Bubbles From My Soapbox







Yes, it is about guns.  It's about assault weapons. There is no reason a private citizen should be able to purchase a military weapon or accessories that can change a rifle to shoot more bullets.  You can’t buy a bazooka or a rocket launcher or a tank, so why should someone be able to buy a AK-47?

I am not advocating taking away anybody’s guns. There are two rifles and two shotguns within 20 feet of where I am typing this blog. Logistically there is no way anybody including the government could take away all the guns in America.

There is approximately 270 million guns in the U.S.  Americans make up less than 5% of the world’s population and yet we have more than 40% of the guns. 

The gun wackos who preach the 2nd amendment which was written in 1791 need to realize that it is antiquated and totally outdated. The guns back then were muskets and flintlock pistols and I am pretty sure none of the mass shooters were members of a well-regulated militia.  


For all of the Trump supporters  cult-members out there who say Little DICK-Tator Donald has no accountability in these shootings, here is a quote from social psychologist Roy Baueister, “You do not have to give people reasons to be violent, because they already have plenty of reasons. All you have to do is take away their reasons to restrain themselves.” Trump has done this at rally after rally.

  
With Texas being an open-carry-concealed-weapon state, the NRA's motto of, "Takes a good guy with a gun to take out a bad guy with a gun." proves that either there were none of these folks around or these Wanna-be-Dirty Harry's turned into Chicken-Shit-Sam as soon as the first shot was fired and headed for the exit.  

Stay tuned for future adventures.
