Buy a bullet proof vest because
you will probably need it all the time. The House just passed a bill allowing
anyone to carry their guns across state lines. States like Arizona and West
Virginia already allow almost anyone to carry a loaded firearm in public
meanwhile in other states and big cities it can be a felony to carry a weapon
in open sight. Quietly a new law is making its way through to Congress that will
change all the differences to leaning towards us all wearing holstered guns
everywhere like the old wild west of lawlessness in the frontiers of America 100
years ago where sheriffs and law men were scarce. Are we there again? I thought
we all had pretty well employed police forces of well-trained folks who took
mental exams and target practice before they were allowed to carry a weapon.
Now we got folks buying guns on the streets at gun shows with no background
checks and mental people allowed to buy guns. Folks are buying guns for their
children and now we want laws to allow everyone to carry their guns in plain
sight all over America? Buy a vest now!!
They are pushing for gun permits
to be like drivers licenses good to own all across America. If you are allowed
to carry a weapon in your home state, you will be allowed to carry your weapon
in all the states. Why don’t we have laws like this with pot or other laws that
are only good in certain states? The proposed law is called The Concealed Carry
Reciprocity
Act is already approved in the House of Representatives and has the full
support of President Trump. So if you buy a new wardrobe buy clothes that leave
room to carry guns and sashes of bullets across your chest. Really? Do we
really want to promote easy death and for conflicts to be judged immediately by
gun fights? What a step backward for human sensibility.
The bill has 40 co-sponsors.
There is sure to be another big debate over law enforcement, police departments
and Second Amendment rights. Mississippi already has the 4th highest
gun death rate in the country and has some of the weakest gun laws. Do ya think
Trump should be looking at those numbers? No, he wants to surround himself with
weapons and walls. In Mississippi pretty much anyone 18 or older can carry a
weapon there. Should designers create jeans with gun pockets and ammunition
flaps? How about an outside pocket in your purse for your gun? I think we need
matching designer patterns of bullet proof vests but that is just silly me
thinking of safety or even stupid survival. I want to carry a first aid pack on
my back in case I survive a battle over a parking space without too many
bullets aimed at my heart.
No there are NO bills trying to
be passed for our safety. That would be silly! Sigh! There are many gun rights
groups like the NRA, National Rifle Association and the USCCA, United States
Concealed Carry Association that have successfully sold the Bill in
conservative Republican states. We can all agree like the pot laws that there
is a problem when you can smoke pot in one state and cross the line and all of
a sudden be a criminal. Guns also have that same problem of acceptance across
state lines. There are only 8 states that require Americans to have background
checks, firearms training and have a need to carry a handgun. In most states it
is easy to get a permit and require NO training to carry a lethal weapon. Some states
don’t have any requirements. I guess lives are not important in most states
anymore.
The gun promoters like the NRA
contributed $30 million dollars to Trump’s election campaign and they take
credit for his victory. Red states are spread all over rural America. Many of
the people who live in rural areas do not get a quick response when they call
911 because the terrain is so vast. They want the ability to take the law in
their own hands and let the best shooter with the biggest gun survive a bad
situation. But in large cities where millions of people live closely it is a
quick response to a 911 call and the police haul the bad guys away. It would be
far worse if everyone in a large city was able to carry weapons. Innocent
people would die from all the bullets spraying everywhere for every disagreement
anywhere.
I don’t want to get my gun along
with my keys, phone and wallet in the morning to deal with my new day every day.
Humans should have the intelligence to not to choose death on a daily basis.
That is why we have prisons and courts of law and juries to convict the bad
guys and put them away for our safety. Where is the safety if we all carry
lethal weapons? Should we go a step further where we could press a button in
our cars that will turn the machine gun on too? This new gun law would be a
disaster for major cities across the country that have well- funded large
police forces. Every year New York takes in 50 million visitors from all over
the country and have to deal with them and their concealed weapons and yet is
the safest big city in America because the police force spends a lot of time
stopping those weapons from being used in the city. A law like this would just
make their job even harder to stop the use of weapons over silly disputes.
If people didn’t have knives or
guns we could all survive a good old fist fight when really mad. More guns
would just bring more violence. An increase in suicides and accidents would
happen. With no National data base for concealed weapon permits who the hell
even knows what and how many weapons would be everywhere with some nutty
person? Right now with data collected New York and cities like it pretty much
knows who has a legal weapon. With this law all bets will be off with no
information about the description of a suspect. Do we really want less
information to be available to our police forces?
Big city police departments are
totally against this new law. THIS IS NOT JUST LIKE A DRIVERS LICENSE! To drive
a car you need to pass a written exam and show the ability to drive a car. This
law requires NOTHING and no knowledge of when and how to use a lethal weapon to
end a life. Is driving a privilege but owning a gun a Constitutional right? I
should not have to feel privileged to live. Owning a gun should be a privilege
and NOT a right.
Thank God the Supreme Court has
ruled in 2008 on the Second Amendment that you have the right to have a hand
gun in your home for self-defense and it ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT give you the right
to carry a concealed weapon everywhere. Until the Supreme Court says you can carry a
gun anywhere, leave the laws alone!
Wisconsin eased up on their laws
against gun carry laws in 2011 and since then with more guns on the streets every
year since 2011 fatal shootings have gone up, homicides have gone up and gun seized
from city streets have gone up. We want this for all America?
I don’t want to live in a world
where everyone can kill easily and quickly without much thought. Sadly just a
few votes in the Senate will let possible murder allowed by all be the law of
the land. VERY SAD!
