Texan Stupidity and Guns

I was shocked when I read this on Facebook. There is actually someone so completely ignorant and stupid that they are trying to file legislation to “protect the Second Amendment”. And of course this moron is a State Representative in Texas. Ok, let’s just calm down…the Second Amendment isn’t in danger of being revoked. It will NEVER be revoked because we as a people do and always will have the right to own a hand gun or rifle. Now, let’s try for a moment to use some common sense. What was the reason for semi-automatic military grade weapons creation??? Can we say…FOR THE MILITARY IN TIMES OF WAR. There is absolutely NO reason for any civilian to own or use this kind of weapon. Its ONLY purpose is to shoot as many things as possible as quickly as possible, for say, I don’t know, killing the enemy in war…  This argument that is raging across the United States is ridiculous. You want a gun, fine, go get one. But you don’t need a semi-automatic weapon. Those are for military use ONLY. They never should have been made available to the civilian public in the first place. These are the kinds of weapons being used to slaughter innocent children. How can you as a human being say it’s okay and right to continue to sell these kinds of weapons?

No, we will never get rid of all the semi-automatic weapons out there, there will always be illegal weapons available on the black market; but that is not an excuse for turning a blind eye to this very serious issue. And that is exactly what these gun totting morons are doing; making petty excuses that will only cause additional innocent deaths. The slaughter of children is nothing to make excuses about, you act, you do something – anything – that could in any way help stop this from ever happening again. We as a nation will never completely stop these kinds of horrendous acts from ever happening again, common sense tells us that because there are some very sick, horrible people in this world. But that isn’t a good enough excuse to just turn our backs on the fact that we are allowing these kinds of weapons to circulate in the public.

So, what if by making gun legislation that makes the sale and ownership of semi-automatic weapons illegal and punishable by the law, we make it so even one sociopath is unable to get their hands on one of these kinds of weapons. And by doing so, we save even one innocent soul from being ripped from their loved ones too soon. We did our job! The end. The absolutely appalling and disturbing opinion that we need to not only own our own hand guns and rifles, but need to blow things away with a semi-automatic because that’s our “right” will NEVER out way the RIGHT we have to protect our children and loved ones from sociopaths who are trying to get their hands on our semi-automatic weapons. I agree 100% with President Obama on this one. Get your priorities straight!!!
