All you gun-ownin' Christians, you know that ain't
spiritual. You're not pendin' on God. You should be the first on the
publicly published gun owner's list. We should tell everybody who and
where you are, so everyone will know where all the armed hypocrites live (bet
you ride Harleys too)!
We
might have also missed these few encouraging thoughts:
1 According to one source there are
more people killed with hammers each year than with guns. Solution: outlaw
hammers. Another option: publicly publish a hammer owner's
list!
2 A poor criminal has it tough in
America. Lots of problems; and, one of the
greatest problems is that he doesn't know what is behind which door. A
public gun owners' list would help ease his mind. If he needs a gun
he knows which house to catch empty. If he just wants to steal a little
something, he will know which house is unarmed. Come on people. Lighten up on the poor guy. Publish the list!
3 Someone made inquiry as to how
many crimes involving guns are committed by those having a valid weapons
permit. The result: almost none. Please don't repeat that fact. That could have a very negative effect
on the case for banning guns for legitimate owners!
4 In case you didn't read it, here is
an article I wrote some time ago (this is not SATIRE, this actually
happened):
BARS OR ARMS?
There is a South American country that is home to a small
population of relatively poor, yet very peaceful people. However, for all their material lack and
their peaceful nature, most all their buildings do afford iron
bars which cover every opening, for among them dwell those that are
not so kind and not so gentle.
Being as easy prey, all those that have the bars on their
houses retreat behind them when they sleep. There are predators about, especially at
night. But too often even the iron
is not enough to protect their homes from invasion. Their few precious possessions are taken
and family members die.
It
was Sunday evening, February 17,
2008. Twenty armed men
came in boats to Bartica, a small isolated town on the
Essequibo
River in
Guyana,
South America.
Church was just dismissing.
The day was spent and most everyone was walking home. The
first doors entered were at the police station and the first to
die were the three policemen.
After that it was easy taking and killing till the lust for looting and
bloodletting was satisfied. Nine more townspeople were dead. And, this was the second such incident
in that country in just a few weeks.
But
these massacres were not entirely unusual.
Neither is it all that strange there for families to lose members to
bandits who break into their homes.
Actually, these folks are forced to accept all this as part of their
everyday lives, for they live in a country where the citizens have no right to
bear arms.
