…in life and on TV and in the movies... that anyone given the right circumstances is capable of killing another human being…With that horrendous thought said I HATE ALL WEAPONS INCLUDING GUNS!
And that is where I stand on the weapons issue, NRA, automatic assault weapons, sharp knives, broken coffee mugs and scissors, baseball bats, frying pans, poison administered in food or liquid or in spoiled foods. (Sorry, I used to write murder mysteries; did a bit of studying then.)
I am not crazy, my Mother had me tested, any-who, but I have been known to get angry and I feel that it is best to not have any weaponry of small individual destruction or massive horrendous destruction near or around me.
That is not to say that I wouldn’t be able to trip you in a stairwell, that was a joke…or not, yes, it really was.
My point is that I do know better than to have access to things that are malicious, why I don’t even use glass drinking cylinders any longer, only plastic, since I am way too clumsy and the possible broken glass could hurt me or someone else!
We all know that semi-automatic assault rifles cannot be used for hunting, since the game would be annihilated and then no one has any dinner.
The mentally ill should be examined on a regular basis and in home visits should be made to make sure their environment is one with no dangerous items such as arsenals available to acquire with only one other adult to stop them if they decide they want to kill, but kill them to get to it all! Carrying a card saying they are under a doctor’s care too for mental illness I don’t think is carrying things too far either… after all we are nothing if we cannot stop with the shunning of the mentally ill! They need to be cared for and watched cautiously/continually with love and concern and then maybe some will need to go to hospitals when the signal goes off that they are beyond a parents abilities to handle, make that before.
People, we are a nation of amendments misunderstood. The second amendment was written before there were semi-automatic assault weapons! So all you card carrying NRA people, unless you are using flintlocks with musket balls than don’t tell me this is your right to bear arms that is unless you mean bare arms!
One of my Facebook buddies posted another horror today of how well we Americans are handling that freedom, in the last week since those innocent babes of 20 strong and six faculty and one Mom of the mentally ill boy and he killed himself hundred of others have committed many more insane shootings with weapons that were easily accessible. My bath should be as easy for me to access… that’s another issue, which has made me wish that I could be licensed to have the ability to enter all buildings without needing assistance when they don’t have automatic doors that are ADA approved!
But I digress...sure the discussion is on, as it well should always be.
Although, I do believe it is way past the time that we all should be just giving lip service to the possibility of better gun control and we SHOULD GET THE JOB DONE!
Just read the article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/
I think it is an eye opener for any with the idea of putting this way too important topic on the back burner AGAIN!
Sure we in America have many rights, and I thank GOD every day for them, but even when we know how lucky we are to live here we have to realize we too have flaws that we need very much to rectify and change to make this place the true AMERICA that is safe for all peoples, especially the youngest of us, our futures.
On that note of some note, allow me to be the first to wish all of a very happy good night and kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with the Sandys and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?!
