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.
