Accept Guns As The Price Of Freedom & Living In America [View all]

[SoCalMusicLover]

It is an ingrained part of our country's history, and unlike slavery, there will never be a huge social outcry strong enough to change things. There sure ain't gonna be a Civil War to resolve the issue.

People say this is the greatest country in the world. Guys like Trump stand up and say we can make America great again, and one of his ways to do that is MORE GUNS! America Great = More Guns! And guess what, plenty of folks agree with him. EVEN MANY RIGHT HERE ON DU!

In a country where there is extremely little consensus, guns are one issue which crosses party lines. Hillary being elected will change absolutely NOTHING. She will merely break President Obama's record for # of speeches following mass killings.

The bar is raised by the Pulse slaughter though. Be warned, any disgruntled gun owning individual. If you want to be the new champ, you must do better than 49. Don't worry, I'm sure there are a few out there who are thinking they are up to the challenge.

Wrap up the thoughts and prayers. Make sure the media provides coverage of several funerals, with the President making an obligatory appearance along the way. But in the end, move on with life. Because it really is just another facet of life in America.

The bottom line is, your chances of being shot and killed are relatively low. But just enjoy your life as an American, knowing that you could be at a High School, a University, a Middle-School, a Movie Theatre, a 7-11, a post-concert meet & greet, a shopping mall, a Meet Your Representative outside the Supermarket, a Nightclub, a Restaurant, or even asleep in your own bed at home, and suddenly your life might change forever. That's just the price of freedom.
