Gun Rights Versus Gun Culture

Here in America, there has been the debate for too many years to count, spanning generations, regarding gun rights. However, the debate goes far beyond rights for an obnoxiously loud minority who turn gun rights into nothing short of a religion.

This is where problems begin. It literally becomes a battle where guns have more rights than humans do in this debate. In that light, I have no problem using offensive language for offensive behavior which disrespects human life.

The House approved a bill requiring mandatory background checks for all gun purchases, with no exceptions. That is an improvement but not much. Far more is needed to control gun violence in this country.

Personally, I am a veteran and in favor of gun ownership. Though with reasonable restrictions. Nobody needs an assault weapon or high capacity magazines. No, I am not going to have the discussion that assault weapons don’t exist. We had restrictions on assault weapons nationally for years and some states still have those restrictions. Take that argument and go away. Anyone attempting it is a moron. If a person thinks they need a long range, high velocity, military configuration weapon with a high capacity magazine, they can throw the argument of self defense out he window. No, it is not a hunting rifle. It is a penis extension or substitute for people with low self esteem and clinical paranoia.

Which brings in the favorite subject of gun nuts. That we don’t have a gun problem in this country, we have a mental health…
