Bob and All,
If I read you right, insatiable greed is the center of our violence, not guns.
We've gone from an agrarian society where we were all neighbors to one
another, and joined together to assist one another over the rough
spots in life, to a society that focused on keeping up with the Jones,
if the neighbor came home with a color TV, then by golly nothing would
do but to have one of our own, and finally today, it's "I'm for me
First!" not only do we need to keep up with the Jones but we have to
go them double. Capitalism promotes Greed. Maybe it can be
controlled, but so far I can't find any nation in which capitalism
works for the majority of the people. It' a good deal for the few,
but it's a millstone around the necks of most of us.
Nonetheless, we do worship our guns, and we do love fast cars, and we
do love to kick back and head for good times at the casino, and we do
love just tossing our garbage out the car window as we speed down the
highway. And yet, at the same time we do love our children and want
better for them than we have, we do love our spouses and most of us
stay true to our Life's Mate, we do want peace in the world but we
just don't know how to make it happen, we do love to help those less
fortunate than we are, we do enjoy laughing above fighting, and we do
love to walk bare foot on the sandy beach in the warm rain and smell
Nature.
In short, we're all good people. It's too bad we can't start putting
good people ahead of corporate profit.

Capitalists resemble a critical threat. Their desire for affluence is
insatiable. (NRA) members and their pro
protagonists determined to enter a tremendously tempestuous battle with law
enforcement and establishments of civil society. It is the most ignominious
crisis America has ever encountered. Thence, it is necessary to ask, who is
stronger in this battlefield? During a bipartisan meeting on gun laws,
Donald Trump has told legislature not to be so petrified of the gun lobby.
He also suggested raising the age of licit rifle emptors from eighteen to
twenty one. When I read about this on a BBC headline this morning, I was
taken aback. Hmm, seriously?, is this Donald Trump? He is a big fan of NRA
be that as it may, he urged lawmakers to stand to them. Major retail
merchants determined to boycott the NRA. Well, this is a very positive
thing. The crucial factor is, are they willing to implement what has been
allegedly proposed? Will this be a turning point in US's gun market? We hope
so. However, I reckon a relentlessly pitiless battle between lawmakers and
greed beneficiaries. If civil establishments succeeded in ostracising the
powerful gun lobby, the reaction might be unheralded. For quite a long time,
we hear about unconscionably fatal shootings across the States. They were
more detrimental than the recent one of Florida. Why now, they talk about
changing gun laws? This was never an option. Hmm, I smell a rat. Donald
Trump in particular, was a notorious opponent to any changes of gun laws.
Subsequent to the fatal shooting at a concert in Las Vegas last October,
where fifty nine had been murdered and 5 hundred and twenty seven were
wounded, no one talked about any changes of gun laws. This indeed is a
strange situation. I think I should cross my fingers for this. Days ahead
will unveil what is now obscure.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on this controversial subject.
Bob
