After taking off for the past 10 months from blogging (honestly, I had to get through the elections here in America before I went ballistic in my rants), I am finally back to share my common sense thinking with you. I have had a rough time of it - trying to figure out if I want to use the blog to rant or roast or just post "feel good" blogs. I've decided not to stress on it and to post what I feel is right for the moment. "Let the spirit lead you" is my blog mantra.
So sit back, grab your coffee or tea and have a good read:
I have just about had my fill of Mitch McConnell, Alan Gottlieb, Larry Ward and all those other "leaders" screaming, "they're coming to take our guns". I've had my fill of liars causing hysteria. I've had my fill of "responsible gun owners" sounding like children screaming for a pacifier.
1) National Gun Appreciation Day? Seriously??? How about National Child Appreciation Day? Stop being self serving dolts (yes, that is what you are) and join the serious discussion on how to secure weapons from criminals and mentally ill people; about how to protect our children and families? Brainstorm on how to make weapons safer so kids don't find mommy's Colt 45 in her bedside end table, think it's a toy and blow the babies head off Make a commitment to keeping Americans safe in malls, schools, on street corners, in office buildings and in their own homes.
2) Misrepresentation isn't leadership. Real leaders don't lie. If all you do is scream, cause panic, and twist facts, well, that just makes you a narcissist and a troublemaker seeking attention - nothing more. Those that follow the screamers look like the fools who went with Rev. Jim Jones. These are NOT leaders..... and "Obama isn't coming for your guns, fella's". Grow-up.
3) Stop this non sense about your "God given rights". God gives us two rights... birth and death. Everything else WE make up in the in between time and then place on God as if something was mandated from Heaven. It wasn't, and there is NO Biblical basis to think otherwise. God didn't give the right to own a gun, own a house, own a car, have a job... Got it? Sinking in yet?
4) Stop the non sense about your "Constitutional rights". The Constitution is the basis of our nation. It is a living document, and all things living change and adapt to situations. We HAVE a situation. Let's learn to adapt. Yes, we all have the right to bear arms. Does that mean I should have the right to a nuclear device and a few tanks? After all, if we are talking about the right to a militia, shouldn't that militia keep up with the times? Heck, lets all go buy drones (with bombs attached, of course) so we can protect our 70" tv's and Hummers from 'the government'. See my point? See the ridiculousness of that argument? And let's get VERY real here: You thinking you can defend yourself from 'the government' and it's military is kind of ridiculous. You may take out a couple of soldiers, but in the end... well, you will get your 'God given right' to die (yes yes yes... I hear the testosterone from here because dying for your tv makes you just so manly. Totally sexy...NOT). Common sense, people... common-freakin'-sense. Heads out of asses here. It's not hard to do...
5) Responsible gun owners? Sounds great! Been one of those myself. Now, how about being a 'responsible' citizen that sounds like they have some good, 'responsible' common sense? Stop spewing the same regurgitated one liners, zingers, bumper sticker mentality crap and get serious about what is going on. Stop posting and reposting hysteria. It's insanity in a loop... and you are starting to sound like a bunch of crazy people. Yes, that goes to my friends and family here on Facebook and "in the real world"... YOU SOUND LIKE A LOON! Seriously, you do... And yes, we DO talk about you behind your back when you post crazy shit. You just need to know that. That's life. Doesn't mean we don't love you and appreciate you, but your mental and emotional state is worrisome...
So, all you 'responsible gun owners', here is your challenge: How about recognizing there IS a HUGE problem and we have to solve it? Let's do it SERIOUSLY, not by trying to boost our ego's with what we think the Constitution says and what we think is our 'God given right'. There are children dead, families ripped apart, devastation of people's hearts and souls. Guess what? IT ISN'T ABOUT YOU! If that is beyond your comprehension, if compassion is out of your reach, then that makes you a bit mentally ill... and you should not have possession of a gun to begin with. Stop listening to the news and the same "leaders" to form your opinion. No one wants to pry a gun from your warm, living hand any more then they want to from your cold, dead hand. Got it? If you can't think past the talking heads and form an opinion on your own that is based on your own thoughts and not emotion (over loss of an OBJECT) it makes me question why you would be called "responsible" to begin with...
Bottom line? If you cannot think for yourself, you certainly can't be called 'responsible'. But you can be called a lemming.
