"Morning Papers" - Its Origins (click here)

The Rooster

"Okeydoke"

I take it there was no moment of silence or pray at the NRA Convention for those dead due gun violence.

No matter what philosophy one holds about guns in our society there is always reason to recognize the dead.

It is awareness. It is a way of saying there is a sincere understanding things have to change. According to both sides of the issue things have to change. For those that see the vast pollution of guns on our streets it is a matter of regulation. For those that believe being armed is the only answer to equate the killing fields it is a matter of empowerment and putting guns in the hands of all people.

For each person there is a point of view, but, there can be no mistaking there is an element of death in the gun economy that needs to be addressed. By ignoring the dead those at the convention simply dismissed the problem. They can justify it any way they want, but, in realizing there is no reverence for even children that had their lives snuffed out at the muzzle of a gun proves this is about gun sales and money, not quality of life.

Where does it stop? When are the police put ahead of gun owner ego? The police officer in this video died.




This video featuring Perry is about glamorizing violence. It isn't about safety. It isn't about reverence for the power of the weapon and how it can be used against citizens. It isn't about the reality of carrying such a weapon and turning the streets of the USA into Baghdad. It is about ego. It says, "Guns are for Sale and so am I." This is a Governor's answer to gun violence in the USA? It is sensationism for attention. That weapon is available today and has absolutely no purpose in this society.
