The Other Side of the Coin
One of the drawbacks of opening your mouth is that you often get to hear from the other side.
Loudly.
The Colorado tragedy is polarizing and that in itself is crazy to me. So many people slaughtered and injured, and the main reason, to me, is crystal clear. That kid was allowed to assemble a war chest.
Legally.
Buying materials over the Internet, basically anonymous to those selling them to you. Buying assault weapons. Dreaming, plotting, planning and then executing.
Executing innocent people who wanted to watch a freaking movie.
And yet, there are people willing to defend his right to assemble such a cache of weapons.
We have that right because we will be unprepared to defend ourselves against our own government when that time comes.
A grand idea thought up by a group of people who were dealing with an unproven entity. We didn't know if the government that was being dreamed up was honestly going to work. We were leaving a situation where we had been oppressed and fearful.
When something is clearly awry it is irresponsible not to look at potential changes, is it not?
The liberal media is scaring people into believing that there is a real threat. More people die in car accidents than through gunshots.
WHAT?????
First off, I can argue that the liberal media isn't selling the thought that the government is going to suddenly turn on you and that you will need automatic weapons to defend your shack.
Secondly, there is a huge difference in being in a pile-up and being shot in the forehead by someone with mommy issues.
If one guy in that crowd had a gun he could have shot that guy before he shot those people.
Really? More guns is the way to end violence by guns. In a society where everyone is mentally healthy perhaps that may work. We ain't mentally healthy. More guns in more unstable hands will lead to more murders.
No one is going to take away my rights!!!!
There are people on that side of the argument who are taking away - permanently - the rights of innocent people. Can't there be a dialogue on how we can change that?
The subject is closed in your mind?
There's no way of figuring out that a man is collecting enough artillery and ammunition to take down a town? We have a database for everything these days. We can't see the red flags. That kid's mother told the police, "You have the right guy."
She saw it coming.
The guy who sold him things face-to-face must have had a thought.
I don't want to argue with you. You'll be one of the victims when it all goes down.
I don't want to argue either. In fact, I'll hold my breath and dream that the world can be peaceful. You're the dude who's scared.
Just don't shoot me as I'm out getting an ice cream.
