Wacky definitions “being American”
A cohort of 150 people going to Church on Saturday night and celebrating their rights of being Americans- what’s wrong with this picture? They’re carrying hand guns!! I checked out this article and to my horror, it was the pastor who invited the gun-party. I don’t even want to touch upon what God would want. Is being an American all about testing the limits? Then, the next birthday/ baby shower/ bridal shower/ wedding anniversary that I attend- I’ll gift them with a handgun so they can exercise their rights. Absolutely delightful, right?
I once saw this kid with brand new squeaky shoes. But natural, she was showing-off her cute shoes by walking non-stop. I thought it was really cute for the first few minutes and that the shoes had served their purpose- the child had a smile on her face. Having surpassed that 20 minutes patience limit of mine, every step of hers became more and more agonizing by the minute. I’m really for freedom but there needs to be a limit to this relentless and meaningless showing-off session once you’ve expressed your jubilation over an achievement.
In my opinion, there have been too many people arguing for and against guns to an extent that it’s become a crucial issue for debates. Are Americans this shallow that they have to make mountain out of an anthill? (Right to buy guns? really?) First of all, what are the cops here for? Have some trust in the system and fight to make it better if you have to. If you can’t trust your own country, you have no right to claim the supremacy of this country over other countries. The only difference is that of cash flow- with enormous amount of resources and enough for every person to survive and save, the system should have been perfect or at least “safe enough” to be able to trust the cops to do their jobs. Or is it that people trust themselves more with firearms than cops (who most probably have million times more experience, than average people, with safety and handling of firearms)? Secondly, stop this ludicrous argument- with issues like people dying of hunger or even over-eating (ref. to obesity related problems) and people losing jobs, none of this sounds important. So, get over it and don’t act like a moron when you really need to step up and act responsibly.
Ironically, those who advocate guns for ‘safety’, are most reluctant for “seat-belts”!
