I’m creating this post because I’m tired of seeing the same comments and knee jerk reactions from the left and right. I’m baffled on why we can point out the flaws of other countries and their leaders but we can not seem to see that gun control is just one element of these heinous crimes against innocent people. We can provide security for judges and prisons but we can’t do that for schools and other places. Why do we constantly prefer to send billions to foreign entities, spend billions in military, and government operations? Our the lives of the people of our country less then important. Why do we only accept certain amendments but Ignore all the rest.
Yet again another tragic instance of senseless blood shed has occurred. Both the GOP and the Dems are grasping their pearls and pointing fingers.
The good religious folks ( ultra conservative) are grasping to the idea that we need to indoctrinate more into their view of morality. All the while, this same group wants to make laws to force others into their beliefs and create a singular religion for what they believe would be best for our country. They accept the constitution and the bill rights so long as it fits their narrative while ignoring the foundations life liberty and pursuit of happiness.
The far right wants to limit free speech and other rights that don’t fit their narrative. They cry wolf at the very moment any one attempts to limit hateful speech. They proclaim red herring when common sense firearm legislation is brought to the floor. They proclaim Biden and his administration is the worst and announce how glorious their extreme views and presidential candidate/ elected officials are. They do not acknowledge that the very same rants about their views are the very same the far left rants about but from the opposite side of the argument.
The far left wants a fictional utopia where firearms are restricted. Every body gets to live their life as they see fit. Everyone gets acknowledged for their contributions and no one dies. No one gets hurt feelings and everyone gets to practice their religion or lack their of free from bias and authoritarian rule put in place by the far right since the 1950’s because communism is bad.
Here is the real problem. While the left and right want to argue and stonewall the country is on the verge of another civil war. While we want to proclaim 2nd amendment we ignore the inherent flip side which is greater access by criminal elements. No one wants to view the real problems, most of the country lives below poverty all the while people in our country are so willing to donate to charities for countries other then our own. We are so willing to put our blinders on focus on global terrorism while ignoring threats in our country. We as a country in whole are so enthralled in celebrity and political soap box’s that we are not willing to provide security for our most vulnerable and precious resource when they are not in our line of sight. The right and left in government neither care or are willing to protect any part of the constitution, rather they want to institute their extreme versions of utopia. What should be done is people need to vote third party. We need to remove career politicians, we need to scrap our whole government and start from scratch and create a country with limited government, remove laws based on religion, and safeguard our communities, our schools, and our places where work live and play.
