OK, so I know that I posted on this
topic after the last “tragedy”, but I have to get some thoughts out here. I am pretty tired of the way people want to “fix”
the gun violence problem in our country.
First of all, citizens of this country decided a long time ago that they
didn’t need God to help them teach their children or even live their
lives. In the absence of God, exists sin.
Sin is not something that WE can fix as a whole, but it is our duty to
live our lives as an example and to raise our children to live by God’s
design. Did God cause a man to go into a
school and kill several innocent children?
No, I don’t believe so. But I
absolutely believe that he allowed it to happen. You see... the way life works is that you do
something stupid, and bad things happen as a consequence of your
stupidity. Unfortunately, those bad
things may affect innocent people. As a nation,
we have turned our backs on our creator.
This is a choice that WILL have consequences. We have been taught by society that it’s all
about “me”. If you want it, get it. If it feels good, do it. If you feel wronged, get revenge. Honestly, what do we expect to happen? In a selfish and greedy society, ungodly people will cause chaos. We can expect this more and more the farther
we get from God.
Now on to my gun control rant. Come on people, think things through. Do you really think that adamant gun advocates
are going to be controlled? I may agree that certain guns are not
necessary for a civilian. I can’t deny
that guns are a big part of violent crimes in this country. But do you realize now many guns get sold
every time the news media brings up “gun control”? How many of those impulsive gun buyers do you
think are properly trained to own and operate those guns? Our society is already one as such that we
are raised to “trust nobody”. Now the
media is bent on reporting every violent crime that’s committed, etching fear
into every man, woman, and child watching.
STOP talking about taking away guns and figure out a reasonable way to
protect our citizens. TRAIN citizens how
to properly use what THEY ARE going to buy and own. If only one of the adults in that school had
been carrying a weapon that day, and knew how to use it, lives would have been
saved. I absolutely despise how our society
has become, but as long as it continues without regard for God, other lives, or
morals in general... it will never get
any better.
