First; let me say, that I am not for the rights of anyone who plays with guns, especially any NRA members. Does anyone remember the tragic events that happened in Phoenix, when a Senator was shot in the head. Remember all the carnage, that some political freak, let lose on, more than a handful of unlucky individuals?
Anyway some politically motivated wind bag on MSNBC, who is constantly saying while newscasting; that bigger clips were responsible for those peoples death's in Phoenix. No! It was the perp's wrong thinking, wrong actions, thoughtlessness, and madness that was responsible for those shootings. Now guys, here's a stupid question, just to prov a point; is the gun responsible for shooting those people? God, I hope you guys got this questions right. The obvious awnser is "NO!" Inanimate objects can't kill people, and bullets alone can't kill people. So people, who's responsible, for killing people? This is another no brainier question. Drum roll; "people kill people!" People don't even need guns; loaded or not, to kill. Look, humanity will continue to kill, with their bare hands, if need be; without the use of guns or bullets.
Maybe people have come up with, better and more efficient ways to kill people lately, but when the axe of responsibility falls; "it's the shooter, and not the gun, that's responsible for any gun related killing!" I hear politicians, crazy lefty Democrats, green peacers, anti-war freaks and some retarded clowns somewhere, are saying; "if that gun wouldn't of had so many bullets, then those people wouldn't of been killed." Has anyone ever heard of two guns, machine guns, or any other weapon that has a lot of bullets? Here's the thing, if the crazy killers, oblivious family would have given half a rats ass, about the obvious loon, that they were related too. And if they would have gotten him the help, that he obvously so desperately needed. Then I believe, that the tragic shooting, would never have happened! Why? Because there wouldn't of been a shooter, shooting from behind any gun, no matter how big the clip was.
It's really easy to blame all the apples, for what one bad one does. Isn't that the wrong thing, to go and do? Let's look at it like this, you have a gun enthusiasts, and he or she just loves shooting their guns. Now that gun has a clip, that holds extra bullets. He's a professional gun owner, he polishes his gun. He goes to the range with his friends with his gun, and he only shoots his gun on the weekends. After his friends and him are done at the range: everyone goes home, locking up their guns, in their gun shelf's. With the only reason that they use larger clips is; they're to lazy to constantly reload them, while on the practicing range.
Now I'm no gun lover, and I don't go shooting. Still men are men, and they all have different hobbies, that they love doing. Some men love hunting; now I think hunting is rather savage! Yes, I love animals too, but who am I to tell anyone else; that what they love doing is wrong? So why should more then a handful of crazy people. Who kill people with guns; be able to destroy thousands of men and women's gun loving pastimes? With the only real reason being; that a few individuals, that where insane killed some people, while ussing a gun that usses a larger clip.
One: gun's don't kill people, people kill people! Let's not focus on the crazy S.O.B who went completely insane that day, when he killed all those innocent people? Let's not take our rage and anger out on him? Let's blame thousands, upon thousands of gun enthusiasts, whom may own guns with larger clips: simply because they love guns? That makes a lot more sense, then blaming, the person behind and responsible for the killings; right?
Man has been responsible, for all the violent acts in the world, that have ever happened against other men. Wether those men used clubs, stones, knifes, swords or bullets. Men, and not the method for which they killed, is whats really responsible, for innocent people being killed! It saddens me, it sickens me, and it disgusts me; when people blame weapons or victims. Not blaming the insane madmen, whom are really responsible, for all of our and the worlds tragic events. I don't believe that most people, who aren't crazy or criminals; will use bigger clips, in an unlawful way, to kill more people.
Why am I even discussing this? Because, I'm sick of people, that are unwilling to focus on real issues! With the real issue being; it's become accepted in our society to be violent! We are a nation, obsessed with violence; we watch it, we sell it, we buy ticket's to it and we worship those that practice it. Violence has become a way of settling arguments, a way to win wars, and a way to win friends. Violence is everywhere! It's shown in commercials, it's shown on T.V, it's shown in movies, and it's even shown on the world wide web. Violence is accepted and loved in American society, so much so, that we even wear violent slogans on our clothes.
Now to me, at this point in the game, it's a little-late to go and say; "yes, those extra bullets, in that crazy mans gun, were responsible for all those victims deaths!" America wake up! Everyone of us, who has let our children; watch violent movies, play violent video games, or participate in violent sports or groups, is responsible. Without ever saying; "stop!" We as a violent accepting culture, are all responsible, for these types of tragedy's. All of us, in some form or another, has allowed and accepted violence into some aspect of our lives. Violence has been passed down from generation to generation in the U.S. So none of us as a group, has ever had the courage, to go and say: "NO MORE VIOLENCE!"
To say "no-more" to the glamorization of violence, in society and in the media, would be a miracle. I'm not teaching everybody how to deal with their problems; by not using violence. I will also be the first to admit, that I am a violence junkie, who is just as responsible, as everybody else, regarding this problem. I'm just as addicted to violence, as a lot of people in our society. But for me to say; that any weapon is the reason behind, any madman's actions, is completely ridiculous! It's just too easy of an answer to solve such and ext ream problem. Each of us, is responsible for our actions, without the intent to act on those evil thoughts. These types of horrible act's, that keep happening in our society, might one day come to a halt. Millions here and all over the world, might stop, at least a little-trickle of the violence in the U.S and the world. Maybe if our opinions about violence could change, then maybe all the member's in our society might be able to change as well. I don't believe that any society; will ever completly be free from violence, or the madmen whom commit those violent acts. But if society stands up and says; we will not glamorizes these horrible acts! Then maybe one day, the dream of a violent free society, could be achieved. We can only prey that one day that might happen. I for one, am tired of losing some of my friends because of violent acts: aren't you?
