it's the gunner, stupid

Aurora Colorado and a well hyped movie that drew hundreds of expectant fans looking forward to an evening of pleasure with friends and relaxation turned out to be the scene of another terrible shooting. A young man lost in the demented darkness of his mind decided to take the lives of people he did not know for reasons we may never know. Now in the aftermath of this horrendous shooting it is inevitable the two sides of an aged fight will once again come to loggerheads and begin their argument about guns and gun control.

The problem is the NRA and its' influence on politicians. This claim is always first on the list of Democrat  reasons for gun violence in America. It is true that the NRA is a very powerful organization in this country. Also powerful in this country is the auto, education, and government worker unions of many stripes. When the Liberals say how powerful the NRA is they forget where that power comes from. The power of the NRA comes from the members of that organization who love their country and willingly give money to a cause they believe in an effort to insure the survival of their 2nd amendment, and in doing that they hope to preserve their gun rights not only for now but for generations to come.

I constantly hear the whines from liberals about the guns' clip holding too many rounds or the gun firing too fast or the gun being too big. The Dems often claim if those objections or certain items were eliminated there would be no more worries and then all the gun problems would be OK. That is all would be OK if just one more little thing could also be done. It would then be OK if, it was registered, oh registered and one more detail, if you were licensed, yeah licensed and almost forgot, if the gun was separated from bullets at home. yep separated and home, Oh and, yes that and then, if the gun was under lock and key and almost forgot this, lock and key and if it were numbered and inspected annually and, course numbered inspected and have to hire more federal workers but well then that brings up one more thing, the workers and if you were checked out annually on the gun and, oh annual check and last thing, if you were mentally evaluated yearly and, this really is the last thing for now OK?evaluation and Fees would need to be instituted to do all these, "and you probably get the idea there will always be one more item to add to the list no  matter what is claimed by the Dems there will always be one more item to add.

Of course I personally believe what the liberals say, don't you? Hell No! It is not the caliber of gun. It is not the size of clip for the gun. It is  not semi-auto or auto. It is not the number of guns. What then do you ask is the problem of all these killings going on in here in the US of A? And I say it is the person behind the trigger of that gun that is the problem. Always has been and always will be and until something is done at that point of the equation then these things will continue as they have been in the past and will never change no matter the number of laws one might institute. 


To those who will lose a loved one in the future as well those who have lost a loved one already I simply ask this, When that loved one is dead on the street will you feel better or more safe if they were shot down with a single shot, semi automatic, or fully automatic rifle or, if they were beaten to death with a baseball bat versus tire iron or, stabbed to death with a hunting knife versus a Kitchen knife or, strangled with a phone line versus a belt or, and the list continues.
