Showers don’t clean people.
Clothes don’t cover people.
Cars don’t transport people.
Houses don’t shelter people.
Chairs don’t seat people.
Forks don’t feed people.
And guns don’t kill people.

The gun control issue is a perennial topic. The left-wingers
believe there should be some common sense limits. The right-wing’s extreme,
ignorant, alarmist overreaction is always
that ‘Librulz want to take away all law abiding citizens’ guns then only criminals will have them how are
we supposed to stop a tyrannical government freedom liberty don’t tread on me!’
I won’t tread on you. You’re doing a fine enough job of it
yourself.
Needless to say, I get into this fantastically stupid
argument all the time.
This weekend, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker, Jovan Belcher
shot and killed his girlfriend – the mother of his three-month-old daughter – then committed suicide.
This event, as well as the two presidential candidates never
fucking even fake coughing the word ‘gun’ during the entire debate season (much
like the climate change issue), has inspired me to post a series of my
conversations on the issue. Several other gun-related musings have been posted
in this blog already. And I’m positive there will be more in the future.
Enjoy…
