Good cartoon.We have people worrying about their guns being taken, this cartoon shows there are other things we could lose much more precious.Respectfully,C.
Any licensed citizen of the US that passes a FBI background check, no felony convictions, is basically a law abiding relatively sane individual who has always enjoyed the challenge of a shooting hobby or is a hunter or just wants the protection of a fire arm and is licensed, is welcome to their weapon. What are the objections to semi-automatic weapons ammunition kept at firing ranges only? to the same regulations currently applied to gun shops be also applied to gun shows? to inter-net sales?. The whole point (I think) of the current popular interest in ‘gun control’ is precisely an attempt to let legitimate gun-owners be, and curtail access to a felon or prospective criminal unlikely to subject themselves to this scrutiny.
I believe we should address the Perpetrator and the Enablers. There are more than enough of these tools one can use for hunting, target practice, for the joy of design and history of a weapon. There are ways to prevent a person from gaining access to tools for which they are poorly trained or with whom they have bad intent. Like bulldozers. You just don’t let anyone drive a bulldozer. When people do get improper access, there is a need to punish them, and those who failed to take reasonable measures to prevent the improper tool theft/use appropriately Like we often do after a child gets shot by an unsecured pistol. And how many tools does one need for the kind of work with which we use guns? Elephant, rhino, feral hog, bear, wolf, goose, duck, quail, bighorn sheep 2000’ on the other side of the valley with a 8mph cross breeze? Rattlesnake by your boot? I have five hammers with different sizes and purposes. I have two guns. Three if you count the pellet gun.Past laws are non issues. They were badly written and poorly enforced. Today, according to the date on the cartoon is Jan 11. What are we going to do today?Respectfully,C.
Change is coming to China, the C. C. P. notwithstanding. No one-party state survives the ten years after hosting an Olympics as the residents of Berlin, Moscow and Sarajevo will attest.
Let’s just hope the powers-that-be in Beijing manage a smooth regime change – for once in their history!
