Falling Down

With all the talk of new gun control legislation, it's clear the people in the positions to make these decisions are, well, fucking stupid. The problem is not guns, never has been. Nor is it bullets, high capacity magazines or hollow point super destructo ammo.

Nope, the problem is people - and more importantly the illegal folks who cruise over the wannabe border. Don't believe me? When was the last time you saw a helicopter chasing an armed suspect that wasn't of minority descent?

The movie Falling Down - and that's a movie!

The right to the pursuit of happiness is guaranteed. But, happiness is a relative term. American's will NEVER give up their guns - they make folks happy.

I have been through several background checks and always bought the weapons I wanted. When it was time to sell a gun, I sold it to whoever had the cash (so long as they weren't a "known" felon"). So if the new owner of the AR-15 wants to climb a water tower and play human paintball, isn't that his right?

It's also the right of every American this cat decides to shoot at to fucking shoot back.

When Timothy Mcveigh blew up that federal building in Oklahoma City, did the feds put heavy controls on diesel fuel or fertilizer? Or Ryder trucks? Nope, nada and didn't happen.

Fact is, the world is a shitty place. You want to be totally safe and face no potential danger or accidents? Die, because that is about as close as you will get on this planet.

Want to fix the majority of the problem? Allow the border patrol to have the same weapons and technology the military has. Also, allow them to shoot on sight. If the poor fuckers happen to live then we can ship them back to their country of origin.

It reminds me of when I was going to school in Utah, and every few years the farmers in Idaho would offer to supply folks from Utah free food, lodging and ammo to come and shoot jack rabbits and coyotes. Perhaps some of these unemployed folks who have run out of benefits can be given the same opportunity - get a .50 caliber and a spotter and go to work. I fucking guarantee there will be less border crossings, less gun crimes, especially in southwestern states, less drug use, lower health care costs, less food stamp recipients and better news stories.

The Taliban may be ass backwards, but they don't have nearly the problem with people  wanting to "come" to their shitty little sandbox. First, the place is a shitty little sandbox - second, if you get caught you get shot.
