Bush in the aftermath of 9-11. Climate zealots attacking the world's most famous painting in Paris, a protester disguised as an elderly woman in a wheelchair smeared the Mona Lisa with debris while screaming, people are destroying the

earth. Officials at the Lourb Museum immediately shut down the exhibit. Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the world. The Mona Lisa was completed in 1517. It's worth $870 million. No permanent damage was done by that loon.

The mass murder of children last week in Texas will haunt this country for a while.

America does have a violence problem, and every fair-minded person knows it. We live in a rather chaotic society where standards of civility are dropping to dangerous levels. Barbarians have breached the gates, and there are some very vivid reasons why. First parenting. About 40% of children in the USA are now born out of wedlock. Many are abandoned by their fathers, raised in poverty by troubled mothers. The government can do little, but remove children from dangerous homes. Often the child finds no relief in foster care, and the derelict parents avoid any kind of legal sanction.

Abused and neglected children can turn into violent monsters. Second, crime and no punishment. The justice system has collapsed. cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York. It is now easy to commit violence because punishment is scant. Heavily armed drug gangs run wild, murdering at will. Banning weapons will not stop these criminals as they don't purchase legal guns anyway. With more than 400 million firearms in circulation, the black market gun trade will thrive if firearms are banished. The solution is to federalize all gun crimes, including illegal possession, and then harshly punish

offenders who are convicted. But Congress will not do it. No explanation is ever given. Finally, the political parties. Liberal Democrats seek to ban almost all firearms. Conservative Republicans want the legal option to arm themselves against criminals and possibly an out-of-control future federal government. There will be no compromise here. Now to a partial solution. States should individually regulate guns. That means if ARs are deemed a public safety medicine, Philadelphia,

they can be banned within the city limits. But in very rural Wyoming, for example, citizens might approve of those guns. The Second Amendment allows Americans to use firearms for protection. But bazookas are illegal. Public safety must be defined by the individual states, not the federal government. Finally, red flag laws are desperately needed. Nineteen states already have them. Law enforcement must be able to act if an unstable person is issuing violent threats. Those situations should be aggressively investigated with the legal authority to confiscate weapons from miscreants. Armed loons threaten every one of us.

The truth is, we can do something about gun violence in this country, but not with phony ideology and constitutional violations. We need discipline and compromise. Not going to be easy, obviously.

appearing in low-budget monster flicks like The Revenge of the Creature and Tarantula. Iswood transformed into a movie star in the 1960s, appearing in popular westerns like a fistful of dollars and the good, the bad, and the ugly. After the debut of Dirty Harry in 1971, Clint became the highest grossing actor in the world. He then turned his attention to directing and also kept acting.
