With a harshly contentious gun ban battle being waged. Gun control is a political gambit to appease the majority. This is further separating the country along with topic of abortion and economic failure. Reminds me of Ancient Greece. Domestic problems, uncertainty and vulnerability sending the country into a frenzy and a society devoid of God as their sovereign leader. Leaving us exposed to attack from the ills and evils of the world and the devil (Ephesians 6:12). Winston Churchill once said "those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. First to my commander-in chief, I would like to send my congratulations on your second term as president. I know some may think I'm being cynical and are not fond of me being critical of the President Obama being a black man myself but I'm entitled to my opinion.
By our readiness to allow arms to be purchased at will and fired at whim… we have created an atmosphere in which violence and hatred have become popular pastimes.
- Martin Luther King
There have been mass shootings that have taking place in the last 2 years from VA Tech to Sandy Hook and dating back to Columbine. Is this cause for a war on guns? absolutely! Not to be insensitive to those events, I extend sincere prayers for the families and survivors. See there is just one thing, I grew up in "the city that care forgot," and the environment myself and countless others call home throughout the inner cities of America have been, for lack of a better explanation, desensitized to gun violence. If there was ever to be a ban on guns, it should have come to fruition many moons ago, prior this administration. All I ask of the current administration is to not just focus solely on the recent victims of gun violence but also to include those who live within the confinement of gun violence every day. Expand the budget to get more police on the streets and teachers in school. Also please don't rule out the ingenuity of gun owners and makers. And their lawyers.
Everyone in this world is loved and is important to someone. And when a life is lost, grief is undeniably to follow no matter what the circumstances in which the gun violence occurred. Gun control becomes important when the people that are dying are deemed important. Killing associated with inner cities lack significance but the current mass shootings have significance because of the demographic affected. Not racist but the racially motivated. It leaves me quizzical how as one nation supposedly under God, we can turn a blind eye to the killing of one person but be outraged as a nation when another is the victim. So much for liberty and justice for all. What's the difference in being born into any religious community and being born into poverty? None, we are programmed to conform to our surroundings and cling to what is status quo. I'm a major proponent for gun control for all. I'm especially tired of losing black men to it. For every gun murder and incarceration someone is also taking away by the judicial system. If we attack gun violence at its branches and not the roots, it's a futile and fruitless endeavor. Harvesting crop didn't stop world hunger, printing more money hasn't changed poverty and I pray that gun control doesn't cause a rise in gun violence because it has in gun sales

It's not a gun control problem; it's a cultural control problem.
