BANG! BANG! How America Shot Themselves Down
Read Time:4 Minute, 1 Second
What IS it with Americans and guns? Well, not ALL Americans clearly but many, many, many Americans. Absolutely and totally out of their trees. Off their trolleys. Mad as hatters. Nutty as fruitcakes. Incomprehensibly demented. If I carry on like this I’ll run out of epithets so I assume you get the picture. Americans who support their gun culture are absolutely a sandwich short of a picnic. A bird short of a bush. A pot short of a kettle…..and the beat goes on.
Pictures have whizzed across the internet of lunatics going shopping for beans or cat food or what ever they’re shopping for with rifles slung over their shoulders.
A TV reporter and her cameraman were ‘blown away’ on live TV by a disgruntled employee of their TV station.
Some survey or other reached the conclusion that 1 in 3 Americans own a gun which means 1 in 3 Americans are either extremely sad and lack self confidence or they relish the thought of shooting someone.
“Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?”
Apparently the lunatic who killed two former work colleagues on live TV killed his cats first.
What the hell are you doing America?
“Oh, it’s our 2nd Amendment and we can’t mess with that!”
Oh yes you can you dimwits. If your 2nd or 3rd or 999th Amendment is costing the lives of innocent people – and cats – then of course you can ‘mess with it’ you complete plonkers! You scrap it or you reword it or you do something bloody sane to stop total nutters carrying guns legally!
Of course there will always be mad and bad people who will carry guns and use them against innocents – nobody with any sense would deny that – but how many gun owners have accidentally shot their kids or their wives or someone in the wrong place at the wrong time?
I’m quite sure there will be statistics wandering about but, frankly, I don’t need to research them as there have been several ‘accidental shootings’ of kids, or by kids, this year that have made the news in England so it isn’t rocket science to know there’s been far more than that when we had enough of our own news to worry about for us to be told about another one.
The thing is America. Those of you who are terrified of anyone tampering with your constitution are, I’m sorry to say, stupid.
Tampering with your constitution isn’t the same thing as scrapping it you know. Sometimes a wee bit of tampering can actually make things better.
Tampering with your 2nd Amendment and stopping idiots carrying guns when they go shopping for beans would, to any sane person, be a very good thing.
Tampering with your 2nd Amendment to stop anyone and everyone legally owning a gun would be a very good thing. It would prevent some father accidentally shooting his kid for a start, or some kid accidentally shooting their sibling or themselves.
Although I’m sure that there are many many readers of MMA who would love gun ownership to be sensibly controlled – which, clearly it isn’t at the moment – I am also aware that many, many Americans are dumb enough to think that stopping them from legally owning a gun is an infringement of their rights as an American.
Hello! America! Guess what? You ain’t all John Wayne and Clint bloody Eastwood. You are ordinary people who should be going about their ordinary and law abiding lives without carrying a gun with which you might accidentally shoot the hot dog man as you search for your dollars to buy a hot dog from him.
All those ‘Amendments’ are a part of your democracy and, of course, democracy and the freedoms that come with it are to be valued and protected at all costs.
However, squealing about ‘Amendment rights’ when said ‘Amendment’ allows some dopey moron of a father to own a gun that accidentally shoots his kid as he cleans it isn’t democracy. It’s allowing idiots to kill people through their idiocy.
We all know that there are many many Americans who don’t even know the approximate location of Britain or Australia or Russia or China and yet they can own a gun?
You guys really are nuts aren’t you?
You can change your 2nd Amendment without any risks what so ever to your democracy but you won’t will you?
Why?
Because, as much as I love Americans, too many of you are just too plain dumb to understand. (nothing personal)
Right. That’s got that off my chest.
So, are you an American who can understand the need to change your 2nd Amendment in order to restore sanity or are you a moron?
Your call.
