Playing Politics

It was a sad sight when a dad will use his dead daughter to make a political statement or maybe he was just being used by an anti-gun senator.

Don't get me wrong, but you can't change the past. You can try to blame the Bush White House for the sins of the world and some are doing that right now. It isn't like Republicans don't play that game because they like to blame Obama and Clinton for everything evil in this world. 

But let us get back to the gun issues that plague our nation and the desire to rid the world of guns. No guns aren't evil, but they become deadly when used by people with a desire to inflict harm on people. 

We have unstable people getting weapons that they shouldn't. What is up with that?

Yes, you can blame guns but that won't change the fact mentally unstable people do bad things.

We could pass laws to stop unstable people from having guns. They seem to work, but not in a way that will prevent people from killing. 

Pause, wait, there is someone knocking at the door. Why it is the NRA and their desire to arm everyone with guns. We haven't found a way to stop them from making it easier to get a gun. It seems like we really don't care enough to stop the NRA.

I know it isn't completely their fault but they do have a really good propaganda program in place that gets results.

We need to work together to solve this problem. We can't play political games like the one Democrats played yesterday with the dad trying to blame a judge for the Parkland shooting that killed his daughter.

Gun violence is the poster child of the violence game but we probably need to accept the fact that guns only pose a threat when used by a person bent on inflicting quick harm.  

The dad has every right to be mad, but there was a systematic failure that led up to his daughter's death.

We just don't seem ready to fix the system that allows for crazy people to fall between the cracks.
