as i listen to radio shows, i’ve heard three main reactions to the latest mass shootings in the united states: firstly, i’ve heard that pastors should all carry guns. i heard one pastor say he didn’t wanna comment on gun control, that if more people would simply turn to jesus there wouldn’t be a problem. thirdly, i heard trump say it was not a gun issue but a mental health issue.
trump actually added that there’s a mental health problem ‘at the very highest levels’. that comment totally stopped me in my tracks. did he just admit to having a mental health issue? am i the only one who noticed that? his ability to separate the gun issue from the mental health issue would certainly seem to confirm it.
one democrat interviewed after the shooting in texas, in favour of some sort of gun control, talked about a need to limit assault rifles and those gizmos that turn ‘normal’ rifles into rapid-fire machine-guns. he kept using the word ‘normal’ as he referred to what i guess he considers acceptable. and he’s one of the more reasonable ones.
if at all you’re interested in my opinions on the issue of gun-control go to youtube, type in ‘take aim at the nra’ and i’ll let jim jeffries talk on my behalf. peace.
