I swear, if I read so much as ONE MORE article on how we need gun control in this country, Im gonna vom.
Yesterdays HORRIBLE shooting (and my thoughts, prayers and condolences do go out to all victims, including families and witnesses) was aired, here, with a large and lengthy segment of the type of guns used for the perpetration of the heinous acts. I just KNEW it was a precursor to the calls for gun control.
Well, fuck that, thank you. Want to know how many guns kill people per year in this country? Well, Im happy to tell you my guess. NONE!! PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE!!!!!
Unless I missed the newest issue of Guns & Ammo where the gun was introduced that will walk around of its own volition hitting targets it plans to, then people are still in control. What we need is PEOPLE control.
Its already kinda tough for Law Abiding Joe Public to get a handgun/other, with the cooling off period and paperwork, etc. How many of the shooting crimes do you suppose are perpetrated BY the legal and registered owner of the weapon used? I dont have the statistics and, quite frankly, have had a shitty enough few days that I dont really care to try and dig, at present, but I will wager its a relatively small percentage we are talking about, here. Do you really think more legislation will prevent criminals from getting what they want? Has it ever?
If Im not mistaken, which I may be and, again, I am really not in the mood to go look, there have been only two successful removals of guns from citizens in the world...one was Nazi Germany and the other a Castro Cuba. Gee, how wonderful that we could be just like those two.
Personally, I believe in gun control, as follows:
1. Take a stable stance
2. Use both hands if necessary
3. Lean on item to stabalize, if necessary
End of story
