We have an unhealthy arrangement with guns... Anything forced is unhealthy and it doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, a minority or a white person... Guns give a false sense of security... Wars are won and lost because someone didn't like what someone said or did and yes, it has been said that people kill each other so that guns are okay... However, I say that people use any method they deem necessary, to use guns to solve their ills and if that means taking someone's life then so be it... Whatever happened to create a dialogue in which we can understand each other's differences through communication? Let's put the guns down!! " Life itself is just a series of decisions and choices we make. Many would say that we have no control over our world or what happens to us. Perhaps you cannot control the world... However, you can definitely control how you choose to react to different situations and how you will handle them." - Nicholas Sparks. The same Boiling Water that hardens the egg, Softens the Potato! It depends upon your reaction to stressful circumstances! Solidarity with those who have lost loved ones in this war against ourselves. We need Solidarity forever!!!
how true it is that gun control is a no-brainer for liberals, meaning we don't use our brains when we call for it. and i think you're right, you at least implied this, that we don't believe it's gonna happen and so we engage in a meaningless gesture every time we tout it. and i also agree it goes back to the wild west, which was completely a story of stealing land and killing inhabitants with pistols and rifles. so i was prepared for you to end on with a threadbare list of solutions. if the problem is americans, who we are as a society soaked in blood from the word go, the solution lines up with the solution to a lot of other of our problems, imagine and then create a society with basic respect and equal treatment as its core value. for that we need inter-planetary input, since humans just stray from those values most often when we're in groups or thinking in terms of us/them, but we do have examples from other societies and times in history when people put more faith and emphasis on those values. and there is a lot pointing us in that direction nowadays.
