Gun Control

[DanEC]

I think too much time is wasted arguing over whether we should be able, as a citizen, to own a gun or guns - it's inherent in our Constitution. It's not going to change although liberals will try to gnaw away at the edges. It's a part of what makes this America. It's not going away. A gun is just a tool - as someone noted above, man has been killing man from day one - our tools have just gotten better and multiplied. Now we have knives, explosives, swords, bats, cars, forks, spears, bow & arrows, poisons, etc, etc. What we have entirely too much of - are druggies, crooks, street thugs, mentally ill, mentally unstable, gang bangers, and so forth. Arkansas has a higher % of it's population locked up than ever before and they are still out on the streets everywhere. And a lot of these drags on society are born out of 50 years of liberal, socialized programs by our Country that encourage laziness, "free stuff", no self worth, no positive self image, no desire to be a productive, no desire to improve themselves, no desire to be a responsible citizen - they just want someone else to support them and to be able to take from others what wasn't given to them. And in the meantime they crank out parentless children who often are born in a drugged state, suffer abuse and violence in their household and generally just grow up to be more of the same. The Great Society thinkers (an oxymoron) have brought us lenient drug beliefs, mainstreaming mentally ill and a general lack of self-responsibility but they don't see it. Until we do something about this process we will always have a violent society and these types will use what ever is available to them as a tool - a gun or whatever. They have created an underclass of individuals who prey on society as a whole and they don't want to face up to it. They are also the same bunch of whining liberals who have no rational thought process or understanding of cause and effect who have brought us this socialized disaster, and that do all the whining about guns in the hands of the law abiding and productive other half of the population.
