I’m not going to talk about the shooting in Newtown, CT today. That evil speaks for itself. My thoughts and best wishes go out to all of the people affected by this horror.
I want to talk about guns. Within minutes of the news breaking, there were people all over the web giving the NRA propaganda word for word. Gun control is pointless because the criminals don’t obey the gun control laws anyway. The gun didn’t kill those babies, the man did.
I can’t stand it anymore. How can you stand there and justify the fact that this guy was able to obtain a fucking cannon and bring it to an elementary school and slaughter children. How can you possibly speak of the guns as if they are the fucking victim. I can’t stand it anymore. How many children need TO DIE before people stop spewing some outdated, inaccurate, pointless, EVIL political propaganda. Did Charlton Fucking Heston go to that school today and pry that gun from the murderers cold dead hand?
That man’s rifle was a monster. It was a cannon. That was an instrument of death. It has no purpose to exist other than to kill, kill quickly, and kill in large numbers. And that asshole’s mom was able to obtain it legally.
LEGALLY!
The second amendment is not the issue here. Legal restrictions on guns are not the issue here.
THE FACT THAT THE GUNS EXIST IS THE ISSUE HERE.
Maybe if manufacturing firearms outside of the military were illegal, our latest killer, and the killer from the mall shooting the other night, and the slime from the Batman movie shooting, and the kids from Columbine, and all of the others would have had a significantly tougher time bringing death to the innocent people around them.
One comment making the rounds on twitter tonight is that one person tried to sneak a bomb onto a plane and ever since the entire airline industry has been altered and every passenger’s shoes need to be inspected. Yet this bitch kills children and their school teachers just a few days after another bitch killed holiday shoppers, just a few months after yet another bitch killed a bunch of people who just wanted to watch a movie… and nothing changes. Heaven forbid we as a society did something to make our children safe.
All of the propaganda spewers talk about how the Constitution of the United States gives us the right to bear arms. Well guess what, assholes, the Constitution of the United States gave us the right to own slaves as well and that evil was put away when the time came. The second amendment will eventually be removed too.
Rant over… for now.
Thank you, Rob. This says exactly what I’ve been thinking but unable to put into words. I’m so sick of the “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” BS. You know what? Guns don’t kill people; people WITH GUNS kill people! Maybe after this horrible, horrible day people will finally feel comfortable to tell the NRA to go to hell, but I doubt it. Personally, I just want to give up on humanity.
