NRA Press Conference
and a response to the critics.
The young folks at huffpostlive as they respond to the NRA press conference, sight that, "there is no evidence that these shooters choose places where people won't have guns."
What are you talking about? You don't believe that violent individuals won't target those who are weaker than them? The bully in school doesn't go after the jock who can press 350 in gym class, he goes after the more vulnerable. And as for the Ft Hood incident, that guy was not only insane, but really stupid. The sole suspect was shot and taken into custody by Department of the Army Civilian Police officers.
You want some evidence?

New York City pizza shop gun-free zone.

Kaiser Cement California gun-free zone <- down the street from me)

The list goes and will go on and on.
May I sight a personal experience? I took a trip to Israel a number of years ago. Beautiful people and a very historic. They live in constant fear of terrorism. Prior to my vist there was a ban on guns. There was terror in the streets all the time. Children being shot and killed as they traveled in school busses with their unarmed teachers. By the time I visited, the gun ban had been lifted for a few years and many people were allowed to carry guns to protect themselves. Principles and teachers of schools were given guns to protect the children in school and when traveling in school busses. On my trip I arrived one day at a well known ancient site called, Solomon's Temple or commonly known as the "wailing wall" where pilgrims will go and pray. We stopped to respect and take in this rich cultural experience. As we approached the main gate to enter, there were many armed guards watching the area. Just then a white buss drove up, stopped and when the door opened, two adult men stepped out, each carrying an M-16. Then a bunch of school children began filing out of the bus as well. Behind the children, one more adult, this time a women, exited also armed with an M-16. They were protecting the children they were responsible for. They loved these children and respected the families so much they were willing to protect, with lethal force if necessary again the threats that were around them. Reports show today that since lifting the gun ban in Israel, violence to the innocent, especially school children, has dramatically decreased.
Ok, that's Israel, this is the US, we don't have terrorism like Israel does. We don't?
Killing kid's is killing kids . It's evil as far as I'm concered. Terroristic if you ask me. What to do you think the parents and families of the victims in Connecticut think?
God help us.
Our real problem? As a culture we don't care about anyone but ourselves. If we had a mentality that we need to love and respect other above ourselves, we'd be better off.
Romans 12:10 as an example. Read it.
