All Guns and No Roses

Seems like every time I turn around there is a strong topic that divides this great country.  This month is all about guns and gun control.  If you are an american with a heart, it undoubtedly broke when news of a shooter that took the lives of several young kids and teachers at an elementary school hit.  There is no excuse whatsoever for the events that took place.  The biggest issue that came out of this was that the loon used guns to execute said victims.  We've all heard the saying that guns don't kill people, people kill people and I somewhat agree.  If you put the wrong person behind the wheel of a car he or she can do as much damage as a person with a gun.  Do we need to outlaw cars?  Should we put a breathalyzer in every car as a means to deter a drunk driver from going out and killing an innocent family?  I mentioned that this country only acts on violence after the fact and hardly ever in a preventative manner.  What is it going to take to make people realize that no matter what, the wrong person in the wrong situation is going to make wrong decisions.  I was disagreed with when I stated that this idiot could have done as much damage had he run a car through the school than if he had opened fire with a gun.   Why is that so far fetched?  Did everyone see the threat of people hijacking planes on 911 to fly them into buildings?  My point is, violence is in our nature.  We are a self destructive civilization that loves to point fingers in every direction instead of where they should point.  At ourselves.  Mental illness has been around since we were created.  Why now is it ok to overanalyze the brain of a violent person?  I was appalled when the media tried to blame asbergers as the reason for what took place.  Once again pointing fingers in the wrong direction.  If I had to take a side on gun control I would be somewhere in the middle.  I think that people have the right to have guns but I don't see any reason whatsoever to own an assault rifle.  Your not going to need an AK-47 to hunt or protect whats yours.  The sole purpose of those types of weapons is mass destruction.  Destruction of our nation is all we are getting from them.  It's easier to obtain one of these weapons than it should be.  A major change is coming, way overdue.  Once again the government is acting retroactively to something that could have been prevented.  For once, the government is gonna get it right.  My heart goes out to all that have suffered as a result of gun violence.  For those that put their 2nd amendment rights above common sense,  I pray that you don't have to go through what these victims have.  It would sure be a pain in the ass to cover your NRA bumper sticker with an anti-gun violence one.
