But WE know they’re NOT the problem, it’s the malcontents that gain access to them... don’t we?
How do we go about changing the minds of those who DON’T know, or choose NOT to know, it’s not the otherwise inanimate object that causes the sorrow and suffering, it’s the individual who seeks to gain something by depriving others.
I think what I was trying to point out is that math runs both ways. If millions of guns exist, and only a few are mis-used, then math says the few problems should be the focus...
And once that little basic logic hits home, the reality that millions of people exist, but only a few act like this killer, why shouldn't we focus on the few? And punish them, not "fix" them, or excuse them, while blaming me and you?
So agreed, we know this.
But the same people who can't remember the fact that the holocaust killed 6 million Jews (less than 50 % of millenials polled even know what the Holocaust is) are the ones that are so poorly informed and so removed from the reality of the ORIGIN of evil that they cannot even name it. So they blame gun ownership and pile on, saying only 30 percent of US citizens own guns in America, alluding to a rule by sheer numbers.
(So, if 51% did, would that mean that the 49% could be told to buy one?)
We have forgotten that we set up a government that is a republic, not a majority democracy, and we are obligated to consider the RIGHTS of the minority.
The logic of that speech writer fails on so many levels.
So we are clearly a sick society, and I propose that the only way to heal is to repent and confess our God hating, rebellious self centered ways and ask Him to forgive us and heal us.
