“How Many More Children Must Die for the Second Amendment?”
Such a title, Thom. You always come up with a good one.
There are lots of good writers. Many can put a point on things much better than myself. I had a fairly good education. But I don’t write often enough to remember some of the rules. So I just write quickly in a folk telling …
“How Many More Children Must Die for the Second Amendment?”
Such a title, Thom. You always come up with a good one.
There are lots of good writers. Many can put a point on things much better than myself. I had a fairly good education. But I don’t write often enough to remember some of the rules. So I just write quickly in a folk telling style, I guess.
I remember being a little kid in central rural Ohio, about the same age as you, Thom, and perhaps some of you other subscribers. You may remember the toy guns. The little cowboy outfits. The playing a gunslinger out at play. Or a war soldier, or a policeman. Seeing and hearing the “pow pow POW!!” we would see in those formative years on TV and in movies.
About these guns and the kids. This is all I can say. People, regular people, they won’t see it. At least not enough of them, will, in my view to induce them to jump on their members of Congress to insist that we at least get back the assault ban that we had before. I just hate that I just said that, and that I remain so pessimistic on that opinion.
It seems they embrace the old west mythology, the guns from the TV shows, the books, the popular culture.
We are part of a sub-group, we in the Thom Hartmann u-verse. We see this violence, this shame of those who obstruct the much needed restrictions on deadly force weapons. We can only try the best we can to try and see how to make more people become aware of this and the many other dangers that are part of our world at the present.
Where I am, in Montana. Our Governor came into office this January. He immediately opened up the guns to school and college campuses. There were objections. But none solid enough to resist. People use this argument that if people have a weapon they can respond and gun down the assailant. Oh boy. Yeah, right.
God, or whatever Common Spirit and Faith we can be a part of, we must continue to ask ourselves, how we may succeed in bringing back an enlightened state. And remain vigilant in making it happen. I think success will only come when we allow ourselves to play in a more proactive way. Responding to more vile examples of Awful, just will not bring those “unenlightened” or “asleep” people to a stronger majority.
Thanks for listening. Stay calm. And enjoy the joy still here. It is still here.
