Recently, I once more heard the arguments about how guns kill people, how guns are evil, and most of all, how guns seem to make people want to kill people.
So, in an effort to prove whether or not this is true, I conducted a series of experiments, scientific and paranormal in order to get to the bottom of the matter.
Experiment one consisted of putting a loaded gun (blank rounds) on a high shelf out of reach of everyone, training a video camera on it and observing it for a period of 7 days.
The results:
The weapon never made a threatening move toward anyone in the room.
Experiment Two:
Replaced blank rounds with real bullets.
Results:
The weapon once again never moved.
In point of fact the only change in the weapon was a layer of dust that had gathered on it, requiring me to clean the weapon.
Experiment Three:
For a total of seven days and eight nights, when at home I carried a fully loaded 1911 colt 45ACP.
During this time I never felt the urge, explainable or unexplainable to fire at another human being.
I did however develop a craving for smoked oysters and hot sauce, and turkey sandwiches.
Now, considering the possibility that it was the size of the firearm and that was why it had no effect on me, I took to carrying a M1A.
The result was that I again felt no undue pressure to fire at a human being.
I did feel the urge to fire on a coyote harassing my neighbor's goats, a bobcat that was raiding the neighbor's chickens, and some dog that took off with a deer hide I was drying for tanning.....
By the way, the coyote and bobcat did go to the great varment heaven.
The final experiment consisted of putting all my weapons, firearms, knives, swords, daggers, sling shots, crossbows and ammo on the cabinet where my mother's statue of the virgin Mary and her big wall hanging Crucifix was placed after her death.
The entire lot remained there for over a month gathering dust, a clear indication that the things my mother had faith in accepted these items as being nonevil.
If anyone has any suggestions of further experiments to conduct, please let me know.
