In my previous posts I've been covering the issue of gun control quite a bit. It grabbed my attention. But I will confess this: It's not that important to me. Generally not interested in the subject. I am interested in whether people are homeless and hungry, destroying themselves in wretched jobs, and if the wars we have going on across the globe are killing children. Those things definitely concern me. But the gun control issue never has.
And it's amazing how few can discuss the issue without it degenerating and moving away from important points. It's either balls to wall or unrealistic, rarely rational. I won't go into specifics there, but probably most people have seen it.
The issue is disturbing, if you're at all paying attention. It brings to light America's violence and fear, our divisiveness and penchant for brutality and even murder. It's an old problem. And those problems are the real root of this gun control debate.
The point has been making the rounds in social media and elsewhere that the NRA was for gun control when it applied to the Black Panthers, radical political group born in the 60s revolution, and when the "Master", Ronald Reagan, was all for it; then the Black Panthers died and Reagan was president, everything was fine and dandy in their sheltered little world, so both Reagan and the NRA were against gun control again. Well, the hypocrisy is obvious.
But this post's real intention is to get away from the debate and make a move to humor. Because I'm tired of this issue already.
