Why is it that people do not hear what I say? I try to be clear, but before the words are out of my mouth they have that aghast look on their face and are pissed off because I advocate taking their guns away! That seems to be a lot of people's biggest fear in the world today. Not hunger. Not health care. Not animal cruelty and certainly not the fact that Monsanto is poisoning our food and they do not even have to tell us.
I made a statement like "I think if a person is over sedated with anti depression pills and on the FBI wanted list or under investigation, they should not be allowed to purchase an assault rifle without a waiting period." Silly me! That is not an assault rifle and I should know the difference between an assault rifle and an automatic rifle. I do know this, call it what you will I am not going to believe for one minute you need one of those to hunt a rabbit! Nor do you need one to protect your home from the dreaded intruder. If you set around every night with one of those on your lap waiting for Mr. Bad Guy to kick in your door, you have a real problem and all the fire power in the world is not going to save you. Or maybe you have friends that you might want to take a closer look at.
I am a Liberal. I have always been a Liberal and I am pretty sure that when my time comes I will die a Liberal. I am also pretty sure my funeral will be pretty well attended by other Liberals as well as Conservatives, Gays, Blacks, Chicanos, a few Indians, animal lovers, Illegal Immigrants, Catholics, Protestants and if I am real lucky, Westboro Baptist Church will send protesters!
I realize you have every right to your gun and I think you should have it. You need it. You need it as part of the well regulated Militia that this country needs to survive. And I am sure you need lots of guns. You can only shoot one at a time, but be sure you keep all of them. I sure do not want any of them. I will defend your right to carry one also, but know this, if you are behind me in the line at the grocery store with your gun under your shirt and a "bad guy" walks in with his AR-15 or whatever intent on shooting up the store, please step out of line before you pull your gun to save me because I do not want to be caught in the crossfire.
I am sure my God has a plan for me and when it is my time, he will let me know and I sincerely hope that when my time comes I am in my little bed dreaming of a peaceful world where everyone has health care, a full belly at night, shade in the field, and a roof over their head. I do not want to be displayed on the 6:00 o'clock news covered with blood and laying on a cold tile floor next to you with your gun in your hand. Just grant me that!
I realize I have probably made enemies with this missive, but so be it. I respect your right to have what ever firearms you want in your personal space, please respect my right to think thier should be some sort of laws in place to protect us from the crazies. Kind of like saying, "You go to your church and I'll go to mine, but let's both walk along together."
