America's Gun Crazy



Three headlines I came across just today alone (Sunday, July 26, 2015)Lehigh Valley: Man points gun at driver during I-78 road rage incident near exit to route 33

Indiana woman rents gun at indoor range killing herself in front of employees

Trump: Lafayette theater shooting ‘has nothing to do with guns’--
"could have been prevented if moviegoers were allowed to bring more guns with them."



SNL 1975

Yeah it's exactly like that here in the United States!

Rick Perry on Lafayette Shooting:
Let People Take Guns Into Movie Theaters




My Insanely Radical Views
If I had my way we'd eliminate the 2nd amendment. It states, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,..". This was created when we needed to do battle against England and outside nations who once threatened us. This is no longer necessary. It's been replaced by a far superior national military defense force to combat those threats. Anyone who thinks owning guns is sadly mistaken and need to get a grip if they think they are either a deterrent or they can be used to out gun our own government. Especially with government's overwhelming capabilities. Therefore this amendment has outlived the reason why it might have been created.

There's nothing wrong with hunting or target shooting, but guns should be returned when they are done being used for those purposes. Other then these two activities the only things guns are being used for is shooting one another or ourselves. Any coward or criminal can easily pull a trigger. It takes a great deal more guts to confront someone with a knife or other weapon which would result in a far fewer deaths because it requires a great deal more effort then simply pulling a trigger. Few would have the stomach for it. Plus someone running around in the streets, a movie theatre or store with a knife or baseball bat wouldn't stand a chance of taking the same number of lives before they were overpowered.

So no I'm not apologetic nor willing to change my views on why firearms should be completely removed from civilians. Firearms were invented for one purpose only... to kill. If less civilians had possession of them so too would cops have less need for them. A good thing for everyone involved all the way around.


Bernie Sanders seems to agree somewhat with my view

Hence why I continue my support for Bernie Sanders as president
