A man started shooting people in the West Freeway Church of Christ and was shot by security guards and perhaps some of the people. A relative of one of the members said “some good guys shot a bad guy”. The relative just doesn’t get it.

We didn’t have this problem a few decades ago. Why? Two reasons are the most obvious. One is the proliferation of guns and we now have the gun lobby and the Supreme Court to thank for the availability of guns. Our country has more guns per person than Israel where it is mandatory for most Israelis. Americans have become brainwashed by the gun lobbies into believing racial war is imminent or civil unrest is going to happen. A friend of ours has several assault style weapons to protect her and property from the militias she fears.

The other obvious reason is the social media where much of those fears originate. The gun lobby, American anarchists, and Russian disinformation are the primary sources. The gullible people pass along the propaganda and lies to other gullible people. Our political leaders aren’t brave enough to confront this menace to our culture.

Guns are a clear and present danger to America and the lack of real laws with teeth in them are needed. Hunters know shotgun barrel lengths and three round magazines and are afraid of being caught with a short barrel or unplugged magazines. Even though hundreds of rounds were shot in Las Vegas or in all the school, mall and church shootings, nothing is being done. Why? What needs to be done by sane Americans to put a stop to this insanity?
