Very common in gun debates are the distractions and the digressions to politics. The ones for gun control automatically become linked to political figures like Obama, Feinstein. I think we should open to the fact that just because one is for gun control, not necessary that one should be automatically assumed a fan of Obama or Feinstein or a political party.
I am for gun control because I believe that it will help prevent and solve the problem of the senseless gun murders of our children at schools and other places, and the thousands of deaths via easy gun accessibility every year. I do think that it is a solvable problem. It doesn’t have to be completely solved tomorrow but it will be solved eventually so that children will be safer in this country.
So to me this should be very much beyond the politics and I think it should be to you too. I believe that on this topic, politics blind people’s sight to what this country can do to improve its safety for its own children. To me, it’s simply to minimize the risks to our children as much as possible to gun deaths.
We wear our seat belts, an act that even though restrict our movements at the time but could save our life and others when an accident occurs. We drive with our unexpired driving license, have liability insurances, car registration, and the rules and laws of the road. The ones who do not follow the laws gradually got busted. The others learn from it. Still we get plenty of accidents and deaths and drunk driving, but that does not mean the laws and regulations do not work.
For those who believe in the theory of tyrannical government, I am sure you have your reasons and heart to believe so. I just want to put in my opinion: just double check, tripple check and quadruple check all the facts that you hear and the reasonings you hear. There are people who can make any theory very convincing and before we know it, acts like Timothy McVeigh won’t be a very distant extensions of these indoctrinations. Seems to me if you really want to protect our republic, it is the rule of law that would be your more effective weapon. If one think an AR-15 is the more effective weapon for this, one has drunk the unquestioned kool aid.
Finally, I think we should focus on ideas to help improve safety for our society away from gun deaths and less on the distractions and digressions that do not lead anywhere.
