Saying The Hard Thing

Like Cindy Sheehan and Sarah Brady some people like to think those who have experienced a wrenching loss have gained some species of deeper wisdom from thier suffering. Many seem to believe that the pain has given them a clarity of vision the rest of us lack. Like Billy Jack going into the snake pit they've crossed a chasm that we've been denied so maybe we should allow these folks to guide our public policy.

In this editorial Kimberly Hill shares the truly horrible story of trying to come to grips with the day her son was shot to death in NY city. many details ensue, she couldn't go into his hospital room while his body was still warm. She won't allow her children to play outside anymore, and finally, the government should take our guns away.

Up till the last one I was with her and empathetic to her pain. On the last one we part company and I must say the hard thing.

This lady is a dolt.

Her son was killed by drug dealers. I'm gonna let you in on a little secret, shhh, come closer...

CRIMINALS DON'T BUY GUNS IN GUN STORES!

Any law passed would only impact law abiding citizens who require protection from these very criminals. In fact, I wish our government would acknowledge the law abiding and not hinder thier attempts to navigate thier way home alive. Armed societies make for polite societies.

There is no new law we could pass that would change the situation, we could however get serious about incarcerating and executing the individuals who commit these kind of crimes.

but hey that's just me, what say you?
