(22,240 posts)And I should like to add, a far greater one than any of those out there thinking that their guns are going to solve their problems in life, be it a hobby, a possible tool to defend oneself, or what it really is, which is something that is not needed in the society we live in today.
When the 2nd amendment to the Constitution was written, such things and magazines holding multiple rounds of ammunition did not exist.
Killing children with assault rifles were impossible tasks being such weapons did not exist. This is NOT what the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution is all about nor was it intended to be.
Other such horrific hate crimes seem to be so rampant in today's world. How shameful we have become. It is our responsibility to STOP this and STOP it now while we can and YES, NOW IS THE TIME if there ever was indeed "a time".
This is a new growing phenomena that is a direct result of a very sick sad world which segments of our society have found the need to morph into -- a type of societal thinking that a gun is a necessity, a society that doesn't mind lashing out at others for necessarily no good reason at all, a society that calls each other foul names on message boards because they couldn't do it looking at the person face to face. Ignorance is bliss or so they say.
I have a friend that bought a gun recently -- a elderly woman. She bought it because she is afraid that she might get assaulted when out shopping at the local mall which is not only stupid but dangerous, as this woman has a myriad of medical problems and is on a lot of drugs and then she flaunts this gun?
I think I'll take my chances personally and just keep on living best I can and continue to stay away from people that have guns. I've seen nothing but negative results by owning a "piece". Nope.
As for you, I commend your line of thinking and your ability and willingness to share it with others.
May the force be with you!
