MORE ON GUNS
I really believe that after Obama is re-elected that the
gun lobby will lose the power they have over elections. More and more Americans
will finally take to the streets to say no to the monstrous amount of guns sold
in the United States, which now makes it possible for all the nuts in this
country to attack and kill innocent people.
After the shootings in Colorado, one of the locals
remarked that if any in the audience had been armed the amount of people shot
would have been much less. That’s another of those intelligent people who
probably carry guns to weddings, baptism’s and funerals at church and
the movies.
We had an incident in Wilmington about a month ago where good guys with guns inadvertently caused a couple of casualties. A guy was targeted at a soccer match by three gunmen, apparently in revenge for his having testified against one of the guys a few yrs earlier. Why the trio chose to take revenge at a public event makes no sense to me, but apparently several spectators in the crowd pulled out their guns and shot at the gunmen. They injured one of the gunmen, but the real tragedy was that the gunmen not only killed their target but--since they were being shot at--they returned fire into the crowd and killed a 16-yr-old and injured another guy.
