hello america!!! this is an update to yesterdays post "JUST WHAT IS GUN CONTROL"...the senseless killings at sandy hook sparked a political showdown over 'gun control' led by obama & yet, there is no outcry for the following...http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/local&id=8964090...this happens a lot more often then we even care to think about or talk about. &, don't forget, there's the 'shaking the baby syndrome' that leads to death.
while there are laws on the books for all homicides, they are not enough to stop them. yeah, i know, i'm stupid but hey, who in america doesn't know about 'DUI's' & yet, almost every day, we see them in the news. hell, i've been guilty of driving drunk however, i was fortunate enough not to have been caught & i didn't run into anything or anyone (THANK YOU GOD)...
there is no answer to preventing someone from taking another persons life---at best, we have to change the 'thinking' of those we can identify as 'possible killers' & man, that's almost an impossible task because you'd have to know the breaking point of everyone. let's be real, not all homicides are planned. we go to clubs to have a good time & yet, if somebody grabs your girls breast, you get in a beef---all it takes is for you to push the other person; they hit their head on a concrete floor & like magic, you're arrested for homicide. while you're 'manning up' for your girl, the DA is going to be telling the jury that you should have walked away.
to 'politicize' gun control because of sandy hook is just a talking point &, more so when you have no plans to actually minimize deaths by bullets. on the other hand, just look at all the deaths caused by cars---we want them safer, we want them faster, we want them with all the bells & whistles & yet, we knowingly drive them too fast, lose control & cause an accident to property or life.
let's just say obama was successful in getting everybody to surrender their guns; i'd bet knives would be next on the list, then he'd have to go after 2x4's & baseball bats.
being realistic, i look at all the money & manpower used in the war on drugs & we all know there isn't a section of america that we can't find somebody willing to sell drugs.
gun control is not the answer...................
