Marlene, it's said because it's a dumb argument to say that taking a "clip" off the market is going to change ANYTHING. Remember VA Tech? I do, I live in VA. He had a 10 round clip. So right away, that new "clip" that some of you think is going to solve the problem, wouldn't have prevented VA Tech. Which is exactly my point. The argument is just stupid.
I point out that people were killed in a bus accident because I'd like to know exactly how someone being dead is any better off for the way they died. The bus driver was negligent. It was HIS fault. HE caused it. If you died by a gun shot or you died by a bus crash, you're still dead. If you honestly care about saving all these lives, that you think will be saved by ANY legislation, I'm curious why people care more about people that die from guns than other deaths. More children choke to death from eating candy or toys than die from gun violence. Where's the outrage against candy and toys? There is none. That's exactly my point. So you don't care about other deaths, just deaths by guns, which shows the true agenda of those fighting against guns.
If you care about life, you care about all life, not just some of it. However, those that fight against guns just care about gun deaths. Statistically, the numbers just don't back up the cause. So many more children die from so many other things that could be prevented, yet those against guns are silent about them.
I've said it so many times now, but obviously, it doesn't sink in. I'm all for fixing ANY problem. But first thing you do when solving a problem is to get to the root cause of the problem. Once you do that, then you can make progress towards solving the problem. However, writing laws that don't address anything other than the symptom and expecting them to work is an act of insanity in itself. I'll stand by anyone to help resolve some of the gun violence issues. But I'm not going to stand by and let some idiots in Washington PRETEND to fix the core issue when they're not even talking about the real issues.
Let's talk about how the bottom class of the economic scale have been enslaved by politicians. Let's talk about how they can't afford to have those that need less dependent on the government. Let's talk about how they ignore getting those kids good educations so they can better their lives. Let's talk about how the government rewards them for having children out of wedlock so they can get the maximum amount of money in monthly checks. Let's talk about all the things they do to make that class of people so dependent on them instead of themselves. Let's talk about the unemployment rate for black youth compared against white youth. Let's talk about all that. Once you start addressing some of those issues and giving some of them a way out, other than drugs and violence, THEN you'll start to see positive movement in reducing gun violence.
Until then, you're just pissing up a rope.
