We as a species have invented many things that kill.

We have overlooked the inventions that keep us from using them.

Perhaps we need to refocus ourselves toward life.

We ask for new laws to protect us from guns, as if laws, only words on pages, can be used as a bulletproof vest.
If we want to be safe, we do not need a law to keep danger at bay.
No one's keeping us from destroying the guns we possess and forming them into more useful and less deadly creations.
In other places people have created gun buyback programs, which give those who own weapons something more useful in place of something so destructive and painful.
But why would you need that now?
Does someone really need to bribe you to get rid of these useless instruments of human suffering?
No government should make you do it.
No law can be created which will make you feel safe enough, if you are perpetually scared of your shadow. Your weak ass probably needs an instrument of death at your side. That or Depends.

At this time you need to be woman or man enough to destroy the fucker yourself.
It's time for you to overcome your fears of death just enough to help prevent it.
"I have to protect my family." Who will protect them if you use it on them?
"I have to keep the government in its place!" Yes, and when you are blown up by the fighter plane, they can bury you with the damn thing.
"He fought so bravely from his armchair, the fighter jet had at least two holes in it before the bomb fell and killed him."
"It's the second amendment."
And black men being only 3/5ths a white man was in the constitution. A lot of things have been in that constitution.
Quite frankly it's sad that you'd cling on to the thing which says you can kill people and let the rest of it become dead letter.
But at least you can protect yourself.
Let's just hope you don't want to commit suicide, or else you're fucked.
And it's not like more than 40,000 do that each year, right?
Right.
