No Guns Please

The other day I was watching the local news on television. The first five articles were about shootings. They were shootings of young people: Shootings of old people: Multiple shootings: School shootings and other articles where guns were used aggressively. All the while I'm sitting on my family room couch wondering why we can't do anything about it.

Wayne LaPierre on the NRA's web site is warning that its just a matter of time before guns are outlawed by the Obama administration even though they have never mentioned anything about doing so. At gun stores the news tells us that the pin heads that own guns are buying ammo at a record pace because they are afraid that guns or ammo will be banned. Again Wayne LaPierre is arguing that there should be no laws limiting or banning any kind of gun or rifle. While he's making this argument our American citizens are being shot at a record pace. We are losing more young people to gun violence on out own shores that were are in Iraq or Afghanistan.

People what we're doing about this kind of crime is not working. I consider myself intelligent and as an intelligent person I know that if something doesn't work you should do something different. Why don't we put a real limit on the ownership of guns so that maybe the streets will be a little safer than they are now.
