I understand what you are trying to say however even with stricter gun
laws what will that accomplish? Even getting rid of guns and make it illegal
still will not keep the criminals from getting their hands on them. There is a
country in which they did that and there still are deaths by firearms because
the criminal element is just that, criminals.
As far as me being punished for something my dog has done well of course I
will be responsible for it just as the person doing the shooting is however, do
we need stricter laws on car ownership due to persons getting behind the wheel
not being responsible when they got behind the wheel and causing vehicle
manslaughter? I can get behind the wheel pull into Easton and drive over every civilian there is walking, and it is not just a tool I needed to get from place
A to B. I can always take the bus or ride a bike or walk. A car is a convenience
not a must have. Same argument it wasn’t the person who
actually killed the person it was the car impact, however, the HUMAN being, IS
to blame for the ill handling of the vehicle. Since a car can’t be held accountable in the court of law, being an inanimate object, it
says the same of the dog, the dog cannot talk and say well that kid kept poking
with a stick every day and tormenting me and I couldn’t take it anymore so I bit him. They lack the brain capacity to handle it.
It isn’t my spoons fault that I am fat, it is mine because
I used the tool given to me in an improper way. So I should need to pass a test
before I can eat? Obviously this is a completely ridiculous example of what I
am saying but it is the same principle of logic. My obesity does affect others
around me as well because of this your insurance rates go up, so it isn’t my decision only affecting me is the point I am making.
A responsible gun owner, has their guns in the proper storage container
and follow the rules, but the criminal element or the will still find a way to
commit their crimes no matter what rule you, I, or society impose on them.
I am all for making items harder to get and making sure the law is
followed as long as it is in a logical sense. It usually isn’t the criminal element that suffers it is the law abiding citizen that
does. I have the proper permit and such however that guy that just robbed the liquor
store or bank at gun point didn’t acquire his firearm via legal channels (more than
likely).
As you have guessed I am a proud responsible gun toting member of the NRA.
I follow the rules and the law as I should. I don’t mean to offend
anyone and am happy that people are able to have a difference of opinion and be
able to remain friends. There will be a lot of items that humans have differing
opinions, this is what makes us human. One is no better than the other they are
just that....... different.
