Guns Are The Problem?

Several Wisconsin bloggers are discussing open carry right now, highlighting the foolishness of allowing someone to carry a gun for protection without allowing them to conceal it. I've been waiting for the "gun issue" to resurface again so that I could ask one simple question:

If you believe that strict gun control (I'm looking at you, Mr. Mathias) is the answer to gun violence tell me which you would prefer: walking around the North side of Milwaukee with a hundred dollar bill taped to your forehead, or walking around a rifle range with a hundred dollar bill taped to your forehead.

If you answer the question honestly, and do not try to change the subject you will demonstrate to yourself quite easily that it's not guns that are the problem. It's the people who operate them.

Next, we can discuss whether gun control would actually prevent people who operate guns poorly from getting them.

Re: Jessie Jackson and Eugene Kane two of a kind

Jesse Jackson pretends to be a spirtualist –a reverend – a man of the cloth. But, his protest amounts to little more than worship of the gun. His attempt at protest – his worship amounts to little more than attempt to appease the gun god.

Jesse Jackson mouths the words of spiritualism but neglects their meaning.

Jesus attempted to separate the tight bonds between the spiritual and the material. Man's sin does not come from the lack of washing or eating non-kosher foods, but from that within the spirit. Jesse Jackson's attempt to blame guns is akin to blaming shrimp for the sin of man.

People wonder why the the Democratic Party and religion are separate clubs?
