Foolishness I tell you

I was at a local gun show this weekend working and meeting
local people. The show was a bit slow however the people were good to meet and
interesting.

While visiting with different types of folks, I couldn’t
keep from thinking how we as American’s have God given rights.

The rights are part of our Constitution said to be given to
us by God and that man should not be able to remove such rights.

A local tv reporter who has covered me in other matters,
more political, came by my booth and was asking questions about gun law and
about limiting guns.

She said she was sure there would be lots of viewpoints with
the people that attend gun shows.

While she was interviewing or walking around, I was thinking
how narrow minded and foolish such actions of limiting our rights are. Just
because of an action of someone, everyone should be stripped of our rights
given to us in our Constitution?

With such thinking it reminded me of a show on TV I was
watching while flipping channels. The show was 48 hours; the case was of a
killing of a man. The 48 hours elapsed, but months later the show updated on
finding the killer. The killer confessed of the killing and told the whole
story.

It was a paid hit over drugs and money. They used a car to
run over the guy.

So my question has to be, if using the very same knee jerk
reaction to think of solving a problem, then we should ban money and cars and
then the killing will come to an end.

It’s not the removing of rights that is the issue, it’s the
punishing the action of the few that abuse their rights and others.

You see the law does nothing in protection the law abiding
citizen, we are sheep for the killing and when it happens all protection is
given to the law breaker not the law abiding citizen.

Just like our economy, we have to look at what causes the
problem not the problem and find the solution, what caused the problem.

This is why we have such foolishness at our airports.
Instead of doing the right thing of challenging and profile of the people committing
 attacks, we punish everyone, and the
ideal of maybe going after our guns for some mental person action.  Instead of looking at the reason for the
failure they address a response to an action. Foolishness I tell you.
