Yesterday, I and every other American were saddened to hear of the school shooting in Newtown, CT, where among others, a whole Kindergarten class of innocent kids were murdered by a 20 year old lunatic wielding a gun. The thoughts of those terror stricken children and their heartbroken families just tears at the heart of anyone who has one.
Already, the anti-gun liberals and media are stepping up the cries for more gun control, as they do any time when there is something like this that happens. Even our illustrious leader, Obama, made references to it, and his record on guns is bad.
I am pro-gun. I don't have any, but if I had a job and steady income, I would get one. For more than one reason, one being I'd like one before they are outlawed. Our Constitution gives us the right to bear arms to protect us from the government, which our forefathers knew was very susceptible to corruption. It it any wonder that our corrupt media and government wants more gun laws?
What if we treated alcohol and cars like they treat guns. Every time there is a bad car accident, make more car laws. Make it harder for people to buy cars. Every time alcohol is a factor in car accident fatalities or other fatalities, make better laws to regulate sale and use of alcoholic beverages. Make it harder for people to buy it. Sound insane? Well that is how the left acts with guns. It is a trite saying, but true: Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Adam Lanza didn't even have guns, from what I read and understand. He stole them, so what good did gun laws do in this case? And if he couldn't have gotten guns, he would have come up with another way. It is crazy, and just plain stupid to think more gun laws will help.
Statistics and studies show that taking guns away doesn't solve the issue. In fact, where the gun laws are toughest, crime rises. Why wouldn't it? If you are a criminal, wouldn't it make more sense to rob places where guns aren't allowed? Makes sense to me.
Guns aren't the problem. People are. But if we are going to blame anyone, here are some to consider:
1) TV. How many of these killers get their ideas from watching violent shows and movies where people are constantly getting blown away. Tell me a constant diet of that to someone who is prone to this kind of behavior wouldn't be influenced by that? And yet the same actors who are in these movies are screaming for better gun laws. Really?!
2) Games. There are tons of video games on the market. Again, can you tell me you honestly don't believe kids and young people aren't influenced at all by games where they are killing all throughout the game? Get real.
3) The left. It is amazing how the media and left will jump on any small thing from conservatives and try to paint us as violent and hateful, but yet they overlook it from the left. A couple of examples:
Just recently, a liberal Democrat in Michigan warned "there will be blood" if right to work legislation is passed there.
Also in Michigan, the governor was warned by a pro-union minister, that if he passed the legislation, they would be at his church, and at his daughter's soccer game. Sounds like a threat to me.
There have been several threats made to conservatives, especially in this last election cycle, and they are overlooked. It seems the left is good at threatening and glorifying violence when it suits their needs and purposes.
4) Public schools. Kicking God out of the public schools has not made the USA a better or safer place. Keeping Him in might not eliminate all violence like this, but we didn't have this years ago when we were more of a Christian nation, when kids were allowed to pray in school, when He was allowed to be talked about and mentioned by teachers and administrators. A person would have to be an idiot or a liberal (is there a difference) to not see that there is a cause and effect. We have removed God from the schools, most of government, and they are trying to remove Him from the public eye, and our kids get more violent, people are more filled with hate and despair. We are not a better country than we were when God was acknowledged on all levels, from the schools up to the presidency and Supreme Court.
But lets throw all that aside and outlaw guns. That will make everything perfect and get rid of all violence. Yeah, right. It is typical of humans, and especially liberals, to ignore the cause. They want to blame guns, but God forbid you look at the true solution: Jesus. They could get rid of every gun on earth, and violence and killing would still go on, because guns aren't the problem. People are, people who are evil and sinful, and until they acknowledge God again and look to Him for the solution, nothing will change. But there is no way a politician will ever get it right, especially the liberals who are anti-God. We don't need more gun laws in America. We need more God in America. We need a revival, we need to seek God as a nation and allow God back into our schools, our government, our courts, and our lives. That is what will help stop school shootings, not less guns and more gun laws.
