Gun death and the answer to the American question…..

Gun death and the answer to the American question…..
 
                So I woke up again and read about the horrible murders in the states….oh, sorry must be more specific, the school shootings…..More specific again? The ones in Florida….Darn it, the one in Marjory Stoneman Douglas High school in Broward county Florida. But don’t worry if you won’t remember it. The US is averaging a mass shooting every other day, so the next one is due up by Friday…and this time it may be in a school near you…so it will make it memorable!
                My point is that you simply cannot look at the stats without shaking your head and thinking “WTF is wrong with these people”! Now as a Canadian with sensible gun laws I tend to think of the ‘merican cousins as morons, that’s not fair actually…suicidal morons!  At what point will they shake their head and realize that Russia, Jihadists and others are not the biggest things to fear in the US. Its themselves! I watch truly “touched” people on youtube walking around with assault rifles yelling how they are exercising their right to bare arms but they don’t actually know the Constitution or they have a convenient interpretation of the whole thing.
                First off the second amendment word for word is “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”.  Let’s break that down like a math problem. First off “A regulated Militia”….Yah, not so much. These Putz balls are wandering around with fire arms….not well regulated nor a Militia, ergo they are just armed morons!  “Being necessary to the security of a free state” I get it, if a government body were to step in, like England and try and make them a subservient nation again.  NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!“the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed” IF you are a member of a Militia, not regular army mind you but a “WELL REGULATED MILITIA” then you can have a gun! NOT The mentally unstable or those that JUST BLOODY WELL WANT ONE….the second Amendment does NOT say you can just own a gun and you can do what you want, it says  you have to be a member of the MILITIA.
                A Militia is by definition a Military force that is raised from the civil population to supplement a regular army in an emergency or all able bodied civilians eligible by law for military service. Ergo you must be part of a group…not just some shmow who wants to carry a gun! Then you have the militia act of 1792.
That each and every free able-bodied white male citizen of the respective States, resident therein, who is or shall be of age of eighteen years, and under the age of forty-five years (except as is herein after excepted) shall severally and respectively be enrolled in the militia, ... every citizen, so enrolled and notified, shall, within six months thereafter, provide himself with a good musket or firelock.
                Again, if you want to join the militia you can have a musket or firelock, not a bloody AR-17!  You don’t need those for hunting, you don’t have the right to carry them PERIOD. The law does not step in and halt that due to the fact that the gun lobby paid and pays every politician off.  If Russia, a Jihadist or any other country wants to take the states by storm, simply dump CHEAP fire arms into the market for a few years and wait for them to kill each other off, take out their own government and then bomb them….no government left and a military trying to police its own people, it will be easy! Some red neck moron from Dallas is not going to be much of a match for a well-trained military, be it American or Russian….and with Trump in power it’s a 50/50 chance who will take Texas.
                Again, for those that think I am Anti-gun, NO. I love shooting and I love using other peoples fire arms, they are safe and I honestly do not own one because I don’t want to spend the money SAFELY owning one. I think that they are great for hunting, sport shooting and such, but NOT EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A FIRE ARM! Use your friggin brain, we don’t let everyone drive, we don’t let anyone fly a plane, we have licenses and rules, the same should be with guns. Also, it’s illegal to own a working Tank. Why then is it not illegal to own a military grade riffle….Well, I’m waiting.
                Okay, so rhetoric does not dent your ideals, how about some numbers then….I want to drop a few numbers on you. First off this is not a total number of those killed by gun violence, this is school kids, Your children’s age….your niece or nephews age….young kids in elementary middle and high school. Those you swear are protected…Bullocks! In the modern century (2000 forwards for those that don’t understand that) in Canada we have seen 10 kids die in school shootings….and I cheated and added university. That’s 10 “kids” in 18 years. In Mexico, you know big bad Mexico….5. Five kids and those were drug related in a bad school….in a bad city….in Mexico. You know that place Trump fears. IN Europe….ALL OF EUROPE…they had a total of 66 in 18 years, that’s all of Europe. ALL OF EUROPE. In Asia….thats ALL OF ASIA….a total of 22.  And Australia…not Austria….2. HOLLY CRAP 2!What about Africa, well other than militant killings in schools (which would still only be an additional 189 in 18 years in war torn Africa)….5.
                What about the USA, you know the protector, the world police officer, the first world country that “Shines”….a total of 259. Ouch, that’s school kids only. 259 young souls sent to the dust because of an obsession over guns…..think on that…that’s 9 kids a year sacrificed to gun owners. And what is the response….Pray. Pray for what……and end to the violence…then pass a bloody law that does that. What you need to do is fire your politicians, make the fun lobby a terrorist group and just make it safe again with laws that make bloody sense.
                I don’t have to reinvent the wheel.  If you don’t want gun laws like Canada, or Australia….Great Britian….Japan……Germany or the many others, well make some up that work for you guys. For gods sake you are embarrassing yourselves!
