Few days back , Jack , an American friend , sent me an article untitled "The facts shoot holes in Obama's claim that U.S. is only host to mass killings " by a columnist for Fox News . In a nutshell the article describes how Americans were stunned by Obama's false claims about gun violence in America , when he stated after the last CA shootings that this just doesn't happen in other countries .
The writer goes on describing one by one , all recorded similar attacks to ours that took place in the last couple decades in central Europe , Scandinavia , the Balkans , Russia and elsewhere . The main aim of this article wasn't to pinpoint or dispute the accuracy of the statement , but it was striving hard to show and stress the point , that other countries , with tighter gun control laws suffer as well from gun violence . As well to mock the president by implying that poor us here in the U.S. don't have enough guns available to adequately protect ourselves .
Let me answer briefly . First ; Thanks Jack , I will go this afternoon and buy myself an extra gun and an undetected army machine-gun , so as to sleep better and safer tonight . second ; Are we seriously striving to reach back in time , and relive our beloved old Western Cowboys movies , with their famous scenes of holsters and guns hanging by their sides , ready to draw while going from town to town and from saloon to gun shop , whereby the fastest drawer lives in eternal harmony , peace and fraternity .
This article , like many of the same type and spirit , and the last few years of U.S. politics , and the extreme right conservative re-awakening , proves that a good deal of Americans hate their president , far more than love their country and fellow Americans , they only care to prove that Mr. Obama's ideas and policies are flawed , and that he is talking nonsense while enforcing his policies of gun control or medicare , and other social issues , they hate his guts .
All fanaticism is political in its essence , and lately religious fanaticism is no different , its vengeance against all civilized societies is more of a political nature , when we succumb to fear and isolation , to panic and killings of everyone who is not like us , or strictly conforming to our views and ways , when we back presidential hopefuls in their disturbing calls , we only prepare ourselves for more brutality , more shooting of innocent people , Arabs , immigrants , visitors or citizens , Musslems or Jews , Sikh or Hindus , Atheist , gays or lesbians , yellow , black or red ..... so we can happily regain our lost purity and harmony with our guns .
Some city Mayors are asking their citizens to arm themselves , and some university presidents are asking their students to carry guns !!! Have we reached the point whereby we're striving to reach and accomplish this base sort of scenario in our daily lives ?? And make our existence with guns an end in itself ???
As always , thanks for reading and help spread the word .
