First, this excellent post by raut and then a counter post.
I am interested to hear the thoughts of those of my readers in the US though anyone can share their pov.
You - philosophical, thoughtful, witty. Me - still thinks fart jokes are funny. We should DEFINITELY get together!

Serious gun control is absolutely needed. For far too long the lawmakers have ignored and/or downplayed this blatant threat to all of those living here. 🙂 Naked hugs, my Kenyan brother! Have a terrific weekend!

Seems there is a love affair with guns in your great country

Yes, we need better gun control in the USA. But the political landscape makes that unlikely.
I wonder to what extent the gun problem dates back to slavery, and to the fear of slave owners that there could be an uprising among slaves.

What I ask myself is do these gun owners think they would outrun the army and topple the government?

I admit, I stopped reading the BLATHER on the second referenced blog. Besides the fact that I HATE overly long blog posts, it was the same old-same old. Moreover, does anyone else notice that NONE of the pro-gun folk ever offer possible solutions to the current-day problems of people getting slaughtered?
Naturally I agreed with rautakyy. 😊
It continues to amaze me that so many people put their love and possession of GUNS ahead of the death of children and other innocents.

Well, he/she said they give solutions which many of you ignore like adding more security in schools. And he said no nra member has been convicted of mass shooting or something to that effect & that most gun deaths are from suicide.
It’s a long piece but I read it to the end to see if there is something I am missing.

I hope you read the part they say because abortion is allowed, gun killings are on the rise? That the society doesn’t value life

Their own horrible “god” really doesn’t value life (see the Unholy Bible). So how can a society based largely on Christianity value life?

Gun control:
– a stable stance
– a firm grip with both hands
– proper sight alignment
– relaxed breathing
– gentle squeeze of the trigger.
