Have you heard this one? Two guys in a nightclub in Little Rock got into an argument and started shooting. Twenty five people are wounded. It's reported that this was not terror related. Except that a lot of folks must have been terror-stricken. This is not a case of Good Guys With Guns Stop Bad Guys With Guns.
This story in the news today tells us that while guns don't kill people, even supposedly good guys with gun do kill people with guns. So its time for the NRA to stop lying to the public and start being honest for a change. There are simply too many guns out there and too many are allowed places where they shouldn't be. A drinking establishment isn't the smartest place to bring guns. That's because there are too many power drinkers.
I don't know if these two shooters were drunk, but I'll bet they had had at least a few too many. Of course a single tragic event doesn't necessarily change the rhetoric, but it should give pause to reflect. Just how necessary is it for every American to have a gun? The founding fathers could never have envisioned so many people living so close with so many guns. There are more than enough guns already to ward off any attack on our freedom, either foreign or domestic.
Assault rifles and high capacity handguns are only good for one thing. Killing people. All the kindly talk in the world can't change that fact. They just aren't good for anything else. Well, actually there is one other thing they're good for. They make an extraordinary amount of money for the gun manufacturers and for the NRA. Is that why we need so many? In so many places? For profits?
