We need worldwide gun control

We need to ban the manufacturing and sale of all weapons of mass murder.

It is hypocrisy. Murder is murder weather it is done in a night club in Orlando, or by a military copter firing at a hospital, or by a bomb being dropped on civilians.

All weapons of war should be banned from the face of the Earth. We should start by seizing all assets of murder profiteers. By using the remaining weapons we have to destroy arms manufacturers. Any country that fails to disarm will face strict sanctions and be completely isolated.

Our leaders must lead by example. Full grown reasonable adults should be able to solve their differences without the use of violence or weapons. The days of the barbarians are over. It is a new time and all forms of violence should no longer be tolerated. Sending guns overseas to the most violent places in the world only created more violence.

Until the people of the world unite as one and demand the arrest of all individuals that have profited from murder, until we band together and demand the world disarm there will always be senseless murder like we see all too often.

If our leaders cannot lead without violence then they are not fit to lead us. The rationalization used to commit violence in the middle east is the same rationalization used to commit violence in United States. If our leaders don't even understand that murder is wrong then the people will never understand that murder is wrong. Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama are all guilty of murder. They are just as guilty as the murderers at Oklahoma City, Columbine, Sandy Hook, Paris, and Orlando. The men and women who created these weapons of mass murder are also just as guilty of aiding these murderers. Until we see this and demand a stop to the violence it will never end.

Dear Marshal,

We, the people of the world wish to ban all weapons of war. Can we count on you to be one of the leaders of this total disarmament?

As I recall, the Aliens just had to wait until humanity built bigger and bigger boards with bigger and bigger nails in them, until they got so big they destroyed humanity...
