Isn't It Great

By

William H. Smith

Defense Lawyers are good at placing the blame on anyone, or anything other than their clients, I suppose they must do this in order to earn their adsorbent fees. Shouldn’t they be held liable when they know their clients are guilty and they get them off? The perpetrator is made to look like the injured party, and being irresponsible seems to be okay.

When it come to firearms you hear much of the same, the firearm is at fault not the perpetrator. The firearm control advocates continually bombard the public with; outlaw the guns that will stop gun violence. Taking the responsibility from the individual, and placing it on the gun, gun manufacturer, and the distributor and dealer. The gun advocates will distort their cases in order to gain public backing, and the backing of our government leaders. If they are proven wrong, they are never made to answer for their deceptiveness. Isn't it great that we have

deceptive people influencing our government leaders, and that injurious actions can be laid at the doorstep of anyone or anything, except them, and that life goes on without anyone being made to answer for their deeds.

The gun supporters want to keep the laws as they are, as they have been since 1968. The laws on the books are more than enough to control the illegal use of firearms. The violence we are experiencing is not because of dumb law makers in the 60's and before, the problem is with the irresponsible children that are being raised during the 60's, they are raising children who are even more irresponsible. This is not to say that all people are irresponsible.

In the 60's parents were taught (by Dr. Spock) to raise their children by permissiveness, today we have irresponsible parents raising children who are even more irresponsible. With each generation it becomes worse. Isn't it great? Society wonders why there are so many misfits walking the streets and the hallways of our schools. (They won't find a quick fix with a new law).

The point is put "God" back into the schools, so the children have a chance to learn good form evil. Make the individual solely responsible for his or her actions, and stop the finger pointing, and make the prisons unattractive to lawbreakers.
