Stop The Killing
with
“Common Sense” Laws
by
Stan Wilson
I
grew up hunting rabbits and quail in my home in West Texas. I treasure these
wonderful memories which I have of the time that I spent with my father driving
the oil-patch roads on Sunday afternoons.
No, I am not in favor of GUN CONTROL as
defined by the liberals of this nation, but we MUST do something to stop the
mass murders which are plaguing our nation.
Our greatest challenge will be to REQUIRE
that our legislators take a COMMON SENSE approach to
this issue. The Liberals and the Conservatives in Washington MUST come together
for this issue.
This legislation also MUST stand up to the
liberal Judicial system which has developed during the last 50-or-so years.
It won’t be easy because we have so many
wonderful freedoms in this “land of the free”. And it’s these freedoms which
allow the “mentally ill” to purchase weapons for mass murder.
We also MUST NOT allow weapons which were
designed for “military use” to be purchased just like the 410 shotgun or 22 rifle or 30-06 deer rifle that your father
bought for you. Do you really need an automatic rifle which carries clips of
10-15 or even more cartridges? If I remember correctly, shotguns used to be
limited to 3 shells. Why can’t something like this apply to weapons today.
I realize that one of the first steps of
dictatorial governments is to take guns away from the population so that they
can’t protect themselves from the government. We must have COMMON SENSE
legislation which does not take us down that slippery path.
We also must allow our law enforcement agencies
the freedom to investigate tips before it’s
“too late.” These agencies have so many limitations that they are afraid to
investigate tips in fear that they will be violating one’s individual rights. I
shiver when I realize that the FBI failed to follow up on credible reports that
the Florida shooter had bragged that he was a “professional school shooter.”
America is the greatest nation which has
ever existed and God has blessed us greatly. Surely we
can unite our leaders to STOP this terrible trend of mass murder in our
schools, churches and public events. Contact your legislators and DEMAND that
they take a COMMON SENSE approach to this issue which
is plaguing our wonderful nation.
