AIMLESSNESS


	Once more, there's a big uproar about so-called gun control, and 
now more idiots than ever are jumping on the bandwagon.  Thanks to a 
rash of psychopathic kids shooting up everything from high schools to 
kindergarden classes, the fires of the gun debate have been fueled to 
new levels.  The NRA hates the liberals, the liberals hate the NRA, and 
it's all a big bunch of bullshit.
	First of all, let me say that I do agree with the NRA.  The phrase 
"guns don't kill people, people kill people" may be cliched, but it's 
true for the most part.  Without some idiot to come along and pull the 
trigger, a gun is just a shiny piece of metal with oil and gunpowder.  
Of course, once you pull the trigger, it becomes a instrument of death.  
But then, one could say the same for baseball bats, knives, cars, long 
fingernails, and bare human hands.  The fact is, you can kill a human 
with just about anything if you're determined enough.  If I'm a 
psychopathic killer, and I can't use guns for my dirty work, I'm just 
gonna grab a splintered piece of balsa wood or a large rock.  In fact, 
most serial killers don't use guns for their crimes, instead picking 
more intimate methods like knives.  
	And, of course, the other slogan the NRA likes to tout is true, 
also.  "If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns."  Think about 
it.  I'm an inner-city youth involved in a gang war.  I've killed three 
of my fellow men by my own hand, and seen my own brothers get blown away 
in turn.  I steal, rape, and murder for a living.  Am I going to 
have any qualms about owning a .9mm if some idiot in Washington decides 
to outlaw them?  Hell no.  Matter of fact, that just makes it easier for 
me if I see an old lady with a fresh pension check or a tasty little 
piece of poontang pie walking down the street and decide to take 
advantage of it.  I won't have to worry about her even trying to fight 
back.  And hey, if I decide to break into someone's house for a little 
more money, I can make all the noise I want and, if the feebs who own 
the house come downstairs, I'll just gun 'em down, take the jewelry and 
the money and run.  
	Scary, isn't it?  
	Now, on the other hand, I'm not saying that assault weapons should 
be available to every Tom, Dick and Harry with a driver's lisence and an 
attitude.  We already have laws about those, though, and for once I 
support them.  But banning all guns?  Implementing the kind of shit that 
those moms want to, marching around Washington?  In the words of Chris 
Rock, Nigga PLEASE.  And no, that's not a racial slur.  If you really 
think that you can wave a magic wand and take away all the guns from the 
entire populace of the U.S., you're probably soon going to die a very 
stupid death anyway so whatever curses I call down upon you will be 
ineffective anyways.  I hope to see you in the Darwin Awards soon.  
Unless you break into each and every American's home, one by one, search 
through everything, find their guns, and destroy them, you're not going 
to get rid of them all.  Good luck getting that many search warrants, 
and even if you did, you'd be looking at about a million or so lawsuits 
lobbed at your head, not to mention one very pissed-off ACLU.  
	Still, let's assume that somehow, with a big-assed satallite that 
nullifies technology in civilians' guns and prevents them from working.  
Do you know WHY we were allowed to have guns in the first place?  The 
first reason is, of course, is because we didn't have much of an army at 
the beginning so we had to get militias together.  The other, less well 
known reason is because we wanted to be able to protect ourselves from 
the government if need be.  We remembered how England had oppressed us, 
and we wanted to make sure that it couldn't happen again.  What happens 
if the government decides to declare martial law?  We won't be able to 
do much good against tanks and such to begin with, but without any guns?  
We'd be throwing rocks at soliders with machine guns.  Not much of a 
chance there.  Not that it'd be all that great with rifles vs. machine 
guns, but you get my point.
	Look, it's great that a million mothers got up from watching Oprah 
and marched for a cause they believe in.  But banning guns won't stop 
murders, it'll just make people get more creative.  To be honest, if I 
had a choice between having my skull caved in with a ball-peen hammer 
and being shot in the head, I'd take the bullet.  At least it's 
relatively quick.  I'd rather not die at all, of course, but that's 
rarely a choice.  In conclusion, gun control isn't going to work.  Maybe 
if we started trying to actually figure out why a kindergardener blows 
away his classmate, we could actually get something done.
	Stay Hungry.
