Background checks, absolutely! Assault weapons ban, absolutely!

But…violent people have one thing in common. They did not experience parenting behaviors and practices generally recognized as supporting the healthy development of children. This is not to say that everyone who experiences unsupportive and harmful parenting becomes violent. Indeed, most do not. But, if we want to put an end to violence we must work to improve the overall quality of parenting.
