Today, I read the sad news about a shooting in Colorado during the first showing of, "The Dark Knight Rises." Unfortunately for me, I am busy and will be seeing this movie sometime next week. But my inability to see the movie is nothing as to the pain that the families must be going through. I wish the best to those families that are affected by this incident.
My gripe today is somewhat of a serious one in nature. It's about gun control. Immediately after this awful event, I read about Mayor Bloomberg, of New York complaining that this wouldn't have occurred if Obama would do something about the gun problem. The gun is not what killed those people. It was the man behind the gun pulling the trigger. Making laws that make it more difficult for people to get guns would not have prevented this from happening.
Many people in America are Christian. I am sure that most Christian recognize that Jesus died on the cross. Is there a single Christian out there that blames crosses and says we should not allow people to buy crosses? No, in fact, for some strange reason, (one I don't understand) Christians have crosses on top of their churches, around their necks, etc.
Gun's don't kill people. Taking guns away from people will not stop people from killing. We need to find out what made this guy go crazy and kill people and try and help people behaviors.
