The tears have not stopped flowing and the blood has barely dried, but the gun banning has already started by politicians with bogus claims of making us safe by banning “assault weapons.” It is time some truths got injected into these spurious claims.
First, politicians are unable to define the term “assault weapon.” Second, banning chunks of metal is not going to make anyone safe.
In New York, a jihadist murdered people by driving his van into a crowd. In Idaho, a man murdered four college students with a knife. In Boston 17 people lost limbs and three were murdered with teapot bombs.
There are numerous examples of murder and mayhem committed by other than the so-called assault weapons. The truth is, it is easy to murder unsuspecting innocent people. In San Antonio, a student murdered eight of his fellow students and two teachers with 100-year-old firearms technology. For those who say these assault weapons are not needed, I have one word — “Katrina” — when one-third of the New Orleans police force deserted and the city descended into anarchy.
There is a sickness that is permeating our society and causing these hideous crimes. It is hard to pin down, define and describe. Abandoning achievement and decorum and embracing decadence and lies are helping it fester.
When my house flooded my friends came to my aid. They helped me pack, cut the sheetrock and stored some of my goods in their houses.
They taught me that Christians help each other and do not engage in mindless destruction and chanting of brainwashed mindless slogans like dolts. I am forever grateful to them.
This is what is what is sorely needed in this country: Christian examples of living and helping.
