Disgusted. 

Horrified. 

Unsettled.  

Ashamed. 

Don't even wanna think about it. 

Can't imagine. 


Why would anyone take guns to school intending to slaughter as many children - kids aged seven to ten with their whole lives ahead of them - as humanly possible? 

Why would a mother with a mentally unstable son living in her house have three guns registered in her name? 

Why? 

Why does this stuff continue to happen?  Why can't we politicize this issue?  Why can't we have a reasonable discussion about it? 

If you own guns, fine; odds are that you are a responsible individual who keeps them away from your children - if you have children. 

But answer me this: Why would anyone need to own a gun nowadays?  Self-defense?  From whom?  Explain to me the scenario that would have your safety in jeopardy and leave you perfectly able to go retrieve your gun - which evidently must not be that out-of-reach, I guess - in time to defend yourself? 

The 2nd Amendment?  Fuck the Second Amendment!  The writers of the Amendments lived in a very different world than we lived in - a vastly different society.  They didn't envision this.  If any of their sons or daughters would have been shot to death with a gun, we would have never had this amendment to begin with.  Let's stop cherry-picking from the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Bible - whatever the sacred text - and trying to, via hermeneutics, align our goofy beliefs and ideas with the words, ideas, and rights of those who wouldn't have any idea how to deal with or live in our modern world.

If a few spoiled apples ruin the rights of others... well, that's life.  It wouldn't be the first time such a thing happened.  Deal with it.  We can think of a thousand other examples where the behavior of a miscreant few have ruined it for the rest of us.   

I haven't been particularly eloquent this post... but I'm sick to my stomach and don't care. 


NEW GUN CONTROL LAWS NOW!
