Guns and Tears, Part 5

What occurs to me is that it is very soon, too soon, since Guns and Tears, part 4 discussed the continuing epidemic of gun violence which goes on unrelenting.  On Friday night, in Aurora, Colorado, a movie crowd was attacked by a man with a semi-automatic rifle, shotgun and Glock pistol.  12 more dead, 58 wounded, and a weekend of horror including disarming an apartment full of explosives. 

The apartment contained 6000 rounds of ammunition.  The gunman had obtained bullet proof gear similar to what SWAT teams use.  This attack had been planned.

Today, there are more families and friends mourning.  Another lone gunman, perhaps mentally imbalanced, says the NRA.  All weaponry obtained legally.  And the kicker, political blab is "nothing would have been different" if we had better control of guns.  Excuse me, but that doesn't make any sense.  Guns do kill people, dead.  They wound and they will permanently affect those who survived, and the families of those who were killed.  "Our prayers and condolences are with the families of the victims."  Talk about meaningless, empty words.

Unlimited magazines, unlimited ammunition purchase, and unlimited deregulation of firearms equal unlimited killings.  When will we, law-abiding citizens, who as part of our 2nd Amendment rights, to not bear arms, yell loud enough to say this is indeed the time, the best time, to discuss rational ways to control access to these killers.

I have postulated that our political class should be made up entirely of females.  That would at least give us a rational explanation for politicians not having balls.

Guns DO kill people.

Thanks for stopping by.
