San Bernardino, California Shootings – By Jimmy Hall/Douglasville, Ga

They have become routine due to our enlarged population, and they don’t even faze some people anymore. What am I referring to? MASS SHOOTINGS.

America averages one a day somewhere now. San Bernardino, California is the latest murder site. (The death toll is 14, with about that many more being injured.) I do feel for the victims and their families.

Once again, many people are calling for “gun control,” and for the heads of NRA members. Why?

These anti-gun dissidents and groups refuse to understand that it is people that kill people, not guns. Secondly, gun murders are actually significantly DOWN per capita and otherwise since the early 1990’s. (You rarely hear this from the media.)

Guns do not think, nor do they fire themselves. Am I right? In fact, don’t they shoot straight where they are pointed or aimed, and don’t they need to be loaded by a human being?

Why attack guns? If they are truly responsible for the murder of innocent people, are they not also then responsible for the saving of even more innocent lives?

Gun ownership is a great crime deterrent. Studies all demonstrate that. They do far more good than bad. Imagine taking all legal weapons out of the hands of good people? Then only bad people who do not obey the rule of law will have them. If you think things are bad now, imagine then.

California has strict guns laws and gun free zones. It doesn’t matter. Gun free zones put all law-abiding citizens at risk. Stricter gun laws do the same. Again, people that kill people DO NOT obey gun laws. Honest people do.

In essence, we have a government that has distorted and exaggerated the shootings per capita, and blamed them on the weapons instead of the criminals using them.

Shootings are a mental, spiritual, psychological, and emotional problem amid bad people. These people should not be babied and pampered as unfortunate people with bad childhoods. No way. Nor should guns be blamed for the actions of these criminal users.

By the Liberal way of thinking, air planes killed more than 2,000 people on 9/11. Baseball bats, hammers, and knives kill and injure many people regularly. Cars kill tens of thousands yearly. Shouldn’t they all be more controlled, by their thinking?

The Libs are wrong; none of these non-human objects kill anyone, only their operators do. We need to deal with the bad people and the society breeding them, not guns.
