School shootings
America is the
only civilized, at peace country where you have no reasonable expectation of
sending your child to school and having the child return home safe and sound
without having been shot and killed.
That is a monstrous
statement to make, especially as it is true. Only eight weeks and three days have passed and there have been twelve shootings on school grounds.
This is because
of one thing: The Gun!
After the obscenity
that was Sandy Hook all of America should have seen that the right to bear arms
was producing unacceptable results and all guns in private hands should have
been voluntarily destroyed. No! The call went out for even more guns and the
same old tired excuse that guns don’t kill, people kill was heard yet again. Don’t
they yet realize that it is people with guns that kill in mass numbers?
If I buy a gun
and I store it in my house and never touch it then it’s true that the gun will
do no harm. However the moment it is removed from its storage space and ammunition
inserted into its chamber it becomes a deadly weapon.
The argument is
that if everyone was able to carry a concealed weapon then no-one would dare
use his because it would assure that person’s destruction. Back in the olden
days of The Wild West that’s what they did and apparently it didn’t stop anyone from pulling
out his pistol to settle an argument.
The same
doctrine covers nuclear armaments where if every country has them no one will
dare use their own first as that will bring about Mutually Assured Destruction.
That is the MAD doctrine and that too will fail leading to our ultimate
destruction.
The stage is
set. When everybody is carrying a concealed gun a suicide terrorist or
terrorists will attend a Super Bowl game and they will start shooting. Ever
notice how quickly people can get involved in a riot? That’s what will happen
and a whole stadium will be wiped out while the television cameras continue to
run.
After that, who
knows?
It’s too late
for America. The rest of the world can see it, I’m sorry that America cannot.
