Stand Up For Ammo Legislation.

You'd think by now, there'd be a little talk in Washington about some sort of limited gun control in this country. Did you know the same gun model was used in the Arizona shooting of Gabby Gifford, the Virginia Tech shootings and this new Colorado Movie theatre shooting? It was a Glock semi-automatic hand gun that's supposed to be easy to use. Instead, one congressman from Texas, Rep Louie Gohmert, suggested that if more people in that theatre were packing guns, maybe they'd have been able to end the trouble quicker. Really? A smoke filled and darkened movie house? Do you think that would have meant fewer people killed? If too many bad people have guns, and you make it easier for everyone to have guns and it winds up more bad people have guns, maybe the idea of allowing more guns isn't working. Maybe the time has come to try having fewer guns. Lets make it illegal to carry a handgun or purchase or own an assault rifle. Lets repeal laws that tell people it's okay to shoot someone you dislike and call it standing your ground. I don't mean people shouldn't be able to protect themselves in their own home from invaders in that home. Or that people shouldn't be allowed to own and hunt with or sport shoot with guns. Maybe you have a collection of guns. All that is fine. What isn't fine is to arm everybody and then tell them they should open fire at the first sign of of any disturbance of the peace and tranquility of their surroundings. Because if people do as you say, this country will run out of ammunition in less than twenty four hours. Maybe that's the goal. No more ammo. If not, then maybe that's the way to solve the problem. Produce guns, do not produce ammo.
