Something is wrong here, and it’s more than easy access to guns or violence on TV. It’s about lack of love and attachment to loving people early in life.
Meaning of the quote
This quote is saying that the problems we see in society, like people being violent or having easy access to guns, are not the real cause of these issues. The bigger problem is that many people don't get enough love and support from caring people when they are young. This lack of love and connection early in life can lead to problems later on.
