Once again we are seeing the Gun Buyback program, not for cash but for gift cards for groceries and other items donated for this event. The thought and the process is great for all the photo ops and media ops, for those politicians who have bodyguards or Carry Permits. What about the rest of you? And the cops they are not too concerned either as they too will have their guns. Unfortunate thing is that it does as much good as trying to drain the Pacific Ocean one bucket at a time.
Total bullshit I say, look at those who are bringing guns in for their gift cards, it is not the crazy people and it is not the gang members and quite frankly the guns that do the real killing are still out there. We will be told that these are the guns that could be taken from the owners in burglaries and similar crimes. I just find it all annoying, the mayor, counsel members and the Chief of Police here in Los Angeles giving us all the face time they can get on the local news channels. It really does seem that the current chief of the Los Angeles Police, Charlie Beck is more and more like a hand puppet for the mayor and others. The days of Gates and Davis are gone forever and it shows!
Again, for myself and my family and millions of others, we are not giving up our guns and nor should we. I am a former law officer and do not believe in giving up my guns, I was born with those rights to have a firearm by my being born an American citizen. Will my giving up those rights make the world safer? Don’t be ignorant. What we are seeing and hearing is nothing more than a knee jerk reaction to a series of horrible events.
Events that are being conducted by people who are by no means typical gun owners. One of the more recent ambushes involving a rifle occurred again, back East. The guy doing all the shooting was a convicted murderer, did 17 years for killing his mother with a hammer. Now here is the problem, did someone tell him that as a convicted felon that he was not to have a gun? And further more, I guess he also did not know that sitting and waiting to ambush firemen responding to a house on fire……that he himself had set was a crime.
Does anyone think for a minute this asswipe would have ever played by any rules? He was more likely bad from the time he slipped from between his mothers legs! Plain and Simple!
Would any kind of gun control had made this horrible set of circumstances not have happened? I say NO! This lunatic was planning on burning and killing, how many more are there like this one, who knows. We as Americans have certain rights and I agree when those rights as written were wrote into law, our founders could never have known of the guns and technology that exists in our world today……and so what?
Happy New Year………….
