After the Newtown massacre I made three predictions. First, there’s be a run on guns. That happened. Secondly, after lots of talk, the gun laws wouldn’t change. Third, there would be another massacre. I was wrong about the second, thanks the President and his executive orders. On the other hand, we still have child-killer assault rifles available for sale and hundreds of thousands already in circulation, so my third prediction may come true, although I really hope I’m wrong about that one as well.
After the President made his proposals, a Texas congressman immediately called for the President’s impeachment. Can we all agree to get behind the Texas secession movement? Please, just let them go.
I agree with you about Texas. They seem to a mentality that is aggressive. Think about the last three wars we have had and who was responsible for them. I hope President Obama succeeds with his plan for guns.
ReplyDeleteGun owners should be no different than car owners. Think about what all a responsible car owner is required to do. Licenses (driver and vehicle), registration and insurance. Why should guns be any different?
There is an interesting editorial in today's Chicago Tribune. This is a conservative paper and they are talking sense. This editorial helps explain some of the problems with different states and their laws or lack thereof. It's all about the money!
