In the past few weeks, America witnessed a number of lawless individuals unleash their evil upon the innocents. They happened to use guns. Wait for it. Wait for it. Ah, there it is. Faster than a bank bailout, stronger than the Treasury department, able to leap Barney Frank in a single bound, John Kerry to the rescue with his call for greater gun control (here).Why, why, why, Delilah, do they continue to restrict the acquisition of weapons for those who purchase them through lawful channels?
The Democratic Party continues to be hostile toward gun ownership in our nation which is why if you go to any outlet that sells weapons or ammunition, you see the shelves picked clean. When folks anticipate scarcity, they make a run on that product. Before hurricanes, folks stock up on the staples, food and water. When citizens anticipate the government legislating away weapons and ammunition, they will load up (good choice of words) on handguns, rifles, shot guns, and pea shooters.
The logic staggers. The drug cartel in Mexico scoop up guns in the U.S. If we outlaw them in the U.S. to prevent the cartel from acquiring them, they will get them via other means. The final outcome is that we have disarmed our citizens thereby preventing them from protecting themselves against the lawless ones coming across our borders.
The problem is not the guns. The problem lies in the heart and soul of the people wielding the guns. Wickedness. Immorality. Evil. Lawlessness. It doesn't matter if it's a person singular or a person in a group or cartel, the outside can only reflect the inside. These people exhibit man's natural rebellion against God. Taking their guns away will not change a corrupt heart.
I hear thunder. And it bodes ill.
