Some cultures ARE wrong

77. Maybe,

but when he writes things like this.

The gun culture, where 500 children die every year because people think it's ok to give a child a gun as a gift is also wrong. It is a contributing factor to the massive amount of pain and suffering wrought upon tens of thousands of people every single year. The reason politicians have no spine to pass sane gun laws is because of this twisted culture. They're afraid of losing the next election over it.

then I have to question his honesty, 500 children a year die because people think it's ok to give a child a gun as a gift? Not even the FBI or DOJ stats back that up.

I guess you could say that 500 kids die each year due to gun violence, but most of that is, tragically, in the inner cities due to the ongoing gang/drug wars, crushing poverty, lack of jobs, etc., not because of guns given to kids as gifts.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't need nor want someone, who probably has no idea of the rural life, telling me that my way of life is wrong and that I need to re-think the way I was raised, the way I raised my kids, and the way my kids are raising their kids.

Here's a picture of where I grew up, this is what we saw from our front yard.



Good times, sure do miss living there, may move back in the next few years.
