Tell me.... gun?? or the person holding it?? What do the people who could
or were there that day blame?? Gun control is a problem my friend.... Once
again check on the nations with no gun at all controls.... Look at thier
crime rate.... See who it is that cannot protect themselves.... see who
suffers.... and why.... Sure we all wish it would all go away.... Just
think the same way on a different matter.... people who drive fast kill more
people then the ones who obey the laws.... How do we ban they from driving??
How do we protect ourselves from them?? Lets outlaw cars.... then
trucks.... and buses and go back to the days where only trains killed
people.... ooops.... I'm getting ahead of myself.... I forgot about
horses.... and then theres always Mother Nature.... I can't wait till
congress passes a law banning her....
Its a pipe dream.... this country is built on the backs of freedom loving
people who believe.... in you.... in me.... and everyone else.... Ban the
crime.... jail the ones who don't want to be a part of this country.... We
have enough laws.... Maybe too many lawyers.... but enough laws already....
