A gun is a weapon of mass destruction; an invention of man created in our pathetic attempt to control nature and exert power over our fellow citizens.
In America today, we have a plague of mass shootings carried out by deranged individuals with easy access to weapons which are intended to kill as many people as quickly as possible. NO OTHER industrialized nation has this problem.
Because you know when they say, “Guns aren’t the problem! People are the problem..!” They’re full of shit.
Guns are the problem. Guns are clearly the fucking problem and if you can’t see that you must be one o’ them gun-humpers.
Australia banned these weapons in 2006 after one mass shooting event and the ban has held. The Australian people didn’t bitch and moan about the assault rifle ban because they don’t have the same twisted, perverted fascination with guns Americans have. Aussies saw a huge problem that needed fixing and they placed the public good above corporate profits.
If Americans were even remotely concerned about what is best for the public good, they wouldn’t mind inconveniencing themselves by making it harder for the “bad guys” to access these weapons. That is what societies which claim to be civilized do: they make sacrifices for the benefit of all concerned.
But Americans think that our sacred “right” to fire a machine gun into the air on the 4th of July or play Rambo with our militia buddies in the backwoods is more important than the “right” of innocent people not to be blown apart by some nutcase exercising his Second Amendment “right” to buy a gun to massacre his fellow citizens.
If I could afford to move to another country, I would escape from this hellhole in a heartbeat and leave all the gun-humping cowboys to exercise their right to freely blow each other’s brains out.
We will never have a sane policy on guns in this country because there are too many macho assholes in America who put their unhealthy obsession with firearms above the safety and well-being of their families. They treat the Second Amendment like the figgin’ Holy Grail.
Fire away!
