To everyone who is calling for stricter gun laws in light of the tragedy in Tucson

... may I offer this little tidbit: If guns kill people, then pencils misspell words, cars drive drunk, and spoons make people fat! Remember: Hold the PERSON accountable for their actions, not just the means they chose to utilize!!! Reposted from another friend's status messagage on Facebook.

You know if we outlawed everything ever used to commit murder we would no longer have knives, cars, medicines, cliffs, baseball bats, ice picks, and a bare hands.

The first thing the Philistines did when they concurd Israel was take away the people's most powerful weapons.(swords)

The first thing Mao zTang did when he took over China was take away the people's most powerful weapons.(guns)

The first thing Stalin did when he took over Russia was take away the people's most powerful weapons.(guns)

The first thing Hitler did when he took over Germany was take away the people's most powerful  weapons.(guns)

The first thing Castro did when he took over Cuba was take away the people's most powerful weapons. (guns)

Despite the retoric, the only reason a government wants to take away your weapons is so it can better control you.

Fear the government that fears you weapons.








(By the way, the next thing each of these murderers did was to force all children to attend school.)

Thank you so much for commenting! I love to talk to my readers.

I do ask that there be no anonymous commenters, though. If I am brave enough to put my name on this blog, you should be too:-)

Please keep it civil. Remember we are all human and make mistakes, and that since we can't see each other's faces or hear each other's tone of voice, it is very hard to get the emotion in what we are saying each other. Use lots of emoticons! :-) And show grace and love to each other.
