IF YOU THINK GUNS ARE A PROBLEM—
YOU ARE THE PROBLEM

Once again, psychotic murderous youngsters are motivating Democrats to attack guns, instead of attacking crime and psychosis. Why are children murdering each other? You don't know, don't want to know, and want to do what you've done before—that everyone knows doesn't work.

1. Gun control is not related to crime control. Crime control is what's needed. People who commit crimes, without conscience or resistance—that's a problem. Crimes by psychopaths, that's a problem. Assault of every type is already totally illegal. That's done, enforce it, get results.

2. With 350 million guns already distributed, restricting more sales makes no sense. About half the nation, maybe more, qualifies as innocent gun owners. That's a good thing. They harm no one. Don't fail to grasp this. By aiming at them after mass murders, with repetitious laws, you anger a sleeping tiger. You defeat yourselves, and hurt us all.

3. By assaulting gun rights you merely aggravate the NRA and 100 million gun owners. This is not what you want, it's a battle you won't win, and it won't protect kids—just like all the times before. You want to stop murderers and save lives, right? Do things that stop criminal behavior.

4. People bought 22 million guns last year (it's true!) because you're doing the wrong thing. People, even you, want to feel safe and have protection. Right now people feel unsafe, vulnerable and undefended. So they're doing the right thing by getting armed. Trying to stop them, because a tiny number of psychotics are acting out gets you nowhere. Surely deep down you must know that. You've been down this path before. If you don't change, then you are personally perpetuating the problem.

5. Remember—Assault is a behavior, not hardware. Stop the behavior. Relying on this fabricated term "assault weapon" hides the fact that any weapon can be used in an assault. It is the crime, not the tools, that you must resolve. You are avoiding the problem, caused by people, so it just gets worse. You share responsibility for the bloodshed, along with the evil perpetrators, by adamantly repeating your past actions that you know don't work.

Work with the firearms community to stop hellacious murders. Or work with your fellow gun-controllers to illegally confiscate legal property. Only one will get the result you say you seek. Choose wisely.

Here is a compromise for you—Disarm everyone, bad guys first. Disarming good people doesn't make bad people harmless.
