FROLITICKS

Wow!  Here we go again.  The National Rifle Association, or as I prefer to title them “Nuts Running Amok”, has come out with a self-serving proposal to arm kindergarden teachers and janitors in American schools.  Hehaw, if you already have far too many guns in the neighborhood, why not introduce even more lethal weapons?  Indeed, little Johnny and Emma will eventually get the idea that carrying around loaded weapons is simply a part of ordinary everyday life in town.  If the NRA had their way and that of their million or so members, every American citizen would be armed to the teeth, shoulders and waistline.  Why amicably settle a dispute with one’s neighbor when a good old shootout would suffice.  The scary point is that these people are actually dead serious, and I do mean dead.  All the shooting range and safe gun handling instruction will never overcome the natural tendencies for humans to panic.  Furthermore, such courses of action will never be able to prevent premeditated and preplanned attacks by deranged persons armed with semi-automated or automated assault weapons.  As in the case of banks, the first ones to be taken out would be any armed security personnel.  Again, the NRA is dealing only with a symptom of what obviously is a much greater problem – too many easily accessible weapons and not enough control over who possesses them.  Let’s hope that the vast majority of sensible Americans choose an alternative route for the sake of their children’s futures.
