This is
why.
For those
gun people who are all worried that we non-gun people want to take away your
damn guns, South Carolina is why.
Sure, most
gun owners wouldn't do what the kid in South Carolina did. But then most people
wouldn't speed (would they?), and yet, we need speed limit laws. Most people
aren't litterers, yet we have to have laws to tell people not to litter. So sorry,
gun people; as with anything, it's the bad few who spoil things for the good
many. The true, harsh reality is that we're a nation of morons, and therefore, should
not be a nation that makes it so easy to put a gun in the hands of just anyone.
And don't give me that garbage about the 2nd Amendment declaring it
all okay. The 2nd Amendment was originally intended to be strictly a
Federal declaration for the purpose of inclusion of a line item in the federal budget throughout perpetuity for weaponry for the purpose of
defending our nation, not to mention shutting down internal usurpers. It was
NOT a hall pass for every Tom, Dick and Dylann to conduct vigilante law. And
for decades now, the NRA has bastardized its intent for their own
money-grubbing means. As for all of the Republicans suddenly coming
out against the Confederate Flag, don't let them fool you. The removal of the
flag is their trade-off for getting to keep their guns.
Until we
have someone – ANYONE – with the guts to enforce the 2nd Amendment
as it was conceived, every standing member of Congress is hereby considered an
Accessory to Murder.
