Consider me "move on'd".

Guns are BIG business in the U.S. so it will be very hard to be rid of your gun culture with so many fingers in that pie.Over here in the U.K. the main gun problem is black on black gang related in the inner cities.It is frightening to see how things are slowly becoming more like the U.S.

I remember going to Florida on holiday around Oct 2005 and being told as we landed in Sanford that a new state law had come in to force that month that meant if a member of the public felt `threatened` they were legally allowed to shoot you.So we were warned not to get into any road rage incidents or arguments with locals.Over here if you get into a road rage situation or altercation the worst you can expect is a punch up,or rarely a stabbing,the chances of being shot are minimal.Also,if you fall out with your parents,as most teenagers do,the chances of a shooting incident are virtually nil.

I wonder if second term Obama will have the liberal testicular fortitude to ban the public ownership of guns? If he does,it will be a very difficult thing to implement.I hope he does,for the sake of all U.S. citizens.

Alot of "Little Angels" made it to Heaven today. (This is the only thought I can muster out of my brain today that helps.)

Thanks for that ....it helps to think of it that way .

The above is a couple posts I saw on a news site in their comments section about the mass murders of those babies in Newtown. I was repulsed by it, I honestly don't mean to slam anyone's religion or make them feel bad. But, this type of thinking, that when something like this tragic happens, those that are religious want to justify it, so they can feel happier or less upset, is offending to me. It is exactly like the Richard Murdock's rape comment, when he ran for office in Indiana. That even though something horrible and stoppable happens, there is a silver lining.

Instead of seeing these events as man made and get pissed off and actually do something to stop it, like banning guns. They make it more "OK" by saying God has this secret plan for us or even though our time on earth is horrible, in the end we will be rewarded. These babies that died and every person who heard the news, will forever be changed by this. And not for the better, I fear the ripple effect this will have.

But let's say there is a god, it is my understanding those that believe in him say he gave man free will, what if he allows man to do all these mass shootings and instead of saying "they are in heaven now" and go about your life. What if this is God's way of saying "Wake the hell up, stop letting your children get slaughtered. Stop making me your clean up guy. How about you look at the ten commandments and that "thou shall not kill thing" yeah I meant it. Stop using me as a pacifier and stop protesting Gay Marriage, who hurts no one. Preach from the pulpit, fire up your parish about gun violence and picket gun stores, write your elected officials to pass gun laws or an outright ban. Encourage every member of your flock to turn in their gun. Because I am sick and tired of bringing these wonderful souls into heaven, I gave them life because they are precious and it is you that is f-ing it up, now stop it!!!! " 

Some people who are christian will do just that and I admire them. But I know,  there will be no line outside the gun store protesting, like we saw outside of Chik-fil-a supporting the owners anti gay views. And that is why the comments at the beginning of this post makes me sick and angry.
