It isn't the gun laws in the States;
IT IS THE CRAZIES THAT OBTAIN THEM.
To commit a gun crime, one can easily purchase an illegal firearm without
abiding by the law. It wasn't the gun that committed the crime; It isn't the
car; it isn't the knife; it is the person.
Law enforcement agencies actively
pursue gun runners, but as a country, people are blind to the real cause of
incidents. Guns are a substantial part of drug activity, prostitution and
organized crime. Why doesn't the public hammer these animals rather than
citizens who have proper sane use of firearms?
The President needs to adjust his understanding
of what is going on. Other countries that have strict gun laws are overrun by
organized crime. Cartels' in Mexico, Columbia, China, Russia, Africa… have a
brutally substantial death rate because of legal restrictions for law abiding citizens.
Organized crime murder hundreds every day, but who in the critic world is
concerned about restricting their use of illegal weapons or abating their behavior.
The murder of nine innocent people
in the church had a number of contributing factors. He had drug influenced
behavior, mental issues and extreme prejudice. Obtaining a weapon of choice for
this creature had no legal restraint for him. Would the anti-gun crowd be
throwing a tantrum if he had used dynamite to commit the crime? No, they
wouldn't. They feed off of the wrong cause. Nine innocent people died
needlessly because society, as a whole, are hiding in the shadows and expecting
paper rules will protect them. We as a people need to fight against the rules
that are not giving the population the responsibility to recognize murders like
this one amongst us. The human rights people need to fight for you and I and
not the criminal.
I am not in defense of someone that
uses a firearm in the commission of a murder or crime; I am sick that these
crimes happen by violent, mentally ill individuals that are unrecognized for
their volatile character. The focus is on a tool
and not the user.
Do I have an answer to stop this
carnage? Yes, and no. We will never, or have ever, seen a world free from
violent crime. Jack the Ripper used a scalpel to butcher innocent woman; was
there groups trying to outlaw surgical tools? As a former bodyguard, I
recognized threat before it escalated. We need to recognize people with
indications of violent behavior and act on it.
Any death by the hand of a killer is
an atrocity to society as a whole no matter what weapon used.
There are nine grieving families
because we are chasing the wrong element.
Please... CORRECT ME
IF I’M WRONG!
