It’s nice to see man of law, like myself, around these parts of the web. First of all, I want to start by congratulating you on capturing that bugsy lunatic, who was about to shoot up the theater. I see where you could be in on edge with the whole gun control debate. As a man of law, I agree with you that that fire arm on your side makes you feel much safer when you’re enforcing laws.
The fact is that just because you and I have guns, doesn’t mean that we’re going to go to public places to shoot everyone. I’m sure you know that every crime has an intention behind it and every criminal has a motive. Without a motive your case doesn’t stand shit in the courts. That motive is what drives the finger to pull the trigger in high-risk civilians. You mentioned mentally unstable people, which I defined in my talk about gun control as high-risk civilians 2 days ago. I don’t get how everyone can go around honking the trumpet of gun control and blaming availability of guns as a leading cause of shootings.
I wonder how many people would die if a gun is place in the center of a table with people surrounding it? The answer is none, because a stationary object like a gun can’t kill anyone. I wonder how many people would die if a man with a gun strapped in his holster walks into a bar, grabs a drink and walks out? Here’s where it gets interesting. Just because he has a 44 on his hip doesn’t mean he’s going to kill someone.
You know how hard it is to kill someone? You know how much convincing you need to put into your heart, brain and soul to do something? I took lives as a part of my time in the 2nd world war. I couldn’t raise my gun at anyone until I saw that if I didn’t do it, I would be run through with a bayonet. People just look over the whole story where there needs to be a reason for someone to be disturbed enough to kill someone.
The other argument people say is that guns make it easy for people to mass murder. So, you mean you would rather have someone kill less people with a knife than emptying a clip into a crowd. You know what I think? That’s fucking bullshit! It’s like saying I don’t have water so I would just prefer poison, because it’s the easiest to obtain right now. That’s so fucking stupid doesn’t it? Well so does blaming mental problems on inanimate objects. Instead of dealing with problems that lead to this disturbance that forces folks into animals, we’re going to blame objects that can’t move unless someone moves them, let alone kill anyone.
You know my buddy bought a muscle car the other day. He has those 8 cylinders that roar louder than a lion. That beast can move through the streets like a beam of light. He just has to drive through a crowd and you’d have the same casualties. The point is. The world is filled with objects than can act as vessels for letting out frustrations caused by mental illness like cars, knives, cars, bats, hell you can even use a chair if you were really disturbed. We can’t blame the objects for the harm we cause. Sometimes we have to man up and say to ourselves that people oughta take responsibility for their shit. You just can’t go around blaming surroundings for shitty things that people do. Blame yourself because you can make decisions. A gun can’t.
