He posits\u200b that the erosion of\u200d parental guidance, especially \u2062from fathers, is\u2064 spreading beyond\u2062 home boundaries, manifesting in public turmoil as young individuals use violence as a default \u2063mechanism for conflict resolution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Call for Fatherhood:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WATCH: Super Bowl Champ Harrison Butker shifts \u2064the focus from \u200dgun control to family structure in light of the Kansas City parade tragedy:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think guns are the issue.
