Another group of citizens was killed by a gun-toting lunatic. How else can I describe the feeling, when average day fella’s shamed, insulted or angered by another to find a solution to their problem with a gun? The insanity of gun violence is seeping into Canada as well. I say seeping because what else can you call the violent Americanism of residential gun violence but a wound that will not heal, a wound that will eventually destroy our southern neighbor’s democracy? While blank-minded fools think guns are there to protect them and the republic they claim to support, it is weapons, firearms, guns, or whatever you want to call them that will bring American Freedom to not only a standstill but bring it down, issuing in an American Totalitarian Reign that professes to protect the average American.
Oh, America, you fools, you fools. The choices you have made have brought your death, chaos, and a future full of oppression and fear. Your elected officials are mostly in the pockets of the gun manufacturers and Pentagon lobbyists, all fascinated by new weapons technology. If you work in such factories, be brave and leave. Find a job that is upbuilding and humanitarian, not one that causes the nation to BLEED. Is the responsibility of gun ownership too heavy for some of your fellow citizens? Maybe. Let’s suggest a few ideas that may help.
1. Firearms should not reside in homes, but in central facilities where a citizen can go, and get their weapon freely. Idea…out of sight, perhaps out of mind. If a member of a gun club, all firearms should be stored in a central facility.
2. Gun ownership must be regulated. Initial personal face-to-face investigations and interviews of new potential owners and other owners need to be done at a five-year interval. Initially, and then every five years. Psychological, attitudinal l and lifestyle investigations are to be required. Persons of special interest to the police need further secure investigation.
3. Gun ownership is to become a federal protocol, not a state or provincial issue.
4. Those who have mental health, criminal, or other lifestyle issues need further investigation and consideration. No one is to be allowed to pass stringent protocols.
5. Ownership of assault rifles, and explosive and explosive weaponry should be outlawed.
6. Those who break these laws and regulations need to be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
7. Places, where the public congregates, should have full well trained security available.
I do not know about you all, but I am sick and tired of the platitudes I hear about the 2nd amendment, and the gun lobbies’ propaganda. Like the “Boss” sings…what good is war? Absolutely Nothing”.
Weapons of mass destruction like assault rifles, explosives, and the like are only useful to our military.
Do such weapons have a place in our society? “Absolutely NOT”.
To the gun lobby, the Pentagon backroom boys, and the National Rifle Association all I can say is we have had enough of your bullshit. Here’s an idea folks. How about we hunt these mothers Fer’s down, and give them a piece of our existence, our fear, our fatalistic future? What if these bastards’ children were threatened as ours are? Politicians are in the NRA’s pocket too, how about you all? Like a piece of this action as well? This horrible situation, where mass shootings happen regularly MUST STOP.
Remember folks, a few wise words from a little giant of a man, “no man can hurt me without my permission”(Gandhi). Your society has given the weapon dealers permission to put you in front of these weapons. Take that permission back, explain what the 2nd amendment truly means, and bring peace back to our lands.
