Trump bans sale of bump stocks
Though long overdue, the recent ban of bump stocks is wonderful news indeed. I have been against any guns and have been writing columns relentlessly, promoting the control of guns to prevent mass shootings.
Think about a gun in your hand that can kill anyone in a minute. If you kill someone, your whole life will be rocky. You will likely either be caught by law enforcement or you could be dead after an encounter with law enforcement. The law will always follow you.
You may get angry for some reason and want to shoot someone you think your enemy at that moment. An instant judgment many times becomes irrational later on. It’s only a moment. If you don’t have a gun, you can’t kill. Killing never serves your purpose.
Still I do not understand why we would let anyone be a mass shooter? The weapons that are used in war, do we need to be made available for public? For what?
We shouldn’t even have toys of automatic rifles for the kids. We don’t need to teach or let our kids learn war games while they have options for so many things.
In this world, we have only one life to live. Why should we not use fully to live love and laugh.
