Moral of the story

Guns are not toys. Assault weapons are made for one purpose: to kill. As quickly as possible. Rapid fire semi-automatic high-powered killing machines.  Stop glorifying and glamorizing them.  If you love your guns, then you love death. End of story.


"GUNS" from Negativland.  This song is timeless even after 20+ years. I used to play this on KCR-Radio, San Diego State University radio station when I was a DJ there in 1989-90.

What is wrong with America and its love affair with guns, death and destruction?
There is one thing I agree with Willard Mitt Romney: in 1994 he said,"I don't line up with the NRA."  A decade later, as governor of Massachusetts, he signed legislation making a state assault weapons ban permanent. If it was up to me, I would ban all assault weapons and charge each bullet at least $100. There is actually no mentioning of "the right to bear" bullets in the Second Amendment. Have you ever heard someone say: Nuclear bombs don't kill people, people kill people?  Let's not ban nuclear weapons. We all should have the right to own nukes, right?  Nope, me neither.
The Democrats and Republicans are a bunch of spineless and gutless weasels for letting the ban on assault weapons lapsed in 2004. Obama, you've got blood on your hands my brother.

Why do you need guns anyways?  You mean guns trump your trust in a G*d?
Shouldn't you have more faith in a higher power to protect you?
