Guns don’t kill people our gun culture does.
Guns are the central celebration of violence in America.
Gun enthusiasts shoot, kill and maim over 250 Americans a day. [not counting suicide]
200 times a day a good gun enthusiast with a gun turns into a bad gun enthusiast with a gun.
When guns become the be-all and end-all of one’s voice and very existence coupled with the paranoia that drives it, gun enthusiasm is itself a mental illness.
Those who really really want a gun are the very ones who really really should not be able to get a gun.
Ted Nugent and his new found pal Ben Carson are now blaming victims for being shot down by good gun enthusiasts gone bad. With that said, it is far less a stretch to point the finger of responsibility at those 200 gun enthusiasts in Rosewood, Oregon – and the 10% around the nation like them – demonstrating against President Obama screaming for more guns for more people in more places.
To the NRA, the gun manufacturers and the gun enthusiast belief that more guns in more hands in more places is the answer there is this.
There were two rooms both with a 100 monkeys. In one they put 100 guns with extended magazines. In the other a loaded six shooter. And there you have it.
