They're Always Wrong

Whenever something happens like the recent S. Carolina church massacre. Everybody with an .audience rushes to the microphone to pontificate on how to ”solve the gun violence problem.” the only problem is, they are, to a man (or woman) WRONG on what to do to put a stop to it. They trot out all the old “solutions” that have never worked, like registrations of all guns legally owned (it's impossible to list those ILLEGALLY owned, of course), stopping everybody who have gotten upset over a nosebleed from ever owning a gun. Banning returning heroes from owning a gun because they might use it, since we trained to to do so, or putting trigger locks on all guns or keep them in gun safes, to keep people from being able to get them into action fast enough to use them for what they were DESIGNED to do, defend us.

Then there are those infamous “no-gun zones” that shooters SEEK OUT for their shooting sprees. None of these “solutions” have EVER worked. Yet every time a killer emerges with a LEGALLY-bought, stolen, or ILLEGALLY obtained gun and shoots up a bunch of[people, they trot them out, again. They think if they could just BAN guns out of existence, everything would be okay. But that is a STUPID notion; a pipe-dream.” Guns exist. Like toothpaste, you can't put it back in the tube. If guns didn't exist, the people who want to maim and kill would find some other way of doing it, as they did in the years prior to the invention of guns, and the killing would go on. The only way to end gun violence is to KILL those who insist on perpetrating it. Not just go out and kill them, but allow honest, reliable, law-abiding people to own and carry guns so that, when a criminal confronts them, he can be shot to death, not just “put in the prison system” to be abused and angered so that when he gets out, he does worse things than what got him in there, in the first place.

You can't just eliminate guns,” you have to eliminate the people who USE them to hurt others. It's amazing that these incompetent politicians can't figure out something so simple as the truism that a CRIMINAL, who doesn't OBEY laws of any kind, will not obey one that says he can't be armed, or will register his illegal guns, or will stay out of a “gun-free zone. They need to go in another direction, like punishing the USE of a gun in a crime severely enough to keep him off the streets longer. Or just arm honest citizens and let us take care of it more permanently. Law-abiding people don't randomly kill each other over trifles. NON-law-abiding criminals do, and they are already armed. You can't stop it. Ban their guns and they'll get them elsewhere. I've always thought our politicians were incompetent. They are, And the way they handle “gun violence” proves it. (Just common sense)
