Here's to the next time!  |
Social tensions are VERY high. There are 1.2 guns available per person in the US and a BIG increase in the last 2 years. That is a bad recipe! And there could be something like one mass murder every 10 days in the near future - until something is done nationwide to lower social tensions or do something about the US guns problem or do both.
Australia AND New Zealand HAD a similar problem to the one the US has now. They attacked the gun problem directly by Australia's MELTING DOWN all semi-automatic rifles. Since then they have had only ONE mass murder in about 10 years. That is PROOF POSITIVE that something can be done. Children in Australia and New Zealand do NOT have to fear simply going to school - or adults going to church - or to a square to listen to music and dance.
........ Also, US mass murders are only 2% of the deaths due to guns. The rest is individual murders and suicides!
..........I am in favor of the 2nd amendment and having gun ownership for home protection, shooting targets, and hunting. I am NOT in favor of semi-automatic rifles that the NRA and the gun manufacturers PREFER because of high mark-up and profits paid for by the blood of children. Let's return to the 1950s when guns were for hunting game and NOT HUNTING PEOPLE !!!!!!!
