What are you waiting for?

First, I would like to say that my heart goes out to the families of those who were killed or injured in today's senseless tragedy in Connecticut. There are truly no words to express the sorrow and disgust I feel at this appalling crime.

 

I was REALLY trying hard to make this "non-political", as now is NOT the time for that discussion. Judging by the multiple statuses and conversations I have already seen, however? "That ship has already sailed", so to speak....

 

I will only speak briefly regarding my own feelings, as they are FAR less important than those people affected. To all of the people currently having "knee-jerk" reactions? There are over 300 million firearms in the U.S., and those are only the registered ones. That means ANY attempt to pass more "gun control" laws in this country is utterly futile.... They are already out there in circulation.

 

Furthermore? A "criminal", by definition, does NOT follow laws.

So, the question: How do more gun control laws keep firearms out of the hands of people who BY DEFINITION refuse to obey laws? ...Answer: They don't. All "gun control" laws do is disarm the law-abiding while criminals can still easily access weapons.

"Prohibition" has never worked in this country before (see: "Alcohol in the 1920s", "The War on Drugs", etc), and I doubt it will this time, either.

 

That being said, I would nevertheless ask that everyone take a step back from this situation, as it is FAR too emotionally-charged to remain objective right now.

For right now? Please set aside your own petty political agendas and let these poor people mourn their lost loved ones. It is the VERY least that we, as compassionate human beings, can do.

 

Thank you for reading, and may our thoughts be with the victims and their families;

- Wolf
