Lets take on the proposed New Gun Laws, particularly the “Assault Weapons Ban” and “High Capacity Magazines“. Now I am all for keeping weapons out of the hands of criminals but, that would not have stopped any of the recent shootings our country has experienced.
These incidents were perpetrated by Mentally Deranged individuals who thought because of their actions they would become infamous, or they thought their actions would get their political or social point across.
None of the recent shooters were “Criminals“.
As for the bans proposed by the lawmakers they would not have stopped any of those shootings. If the shooters had not had “Assault Weapons” they would have used another type of weapon that would have been just as deadly. One can kill just as many people with a Revolver as you can with a Rifle. you just have to reload more. Now the persons who are proposing the bans say ” If they would have to have reloaded less people would have died” Now maybe that’s true but, people would have died never the less.
Students would have died at Columbine, and Newtown. Congresswoman Giffords probably would have still been wounded, Virginia Tech students would have been shot, and people would have been killed in Aurora.
Yes I own weapons, I do not belong to the NRA. I feel it has become a comical farce just trying to exude political power. How about we look at some mental health proposals in this country, getting people who need help the help they need. Let’s look at Extensive Background checks that screen for real problems not turning someone down for traffic tickets or being a Veteran. Remember all the shooters were found to have some type of mental or social disorder. How about Parents watching what their children are up to, what games they are playing, who they are talking to and what’s going on in their lives. Most of their parents said “we knew that he was having some problems but did not realize that he was on the edge of snapping” Well maybe if you would have paid better attention to what they were up to you would have seen signs that they had an issue that could have became a violent crime.
So lets look inward and quit trying to take away the right to possess things that some people don’t think we should have, and quit using tragedies to further their political agendas. (Michael Moore) And speaking of him SHUT UP!!! We don”t need to see the photos of slaughtered children. Isn’t your 15 minutes up yet?
