Well, I guess I’m pretty liberal. This isn’t supposed to be to much of a definitive statement, but it is supposed to make you think about it…
So what can I say about this piece without letting it get out of control?
It’s like this… if we think about what we’re doing, that’s all I ask.
We make such a big deal out of things, I think a lot of people lose sight of what the goals are.
We’re here to get through life, not fight each other every step of the way. It’s in our nature to help each other, and I for one don’t want to kill as a first response. And I don’t think anyone does, really, but this conversation escalates so quickly.
We’re so quick to bring up this point or that point, and I think that we’ve lost the point.
Gun violence is a problem. I don’t think that’s up for debate. So how do we fix it? We know that it can be better. Why is no one trying to come up with a better solution than gun control? Now don’t get me wrong, I think gun control is the solution, but… if you don’t…
Then why isn’t anyone implementing a solution that doesn’t involve gun control? Is it just a money issue? I don’t know, maybe I just haven’t heard of the Senator, or gun rights group, or whoever that’s working tirelessly to come up with a real solution…
The worst part is knowing that it’s so hard just to get someone to listen to you on the issue. Hey, we have all made up our minds. I have. I try to listen to other peoples arguments, even when I don’t agree with them.
I would love to just tell people they’re idiots.
But then I think to myself, Aren’t we all a bunch of idiots? If I’m right, I’m the idiot because I can’t figure out/try hard enough to solve the problem.
If I’m wrong (luckily I’m not), then I’m the idiot for not listening hard enough to the other side of the argument.
So, my question is this… if you support the 2nd like a bloodthirsty tiger, what are you doing to prevent the violence that comes along with it?
Because, I’m tired of wondering when enough is enough…
What do I have to say about gun violence that hasn’t been said? I don’t know, maybe nothing.
Be nice to each other.
Maybe try to work with people more, especially when they don’t agree with you.
That seems like a good start.
