The Headlines
And even though this post was written some time ago on my other blog, it could easily have been written today, yesterday and tomorrow with no end in sight. And the headlines are there again. Another person loses their life to gun violence for whatever reason for no reason at all except that guns have been invented. The story has been told in the head before and the story will be told again in tomorrows headlines with no end in sight. The am New York has an interesting statistic in an article titled "Guns and people"; there are nine guns for every ten people in the United States, a scary statistic. And The Villager has interesting statistics in an article titled ""Lower East Siders blast back against gun violence", New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, told a forum that 30,000 people a year are killed in gun violence nationally. Again, I could cut and paste my other blog entries over and over in my appeal to banish guns from every human being on planet earth, and to banish the images of guns in every form of advertisement on planet earth. Guns are the worst invention of an industry ever. If only it was possible to go back in time before guns existed. Is another world possible. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?

That is possibly the most ridiculous thing I've ever read.
Do you honestly believe that human nature is changed by the absence or presence of a tool? The violent people will suddenly become pacifists were they unable to obtain a specific type of weapon?
Violence is a part of nature. Wild animals merrily tear each other to pieces with their teeth and claws. And you think that the only reason humans are violent is because of the invention of the gun?
You live in a fantasy world. The gun was invented as a RESPONSE to a violent world, it was not the CAUSE of the violent world.
Eliminating one specific tool is almost as likely to end the violent nature of humans as wishing REAL hard is likely to end the aging process.
