-Caveat Lector-
What is it with guns?
Guns don't kill anyone.
The person who pulls the trigger is the responsible party here.
This is all about responsibility. Not about children getting their
hands on guns. Parents, teachers, and other care givers are
responsible for passing on valid information to children. Adults
who purchase guns are expected to act as responsible adults.
Unfortunately, we have come into a time where adults do not
believe that they are liable. How did this happen?
Ask your local chapter of the Illuminati, or the local mafia.
They might know how this all came about, if you don't already
know.
Here are some other thoughts:
Scenario #1:
I have a gas stove. I may choose to leave the gas on and asphyxiate
someone I don't like. What? Do we now ban natural gas,
because it became a 'lethal weapon'? The gas did the
dirty deed? So ban it... right?
Scenario #2:
I see someone I decide I want to do away with... the only
way I can find to do this is to run them over with my car.
Ban the car, therefore, because it has become a lethal weapon...
right?
Scenario #3:
I may choose to pick up a large rock,
and bludgeon someone to death.
The rock then becomes a lethal weapon.
Which did the damage? The rock?
The rock did the damage, therefore we outlaw rocks?
Right?
This is obviously getting to the ludicrous. But I think anyone
can see the point to be made here. If guns are banned, what
will it be next? Kitchen knives? Automobiles? Rocks?
C'mon!
Banning guns is not going to resolve the problem. Locks on guns are
an absolute waste of money as well as time. If someone is breaking
into my house, with the intent and immediate threat to kill a member
of my household, I don't want to have to fumble around to find a key,
to unlock my defense. I want my defense immediate. And since I'm
not in the habit of wearing a bullet proof vest day in and day out, the
only way to fight back is to fight fire with fire. Fire power, that is.
Safe use of guns will help, but still will not resolve the problem overall.
Leaving the Constitution alone, and as it stands is what the forefathers
intended; bearing arms for personal protection, not for murder.
Educating people about guns is an alternative solution, but will not
keep those who are turned to use the weapon in a durogatory manner,
from using it. If only outlaws, police and nuts are going to be allowed
to have guns, what have I left to defend myself with? It's almost
laughable
if this weren't such a serious issue.
Banning guns is definitely not the answer.
Education and RESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR is.
Laws, if there are any to be improved upon, should be sending a very
serious message to the general public that irresponsible use of firearms
is not acceptable and is not tolerated in a civil society.
Following through with appropriate penal codes should be the mandate.
