Guns...more important to discuss than the Fiscal cliff that got pushed to the side...wtf

The Debate on Gun Control
 
 
 
 
 

 
Gun control...really? This is the best topic the society could come up with even weeks after the Connecticut shooting? WOW...very sad. So it's time for Victor to blow your mind away with some good facts to know about guns, people, 2nd amendment right, and criminals.

Let's start off with guns.

Definition;

1. a weapon consisting of a metal tube, with mechanical attachments, from which projectiles are shot by the force of an explosive; a piece of ordnance.

2.any portable firearm, as a rifle, shotgun, or revolver.

3.a long-barreled cannon having a relatively flat trajectory.

4.any device for shooting something under pressure: a paint gun; a staple gun.

5.Slang. a person whose profession is killing; professional killer: a gangland gun.

So to start off, nowhere in this definition does it state the purpose of what a gun is for. Most people would say it's for self defense, hunting, sport. But what was its sole purpose in history and who invented it? Easy, the Chinese. "Firearms were invented in the 12th century in China, after the Chinese had invented gunpowder in the 9th century, These inventions were later transmitted to the Middle East and to Europe. The direct ancestor of the firearm is the fire lance, a black powder-filled tube attached to the end of a spear and used as a flamethrower was sometimes placed in the barrel so that it would fly out together with the flames." So to start off, if you want to blame someone start with china…oh wait hold on. I think I remember an article I read a few weeks back right after the Connecticut shooting from the leader of china to America. I believe he said that we need to control our gun output to the American people so we don't have as many deaths by guns. Well china, your ancestors are to blame for the invention of gunpowder AND guns, so start by blaming yourselves before you blame Americas 2nd amendment right to bear arms.

Now that guns are taken care of let's move to people/criminals. 99% of criminals who kill with guns have obtained them any way possible. Does the American government really think they are going to be able to stop all deaths by guns just by simply making stricter gun laws…I don't think so. If someone wants something bad enough they will work to great lengths to get it, it's human nature. Take us as Americans as an example. We wanted freedom from Europe and did whatever it took to obtain it, and guess what…it worked! With billions of guns and ammo floating around the world today, it would almost be impossible to stop gun trafficking and even if it could be done, then they better also lock up all the gunsmiths in the world, burn every gun making book, whip gun blueprints off the internet and everyone's computers, and while man kinds knowledge of guns in order to stop people from making homemade guns, which if not made properly could be more deadly than real guns. Face it it's impossible to stop deaths by guns. The best thing the world can do is not force people to give guns back to the government, but how about teaching people proper gun safety, duh!

Treat it like sex end, if we can teach people at a young age the proper way to handle a firearm and safely use it with teaching wrong and rights, maybe we could stop some gun deaths. It would also be a very good early stage to detect people who may be thinking about using guns to harm people, it just makes since. When sex end reached the classroom it was to teach us the rights and wrongs of sex and how to protect ourselves from STD's and safe ways to have sex. Now don't get started on the fact that many people think it's not working because so many young teens are getting pregnant. If you research back far enough into culture, most teenagers were considered adults by the age of 14, and if they don't act like adults because you think our society is corrupted, then your also wrong. Most of the time parents/guardians are the ones to blame for not teaching their children how to be responsible in the future and take care of themselves. We have some may amenities at our disposal that not only are parents getting lazy with doing things, children see this and follow in their footsteps. So if you have a arrogant child who is not responsible and is a lazy POS, blame yourself first.

Back to guns though…the early American fore fathers thought that the 2nd amendment was the right thing to do for the country at the time…as far as I can tell nothing has changed. People everyday keep guns around and use them to protect themselves, family, and property for all the right reasons and guess what…you never hear about those people. Never do you hear how some 80 year old man saved the day at a robbery in a casino because he had a weapon and scared robbers away before they harmed anyone(yes this recently happened). The news and the government only tell you about the worse cases in almost everything. There is a lot of good out there that never hits the airways.

So you may be wondering where I am going with this topic that seems to have jumped all over the place and then back again. Well here it is; since the 2nd amendment was put in place a long ass time ago, there is nothing you can do about trying to stop people from having guns. Use that billion dollars that you were going to put towards a bank bailout and put it into gun safety. Make it a mandatory class just like drivers training. Could you imagine a world with untrained drivers? Holy shit you wouldn't see me near a road! Same way goes for guns, since there is a large group of people around the world who are too lazy, arrogant, and unwilling to take full responsibility for gun ownership and safety.
 


Regulate firearm safety, not guns!
