I used to believe in the 'justice' thing, I used to support freedom to bare arms, etc. But nowadays I can't help but wonder 'why'?
There is more and more proof that citizen's owning guns, easily, is just causing more death (forget crime, they can get their guns illegally and with little or no repercussions if caught, which is another topic).
But with all these 'random' shootings, you have to wonder. No access to guns = no shootings (again, forget the criminals, they'll be getting illegal arms long after I am off this planet).
And obviously, no one that carries a weapon, statistically, will ever use it to protect themselves or others.
The their's the death penalty. I used to support it, but again must ask 'why'? Years after the tragedy, it is all brought up again. The families must relive everything. Perhaps they feel some closure, but the last quote I read was "We have forgiven..."
And then there is his kids that have to watch their father be executed, not gonna be good for their futures.So, I guess I just see it as shallow venegence that does nothing to prevent future massacres and after so much time will surely cause more pain (not to mention make him more of a celebrity and promote all the crazies to think they can become shooting celebrities and get the attention they always wanted).
Ramblings...too early...I do love guns, though ;-) Just don't like that the average joe can carry it, shoot it anywhere, etc., etc. I just feel like this promotes the "American redneck" mentality to the world.
