The Democrats always have to do something to fix every problem in the world. You can't be allowed to hurt yourself or someone else or the environment. After the mass murder in Newtown, CT, Barack Obama said that something has to be done to prevent this from ever happening again. That is setting us up for sure disappointment. Unfortunately, I have no doubt that another mass murder will happen again.
In fact, another incident just happened early last week when the guy in Texas attacked a bunch of innocent people with a knife. So, now what? Do we pass knife control regulations? Do we need to register our knives? Should we outlaw butcher's blocks for the kitchen that hold more than seven knives? Are convicted felons allowed to own knives? What about those large assault knives - should they be outlawed completely?
Of course, a lot of people are killed by hammers. Should those be outlawed? Sometimes explosives are used to kill people. Why don't we outlaw dynamite and plastic explosives? You can rig up a propane tank to make a powerful bomb, so there go the gas grills. People have been known to run over someone with a car or even get drunk and drive and kill innocent people. Even women and children get killed this way. Better get rid of the cars. Oh yeah, baseball bats and tire irons are used to kill people. America's pastime is going to be a thing of the past, and I hope you don't have a flat tire.
By the way, murder by any means is against the law. So, I guess that means we don't have murders committed anymore. It's against the law for felons to own or carry guns, so I guess they don't carry them anymore. Armed robbery is against the law, so that never will happen again. And if we pass a law making it against the law for people to own guns, that will work just great. No gun related deaths will ever happen again.
Isn't all of this just ridiculous? The felons will still be able to get a gun without a background check. You might as well make mental illness against the law. This stuff will all work just as well. The president said this is not about politics, but it absolutely is. If the real goal was to minimize the effects of these type incidents in schools, we would put armed guards in the schools. The Democrat/Liberal motto is this: just do something that looks like you care. Even though it won't work, at least you proved that you cared by doing something.
Furthermore, the politicians wouldn't need armed guards anymore with all of the new gun control regulations preventing gun violence. If their guards are allowed to protect the politicians and themselves, why can't we protect ourselves and our families? Concealed carry permits at least make criminals wonder whether they will be attacking or robbing a person that can defend him or herself.
This MessAPolitico isn't going to make anyone safer except criminals. Many of the worst cities for gun crime in the USA have the most restrictive gun laws. Please don't make America as safe as Chicago or Washington.
