The usual social media comments irked me. I saw something once about how a guy could get hold of grenades. Correct me if I am wrong, but I am sure getting hold of grenades would be a lot harder.
Someone mentioned that the Las Vegas shooter could have had knives. If he'd thrown a knife from a building, it MAY have missed EVERYONE. Tragic though it would have been, I am sure the knife, if it had killed anyone, would have been in one person. Still a loss, of course, but not the same amount of damage.
You know something, why is debate banned? Why can't politicians have a DEBATE about gun control? What are the NRA and GOA scared of? Have the debate. Debate never hurt anyone.
I'd be tempted, if I was a politician over there, to say, "NRA and GOA, the ball is in your court. Speak to me. Offer a solution." Put them on the spot. Quite frankly, and it reached this stage years ago, prayers and thoughts are insulting. God is NOT real. If he was, then perhaps some of that magic he used to part the sea for Moses could have been used to disable/incapacitate the shooter. And I am NOT being facetious about that. Shooting are no joke. But the Bible talks about people being turned into pillars of salt, the sea being parted and the sun standing still in Joshua's day. If those ***STORIES*** were true, then why the hell would G*d not be doing something today? Sorry, I'm angry. Why wouldn't he?
I've heard some Christians in awe of supposed events such as the sea being parted and a person being turned into a pillar of salt. If I were a Christian, I'd be asking G*d, "Why couldn't you, as an omnipotent being, incapacitate that shooter?"
So fuck prayers and thoughts. If I'd lost anyone in a shooting over there, I would, as a person who isn't easily offended, be very offended with a politician offering thoughts and prayers.
