The NRA versus Parents

If you are a parent the NRA is not your friend. You may have an arsenal in your basement. You may have a tank or a bazooka. But the NRA is not your friend. They are your enemy. They do not care about the Second Amendment. They care about money. Your job is to protect your kids. The NRA does not care about your kids. They care about the money. They get money from the gun manufacturers. That is who they care about.

The NRA does not care that your child sits in a classroom.  They don't care that the Assault weapon used in Sandy Hook literally blew away half of the skulls of those children. They don't care they were shot eleven times. They don't care that another person right now might be planning the same thing. They don't care about anything but the guns. They believe it is their right to own a weapon over your right to protect your children. It is that simple.

They do not want to stop assault weapons. They do not care that a gun that can fire a hundred bullets a minute killed twenty small children. They don't care that the gun used in Sandy Hook cut small children in two. They don't care that the gun blew the adults away like manikins thrown against a wall. They don't care that someone else will do it again. They don't care about your kids. They never will. They care about the money.

The NRA is against parents everywhere. They are a danger to our children. They are a danger to society. They are death mongers. They don't care about the parents who lost their kids. They don't care about the children who lost their lives. They don't care about your right to bear arms. They care about money. They care about guns. They are not humans. They certainly are not parents. Parents protect their children

They are the enemy.

What is a gun?

A gun is an instrument of death. That is all a gun is. It was produced to kill humans. Maybe animals too. Death. Human. Animal. Death. A gun is anti human. Humans are humane. Guns are death. Guns have always been death. We are about life. All the time. We fight to stay alive. Guns kill people all the time. They never stop and give life. A gun is a death machine. There is no other way to see it. People do not kill people. Guns kill people. People were not designed to kill people. Guns are. Always have been.

Why is it so hard to stop a gun? A gun shoots a bullet. It does not protect us. A gun kills us. A gun will always kill us. A gun does not equal freedom. It never has. A gun is a freedom killer. It destroys your freedom because it takes your life. A gun always takes freedom. A gun takes liberty. A gun has nothing to do with liberty except to destroy it. What more could you do to someones liberty than kill them?

A gun takes away our rights. It takes away our Second Amendment. A gun kills our right to bear arms. A dead man bears nothing. A dead man is just dead. A gun was manufactured to kill us. A gun is always manufactured to kill us. A gun has no other purpose. Guns have always killed people. We have no rights against a gun. Nada. Nothing. The gun takes away all rights. Dead men have no rights. Dead men have nothing.

A gun doesn't care about the NRA. A gun doesn't care about watering the tree of liberty. Guns don't think about anything. The gun is only here to kill. There is nothing more true than this. It does not matter what type of gun it is . A gun is designed to kill you, your children, your husband, your wife, your mother, your father. That is what guns do. Just ask anyone who has been shot. Ask anyone who has lost a loved one to a gun. They know what a gun is. If you say a gun is anything more than a death machine you are a liar. A gun is death. Period.

So why would you ever want a gun?

Include Assault Weapons Under the Terrorist Act

There was a strategy in WWII called island hopping. Basically the Japanese occupied many islands across the Pacific and the United States saw it would take months to take every island on their way to Japan so they decided to just go around the islands. To leave the Japanese in place and go after the main target which was Japan. That is what we have to do now. We have to go around the islands and forget about negotiating with the blood soaked stooges of the NRA and pass an  executive order. That order would include assault weapons under the Terrorist Act.

Assault Weapons are weapons of terror. That is what they were designed for. Killing on the scale these weapons perform on is terrorism. Killing multiple adults is terrorism. Killing children is an  act of terrorism. Killing people in movies theatres is an act of terrorism. Killing people at political events is an act of terrorism. Automatic weapons are the tools of terrorists. They are designed to murder humans as fast as possible. They are the modern terrorists weapons of choice. No different than a bomb or a man with a box cutter.

For what is more of an act of terrorism than killing our children. There can be nothing more that strikes fear and terror into the hearts of Americans. We have outlawed carrying weapons on planes because they are interpreted as possible tools of terrorists. Certainly the only difference for assault weapons is they are not on a plane but are in our schools and theatres our churches our political venues.

So lets side step the islands of the NRA. Four million members don't compare to the three hundred and fifty million other people. We are being governed by a minority that is making  the gun industry rich. The President should declare all assault weapons as tools of terrorism. And we can then go after the real target of getting rid of guns.

The Great Sorrow

Maybe it is because they were just sitting at their desks. I have gone to teacher parent conferences for my children. You sit at those small desks and lift the top and look at the crayons and the rulers and the scissors and the glue. You look at the clock on the wall so important then .And all those pictures on the walls about writing and reading and arithmetic. And that is what I think about. They were just sitting there and  had no say in their fate. No say at all.

And yet we have politicians who still will not speak. We have people who still wont stand up for them. But we  have the twenty children for all time. So we must do something because that sorrow can overwhelm you if you let it. It is something you cannot quite define. The nausea when you first heard it was children. That it was a high powered assault rifle. That the carnage was unspeakable. And so where do you begin.

And I go back to those small desks. I go back and sit in that desk again and look around the classroom and it does speak of beginnings. That is how I always saw it. Here is where I began. It is where we all began. In a classroom learning the basics of the world. And it was supposed to be safe. It was supposed to be removed from the world. And yet evil came in with unspeakable horror and left us with the great sorrow of twenty dead children.

And in my daughters school they had a song at their Christmas concert for the tragedy. And in the song all the children held a candle. And at the end they put their candles out one by one. All twenty of them until there was only one candle left. Flickering in the darkness.

Then that small candle  flickered.  And died.
