A tragedy that will never be forgotten

I didn't hear about it till after I got off work, but now it's the only thing that you hear about anywhere (aside from what's happening this Friday), if anything it tells you that this country happens to have a one track mind when we're over whelmed with something that takes place and makes us take a good look at ourselves. However for those of you that do read this blog, you'll notice that this is both on the My World side, as well as the political side. Personally I know that one shouldn't cross the sides, but the problem in our country is that those in politics that have not offered up condolences for the families that were involved in this tragedy, have seen something that they can be able to grasp onto and starting hitting up like crazy. I know who those types are, and they're making me sick to my stomach (and that's really hard to do these days), and I know that they're just going to do the blame game the entire time.

Problem is not in how the guns are sold or the ID's that are needed or the background checks, or the mental health state of mind, in truth it's not any one of those things, it's all of that and more combined. However saying that we need to have tighter regulations on guns won't do a damned thing, after all those tighter regulations (doesn't matter if they happen to be at the store or a bloody gun show), will only deal with the guns being sold legally, there's an entire section of gun being sold illegally, and there's no way in the world to regulate that. It's called the Black Market. Now we could always do what they did in MacGuyver and that is ship the firing pins outside of the shipment of the guns and make sure that they're never shipped together. However the problem with that are the guns that already have the pins in the guns that are stolen and resold on the Black Market as well, that's where you have another problem right there.

So in truth, you have no way to completely deal with the guns that find their way into something like this. Plus what also doesn't help is that you have the NRA making sure that the regulations never get tightened even further than they are right now. Plus every time that there's a Presidential election (doesn't matter if it happens to be a reelection or a new President coming in), the first thing that always comes up is dealing with the guns right off the bat. I've seen it for each and every single election that has taken place, and it actually gets tiring to see and hear after a while. After all this past election the nut cases came out and said that Obama was going to be taking gun rights away, in truth he actually had zero intention on doing that at all. However now that something like this has happened, he will be expected to do something, question is what will he do?

Personally for me I have no answers, I honestly wish that I did, but for something like this from a writers stand point, all I can think of is just going back in time and stopping this from ever happening. Problem with this (and mind you I write science fiction), aside from the fact that I can't do it anyway, is that once something like this made media attention as big as it's gotten, it becomes in the rules a red flag zone, meaning that it can't be changed no matter how badly one wants to do it, it's called playing God and that's entirely against the rules in real life, no one can be Him no matter how much we try.

Though on that note, there is one church that thinks they really know the Word of God, and yet they have no bloody "F"ing clue (trying to keep the blog mostly clean here), after all this baptist church has sported posters that says "God loves dead babies", and that "God hats fags" (both of which I really don't like here), and so forth. These people have zero clue to the Word of God, which I honestly believe (and have stated to friends, and might've mentioned once or twice on this blog) has to be understood with the mind of a child, after all the mind of a child is still learning and has a better understanding when it comes to learning everything that they need to learn. Just like I tell my mother (or at least try to tell her), Matthew 18:21-22 (please look it up since I really don't want to write it down here, and besides it might be written differently for your Bible compared to mine), that one must always forgive no matter what. If God forgives everyone of everything no matter what we've done in our lives, then we must do the same. I tried telling my mother that (considering that I had forgiven my wife of everything that she had done against me), and she says that there  are those that can never be forgiven, and that she doesn't think that I'm understanding the passage correctly. Problem on her end is that she wants to understand the Bible with the mind of an adult (she even has a Bible for Dummies book at her place), you can't you can read it with the eyes of an adult, but then you must understand it with the mind of a child, it's the only way that you can. After all Jesus told his followers that they must be like that of a child in order to understand and enter the kingdom of God. Now personally I don't like religion at all period, yes I'm Christian, but I have a faith, not a religion. Religion was created to control others, and to make sure that they don't have free will, but a true faith not only has free will, but a better understanding of everything around them, and a mind to think with.

The GOP (and Republicans in politics in general) don't like the thought of having people around them with a free will and minds of their own, that's why they use religion to try to bring everything under their thumb. However these days people are throwing off the shackles of the controlling GOP and religious institutions out there and making sure that they have a mind of their own and voice of their own to speak with. Only problem is, the GOP refuses to listen to what the people really want and are refusing to do anything that they need to for the country. Instead, they're trying to make sure that they ones that are paying them are getting what they want and not the middle and lower classes. It's made for a completely corrupt government on their side, and the belief is bleeding over to the Dems who aren't taking any money (however if they are, I don't know about it and that's a fact).

Believe me this is something that is going to be fought over for the longest time, and there doesn't seem to be an end light to any of this at all. I wish honestly that there was.
