After yet another horrifying incident yesterday, when do we actually talk about this?  All those who believe that everyone should be able to have and carry any weapon or firearm at any time says, "Now is not the time to talk about this."  Well, when is??  What better time to talk about 20 young children dead??  WHEN????  I'm NOT talking about a BAN here.  I'm not talking about taking away your rights for those of you who fear enough to believe you must have your guns.  I'm talking about SENSIBLE gun control.

Because we should ALL be carrying Glock 9s like the shooter used yesterday, especially 5-year-olds. All 5-year-olds should be carrying Glock 9s. After all, they shoot 5 bullets per second.  And you never know when you might need to go hunting to feed your family and you don't want the deer or bunny rabbit to have a fighting chance, do you? Blow them away at 5 bullets per second, it'll save you having to tenderize the meat later.  That way, if everyone down to the toddlers is carrying, we'll have a much safer country.

GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, but people with unnecessary assault weapons kill 27 people in practically the blink of an eye.  Whereas, yesterday in China, a man went crazy with a knife in a school there, and although many were injured, not one person died.

We need to learn the difference between sensible gun control and an outright ban. We also need to learn more about our history and what the term a "well-armed militia" actually means (and it does NOT mean everyone should be carrying). We also need to remember that back when our country was founded that firing and re-loading a musket - usually used to actually feed one's family - is completely different than a Glock 9.

When you compound that with the only industrialized nation where we glorify violence as something magnificent to behold and abhor anything sexual, we end up with a psychologically damaged people.  Then you add to that the fact that the political party who is most likely to glorify violence and our gun rights is the same party that fights access to health care and belittles mental health problems as "people who just can't get their act together", and it magnifies exponentially.  I'll give you a good example of what I mean by a country that "glorifies" violence: When I went to see the first "Iron Man" movie, two women who each had their son with them sat in front of me.  Their sons were about 8 years old and sat directly in front of me with a respective mom to the outside.  The first 15 minutes of that movie were horribly violent war scenes with blood and body parts flying everywhere.  The moms and the boys kept munching away on their popcorn and slurping their drinks.  10 minutes later, Robert Downey Jr's character is making out with a female reporter character.  They are well-covered by bedsheets and rolling around, but the implication is that they are naked and having sex - and the two mothers IMMEDIATELY BOTH put their hands up to cover their boys' eyes and giggled and said, "Oh no - you shouldn't be watching this!!!"  I'm sure these same boys will probably go home and play the goriest, bloodiest possible video games in their spare time without a second thought from their parents.
