Gun Control: Means Use Two Hands

In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the all too predictable all out assault on the right to bear arms has taken center stage just as we knew it would.
Unfortunately this tragedy is only compounded by the fool's rush to false judgment regarding the cause of this unspeakable crime.

When we all stand back, and take a cold hard look at the facts surrounding the majority of mass shootings, one truism stands above the rest; every one of these perps is nuts.
Certifiable. Straight jacket wearing, rubber room living people; who for the safety of the vast majority must be identified, institutionalized.

In short, a tiny minuscule percentage of our population who own guns, also match the above description.

Guns, like all machines requiring human interface have no capacity for evil or insanity of their own.
Those traits are strictly under the purview of man.
We as humans must recognize that we have a duty to our fellow citizens; that duty is to not allow familial love to cloud our judgments.
We have to be willing to acknowledge reality when it smacks us upside the head like a round from a AR-15. By then it's usually too late.
Mentally unstable members of our families must never be allowed to own, operate, or possess for any reason or period of time any fire arm. Period. Isn't that logical?

If the irrepressible urge to murder innocents arises, and "Box of Rocks Billy" doesn't know how to use, or have access to a gun, the chances for successfully stopping a slaughter have greatly increased. Right?

But then, what if "Box of Rocks Billy" finds, (yes he reads!) the recipe for a fertilizer bomb online like Timmy McVeigh did.
Decides that a truck bomb, even in that deranged dysfunctional brain of his, is a far more efficient way to take down a school.
Will banning assault weapons, ammo clips, hell even slingshots for that matter save a single life in that school?
Do you think it would have stopped Timmy?
Will we outlaw U-Haul's next?

Know this people, as did Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto Commander in Chief of Japan's combined fleet during WWII, the only reason this nation will never be invaded is because every other nation on Earth, knows that behind every blade of grass lies a gun waiting for the opportunity to defend the freedom hard won over nearly 250 years of nation hood.
