HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH
This week there was a gun found somewhere on the campus of a school. Later in the week there was another shooting at Fort Hood. I do not deny nor in any way wish to diminish the tragedy of the latter, but in response to what some have said in light of it, there are a few questions that I feel must be asked and hopefully answered. Some have said in light of this tragedy that every soldier should be able to cary a gun on base. While the four lives lost are too many dead and the injured too many injured, the fact remains that this is far fewer than with the other shooting a few years ago, so the first question is doesn't that indicate that the security procedures put i place since that terrible day were at least mostly effective? And if so would not a better response be to tighten those procedures even more? The other question is, if everyone on that base had had a gun, then once one of them heard shots would not all or at least many have pulled out their own weapons and started firing in response, and then between shooting at the wrong people by accident and people getting caught in the cross fire, would not the death toll have ben much higher than four and the injured much higher than what it was? With regard to the school, whoever brought that gun to school was obviously planing some kind of violence, and only the brave actions of the student who reported it prevented that? The Nut Case Rebellious Anarchists (what NRA truly stands for) keep telling us that more guns would make us safer, yet history has shown time and again that all more guns equals is more shooting, more bullets flying, more cross fire and so ultimately more dead. So how many guns do they say or think there needs to b before everyone will be safe? And how many mass shootings do there have to be, how many guns found in places that are supposed to be safe, like schools, how many times must their theory be proved wrong, before everyone sees it for the heap of utter BULL SHIT that i is? In short, HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH?
