1. Evil exists.Ok here’s the deal… You can have a law to prevent someone from owning a gun/assault rifle but, nothing can stop a person’s will. We all have will. The will to strive to be something better, the will to do our part to do some good in this world/community, and the will to live a happy life to the fullest. I believe this world of ours has MOSTLY GOOD people wanting peace and nothing but the best for ourselves and for the rest of us. That is why MOST of our hearts ache for the children and the victims on what has transpired yesterday in an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut. We cannot grasp the idea of a NUT walking into an elementary school, illegally carrying firearms inside a school, and causing unexplained chaos to the innocents.
Every day we have laws that are designed to protect us and keep us civilized. There are laws to prevent a person from speeding/ racing in a car. People do it every day. Laws to prevent a person from drinking alcohol or taking drugs while operating a motor vehicle. Laws to prevent a person, with a suspended license or even having no license, from operating a motor vehicle. Unfortunately, it does happen. I have seen an entire family killed from a blown out tire causing a SUV to overturn. Where is the explanation in that?
There is another kind of will that exists. I have seen a person’s will that does not want to live anymore. That person stepped into oncoming traffic or even I have seen a person that jumped off a bridge. A will most of us will not accept but, needs to accept and be prepared for. Although it is a small percentage, there are people out there in this world that are grieving within themselves and their only will is to cause other people harm. Their only will is to themselves and they can care less about anyone else’s peace. There are people out there that find pleasure torturing other people or even animals and they do it with a smile. Does our society want those people to live among us? Our laws are too lax. Our laws are designed to get this person help and put them back into society. I blame the person not the gun. Guns are here to deter a person from doing you harm. Guns are here to enforce the third and fourth amendment which is preventing the government to take what you have or entering into your home without your consent. Guns are here to use them against the evil that breaks into your home. I do not want to feel helpless if this happens. I hope you feel the same way. It does not matter if you own a pistol, shotgun, or a rifle. Even a .50 Cal machine gun. It deters evil and my philosophy is the bigger the better. You want to hold a .22 pistol if a person is pointing a .223 rifle at you? Why do we have nuclear weapons? To enforce peace through strength.
Nothing will deter a bad person from getting their hands on a gun. This part is true. Not even if there are gun control laws. There will always be guns in this crazy world of ours. I just hope the good guys carry a larger caliber.
I believe MOST people are responsible gun owners. I meet them when I’m on Patrol. They have a concealed weapons permit. They advised me that there is a gun inside their vehicle. They tell me the make and model and where it’s at. I tell them if they don’t touch their gun I won’t touch mine. I thank them for letting me know. But I am sure there are people out there that don’t have a permit and there's an illegal gun inside their vehicle without me knowing. I can’t search their vehicle without consent or probable cause. But if you ask me what is the one thing that I “fear” the most when I go to work every day. My answer will not be a person having a gun. It will be an out of control vehicle heading my way. At least with a gun, I have a 50/50 shot ;) Drum roll!!!
PS. To all media…You are sick for sticking your cameras in those kids’ faces! Your only will is to get this story out and not for the grieving families!
2. You can't prevent it or legislate it.
3. Defend yourself and those you care about from those whose with the will to do evil.
