I know this
sounds tactless, but the carnage in Las Vegas is a one-up.
If the Nation
did not get incensed, and pass stricter gun control laws after the killing of
elementary school children at Sandy Hook, then this mass shooting will just be
another momentary outrage before going back to business as usual.
To say that
the easy availability of military type weaponry and semi-automatic pistols with
large clip capacity is not the catalyst for all the killings that take place in
the U.S. daily, and mass killings that now occur with some regularity, is like
denying that tobacco causes cancer.
No civilian
needs to own a military assault weapon that is designed for the sole purpose of
kill humans, and no civilian needs a semi-automatic pistol to protect his
home. A 44 mag. or 357 mag. six shot
revolver is more than adequate home protection, and bolt action rifles and pump
action shotguns with limited magazine capacity are adequate for hunting any
game on the face of this earth.
Assault
rifles and semi-automatic pistols with large clip capacity make the action of
mass carnage possible.
There is no
justification for a civilian to own these weapons.
The bloody state
of the Nation today, including this latest mass killing, is the direct
culpability of Republican law makers who have been willing to whore themselves
to the wing nut (Donald Trump) base of their party and the NRA. Republicans are more concerned about their
next election than what is obviously in the best interest of the Country. Now they are proposing to allow the purchase
of silencers.
What civilian in this
country needs to own a weapon with a silencer?
This is
where the Republican Party has taken the United States to today.
