What do these two have in common do
you ask? Well I'll tell you oh
inquisitive one.
The one on top seems to think that
if everyone in the Aurora
movie theater had been packing heat that a lot less people would have been
killed. I'm troubled by the concept that
people with handguns in a movie theater under-fire, dark with changing lighting
from the movie and smoke from the tear gas for those of you who need a little
more to set the seen, could successfully engage the shooter with less loss of
life. Oh that's right, collateral damage
seems to be overlooked by a lot of scared people who think more of their
personal arsenals than any other human being.
The one on the bottom has bitten
into the cliché of going postal. He
hoarded weapons, was probably a real opinionated joy to work with (or totally
introverted), and contracted for a company that automates postal stuff until
his contract was terminated.
They both think that hosing people
down with weapons is an acceptable answer to their life issues. I am an NRA member and I am just waiting for
the dues to run out. I agree that the
2nd Amendment gives us the right to keep and bear arms...(important stuff here
too by the way), but how is society bettered by people feeling like they have
to pack heat to go to the movies, out to dinner or heaven forbid to work unless
part of their job requires them to be armed?
