Guns For Everyone

The NRA is at it again. Their think tank of nitwits has come up with what they believe is the perfect plan going forward. The spokesman for the NRA Nitwit Think Tank, Pierre LaWayne, outlines their plan:
"You see what we want is guns for everyone to protect themselves. We want armed guards in every school but that is not enough. Teachers and support people should also be armed. Our plan goes further in that when a child shows up for school a gun is signed out to them which is to be returned at the end of the day. Armed guards will then lead them to, and from in the morning, their buses where the driver will be armed with a semi automatic rifle and a few grenades just in case. During sporting events the coaches and referees will be packing. Fans of the home team will be issued glocks for protection during the game. The captains of each team will also be packing just in case some bad guy runs onto the court or field. This is only the beginning of our plans to protect we American good guys from evil guys."
Now this really isn't from the NRA but I am sure they would not be unhappy if something like this ever took place. What happened in Newport Connecticut was a tragedy of epic proportions but gun control laws probably would not have prevented this from happening. As they say "Outlaw guns and only outlaws will have guns". But in this case the guns were legally owned by the Nutcase's (NC) mother. I will not use NC's real name as his name should be deleted from history. NC took his mother's legal weapons, killed her and then went berserk at the Sandy Hook Elementary school. Why he went crazy we may never know but we do know he was missing a few cards for a long time.
Repealing the second amendment will never happen and would not help. I am not in favor of such an action anyways as their are many normal folks that do love their guns and know how to use and store them properly. Some things that I would advocate as a requirement to own a gun is that every gun owner must have a gun safe to keep their weapons locked up. Ammunition should be kept in another safe separate from the weapons. Each weapon should have a lock on its trigger to prevent unauthorized use and the firing pin removed and hidden until the gun is needed. I do not know how NC's mother stored her weapons but we do know she loved her guns and knew how to use them. Obviously that knowledge did not help her when her son, NC, when wacko. 
What can now be done to prevent tragedies like Newport in the future we all ask but the answer is difficult to fathom. Banning guns is not the answer as the genie is out and will never be put back into the bottle. Identifying people with mental issues is tough because, unless it is blatantly obvious as is was with Jared Loughner in Arizona, most mental issues do not lead a person to go on a shooting spree. From what we have heard no one would have thought that NC would have done what he did. People knew that Loughner had violent tendencies yet he was still able to possess weapons. Why is that? A lot of sociopaths lead normal lives only to be discovered when they make a mistake. How do we identify the ones with mental issues that could lead to a future violent act? Are these people going to see a psychiatrist and tell them they want to shoot up a mall? Probably not. The sad thing is that tragedies like Sandy Hook will happen again until we can find answers to these questions.
 Our kids should not have to go to prison like structures to be educated. Military forts do no good as 13 were killed at one by a nut not too long ago. And what about using ex soldiers as armed guards? A U.S. soldier went berserk in Afghanistan and killed 16 innocent people. He is going to trial soon with the death penalty on the table. Who can you trust???
In conclusion I must say that assault and automatic weapons should be banned from the public. There is absolutely no reason why an average citizen should ever own weapons like these. We are at peace with Mexico and Canada and have oceans protecting our east and west. Cuba, and Cuba is another issue I will deal with in the future, is not threat. Unless deer figure out how to use an Uzi there is no reason to go hunting with one.
Well, I am sure there will be people who disagree with your King and I really don't give a hoot if you do or not. I hate guns and will never own one but I have many friends who own guns and are very responsible with them. Why would I begrudge them their right to do so? But what can be done to prevent future Sandy Hooks? Arm everyone says the NRA.
