blame the shooter

BLAME THE SHOOTER

Blame the shooter for the first ten deaths and the laws for everything after that, is a paraphrase of L. O’Donnell.

For me, that’s where the raging gun debate begins.  The second thing to consider is, are we trying to limit gun violence on the young or the population at large?  Because of course this debate is mostly a response to newtown and aurora.  To restate that, the question is, are young people, under 30ish, more violent and or likely to suffer gun violence? 

The common sense debate can be framed by noting that it is easier to kill someone with a gun than without, bearing in mind that abolishing guns would of course extremely limit gun deaths. 

In crazyville, we have a possibility to greatly increase profiling of anti-social behavior.  And we must consider, if the skyfalls, what gives the righteous citizens a decent chance to fend off a government take over. 

in crazytown the bumper stickers all read, how many jobs and careers and how much lost wealth equals the life of few dozen children every year or so?  

still in c-town, we could have (greater) tax breaks for taser and/or other non-lethal weapon purchases, campus security departments of course included, as well as (again greater?) tax breaks for home security systems in addition to the popular stricter background checks, showbiz no-access-for-kids rules, ammunition reform and assault weapon bans.

My bumper sticker factory has been working overtime but that’s my to sense with the idea that the so-called “stand your ground laws” have got to go.  stayed tuned for next week’s horror show about the anger teacher.
