Gun Control Can we talk about<br />

it? One would think it would be easy<br />

<strong>to</strong> discuss. Everyone wants <strong>to</strong> keep guns<br />

out of the hands of those that would kill,<br />

without taking it from those that will likely<br />

not kill. But will taking all high assault type<br />

weapons out of the market place work?<br />

Why would anyone need a device that can<br />

increase your shooting power <strong>to</strong> spray<br />

400 <strong>to</strong> 800 rounds of bullets in a minute.<br />

Is this in any war strategy? Like “Ok boys<br />

just go <strong>to</strong> <strong>to</strong>wn and mow them down like<br />

dogs.” To be sure, we have a few countries<br />

like Russia that still advocate solving political<br />

“problems” with genocide and poison.<br />

Nonetheless, most countries <strong>to</strong>day prefer<br />

<strong>to</strong> teach marksmanship and use dialog <strong>to</strong><br />

solve our border problems.<br />

It is certain we have a madman running<br />

our Nation who is doing nothing but<br />

political drag, with comedy bits like <strong>to</strong>ssing<br />

bread <strong>to</strong> starving people, interspersed with<br />

violent and hateful rhe<strong>to</strong>ric <strong>for</strong> the benefit<br />

of his admirers.<br />

But we do know almost everything he<br />

<strong>to</strong>uched goes <strong>to</strong> shit really fast. Yet he<br />

was elected, and so we are bigly stuck with<br />

him. Meaning he has a few more <strong>years</strong> of<br />

de-constructing America’s compassion and<br />

hope. Others call it liberal tears and snowflake<br />

logic <strong>for</strong> not getting the Christian<br />

biased leaders, white supremacist, conservative<br />

judges, who are actively removing<br />

barriers <strong>to</strong> safety, and pollution, Saying is<br />

in fact really good <strong>for</strong> us.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n they say now stand <strong>for</strong> the flag mother<br />

fucker or I will send my kids <strong>to</strong> beat the<br />

hell out of your gay ass kids.<br />

And it could be they are right, that some<br />

how racism, xenophobia and other <strong>for</strong>ms<br />

of physiognomy keep America in check.<br />

Women are in need of a good fuck, gays<br />

need a good beat-down now and then<br />

and children must be <strong>to</strong>rtured <strong>to</strong> grow up<br />

strong <strong>for</strong> a world that has people intentionally<br />

inflicting violence on each other.<br />

I think that is a load of crap used by the<br />

oppressor. One great argument is that gun<br />

deaths have gone down, and they have but<br />

only because we have so many gun shootings<br />

we know how <strong>to</strong> treat them faster<br />

and have higher success rates, and maybe<br />

because hospitals had more reporting<br />

requirements.<br />

In the in<strong>for</strong>mation age one thing is <strong>for</strong><br />

sure, we just don’t know. Gun control has<br />

become such a “hot <strong>to</strong>pic” issue the CDC<br />

has not completed any comprehensive gun<br />

study in 15 <strong>years</strong>.<br />

If taking a gay beating every week would<br />

end gun violence I would get in line even<br />

if I could not give blood. But we are not<br />

looking at the data, we just don’t know.<br />

Using the Dickey Amendment, Congress<br />

has effectively blocked expansive CDC<br />

research on the public health effects of<br />

firearms. Fixing that may be a start.<br />
