I have seen so many articles about gun violence in the US and how other countries do not have this problem. I am about sick of it. Here is the solution, if you do not like it here go some place else. As a Christian that may not be the appropriate thing to say, but stop trying to change this great country into another country. No place other than Heaven and Paradise is perfect.
Everyone acts like if we get rid of the guns the violence will go away. Wrong, it will just become another type and why that is not understood is beyond me. However, let’s face it, the US was built on violence and it has not changed in over 200 years.
When we first came to this country, the Indians according to history were friendly, but that quickly changed when we, the foreigners decided we wanted more. There were no guns like today, but thousands died. Now others come to try and change this great country to what they want versus accepting it as it is.
We act like war is an excuse, but it is two or more leaders who get mad at the other leaders and we suffer the consequences and thousands more die. How is that really any different? It is not, but the leaders twist it around and make excuses as to why that is acceptable. Innocent people die during war, but that is okay.
The reality is that man is a violent being and you will always have the strong prey upon the weak. Now because the weak are fighting back, there are those who want to stop this behavior. I am not advocating violence. People should learn to work out their differences, but we as a society have created this mess. We cannot use the word no or that is wrong. Society as a whole frowns upon negative words. I am not saying you have to go out of your way too be negative, but sometimes people need to be told they have done something wrong.
I do not like it when others point it out, but I am thankful when they do because I not only learn, but I know the right thing will be done. Do I get violent and get in someone’s face and start this nonsense, no. I accept what they say and move on.
Now if we go to other countries and look at violence in total, no one wants to admit that the US is lower than some and of course higher than others. I saw a report where it compare Britain and Wales non-weapon violence to US firearm violence. Why compares apples to oranges and the draw conclusions. Because people want to make a point and they do not care if it represents the truth and this is what aggravates me.
Do we have a problem in the US? Yes, but are we really any different than anyone else? No, so what is the point? It is about control. If there is enough outcry over this, them people will call for the Constitution to be rewritten and those rights you thought you had will be gone. People need to be very careful about what they want, because God will grant it. Look at Israel, they wanted a king like other nations and suffered greatly for their decision.
If you want to know the truth, reject man and his ways and accept God and His ways. Read what Christ had to say and start to live life according to His teachings, your life will change forever and for the better.
