Guns

While I am not a supposed “liberal”, (whatever that is implied to mean these days, seems more like invective in today’s modern parlance) questioning the bravery or willingness to fight and kill perfect strangers over an theological or political ideology is not necessary to this discussion nor warranted. The U.S. has a traditionally violent gun culture with many advocates suggesting that to not want a gun in the hands of anyone, (well actually, that varies depending on who you may speak to. Many pro-gun folks I’ve personally encountered are also affiliated with historically aggressive White power organisations) is akin to cowardice. And to imply that the bravery you speak of is responsible for the United States, you’ve just proved by point. Very few but the most indoctrinated Aboriginal Americans and American Africans would call the groundwork applied to build the U.S. anything other than what it was and is, genocide. To deny this reality would be like denying Andrew Jackson ever held office. Cuba, Puerto Rico, Iraq, Iran, Columbia, Nicaragua, Kosovo, and the Filipinos who still struggle to expose American atrocities during the Philippine-American War of domination. The national myth may support your views, but factual colonialist American history documents a very different paradigm.

Should this, in fact, prove to be correct information, you will see that (ultimately) there will be no penalties exacted from the gun dealer! He’ll get off with great ease.
You’ll never see him doing “hard time” and he obviously has no conscience.

This “right to bear arms” bull is NOT guaranteed by the nation’s Constitution. Why not, if the rightwingers in America insist … as they stridently do … on bearing arms, restrict them to the arms available to the men who signed the U.S. Constitution? They insist that hunters must have the right. That’s fine, but let’s make it a sport … more truly, if you will. Only guns from the early post-Revolutionary War period may be used. Gun manufacturers can retool and make plenty of money; think how many weapons would have to be made so that the gun fanatics can rebuild their arsenals! Last time I looked, dead was still dead.

Each time a slaughter of humans takes place, the good people, of whatever town is the scene say, “But that kind of stuff doesn’t happen here”! Well, guess what, good people! IT JUST DID! And you, like all the others before you will, ultimately, DO NOTHING!
