Let's Arm The Homeless!

Hmm ... can't quite put my finger on exactly why it is a bad idea to arm people with nothing to lose when inequality is spiralling out of control.

The solution for the industry and their NRA profit lobby leadership is the same, "Arm everyone."

But firearm violence isn't a class issue, it isn't just urban or homeless or schools or rural, firearm violence is everywhere. 

The hypocrisy of the industry and their lobby is they always argue "Don't punish responsible owners, just keep them out of the wrong hands."

It is true that poverty can produce desperate people, many whom have addictions and or mental health problems, but I am not poor. I do have mental health issues though.

When that side pulls that argument, I act crazy in my argument with them, then ask them if I should be allowed to own a firearm, and they always say "No". Then I point out to them they are screwed because I can buy a firearm because I have no record.

The truth is it isn't about rights for that side, it is about buying needless fear and paranoia and  worship of an object.

I'm seriously starting to wonder if aliens introduced a stupidity virus into the atmosphere or something. I mean, how fucked in the head can people get? Is it just me or are people just getting crazier and crazier?

Let's arm schoolchildren, too.

That way they get the real experience when playing cowboys amd native Americans.

Let’s arm the school children with tomahawks for cow boys and native Americans.  That way they would have experience when they scalp NRA officials.

Tomahawks are too expensive.  Use the Scythian method when scalping.

4 Maccabees 10:7 (CEB) = "In spite of this, they weren’t strong enough to break his will, so they put away their tools and tore off his scalp the way the Scythians do it—they used their fingernails."

Don't forget that a lot of them are homeless because they are off their meds, too.  Just another facet of our marvelous capitalistic health care system.
