ORIGINAL: vincentML Bama! From the article I posted: Lovell is a gun enthusiast whose Facebook page prominently features a picture of him aiming a gun, according to MassLive. Several posts reflected enthusiastic support for the Second Amendment, the website reported. Just how does supporting the 2nd amendment make him or anyone wrong? In the situation, he has been charged, he was stupid, the two drunk teenagers were stupid enough to get one of them killed. Now, if that drunk teenager had gotten behind the wheel and killed someone, probably would not have heard about it, or at least on national news. But someone fired a gun, and bingo, its all over the national news. Hey, how about the dozen or so African American Males killed by other African American males in the last 24 hours in gang and drug related crime using guns. Nothing on the news about them. How about the five or six teenagers who got drunk and behind the wheel and had accidents that killed themselves and others? Nope, nothing in the national news. Was there anything about the white american males or males of any other race than African American who were killed by cops today in the fucking news? And so far cops have killed twice as many white boys than black ones, but we dont see them in the news. No, what we get in the national news is a story about a 15 year old who got drunk and stupid and a gun owner who was sober and stupid, and thus the problem is guns. More people die from alcohol and drug related reasons than guns, either in using or committing crimes. More people die from lack of proper medical care in this country than by guns (obama care was supposed to fix it and didnt.) How about the 10 americans who starved to death today, or the 22 US Vets who committed suicide today. Why the fuck is none of that on the news? How about the thousands of vets who are homeless? Nope, not on the news. No, what is on the national news is story about a kid that got drunk and stupid and got killed. This may sound callous, and I got the attitude in the military, when someone dies for being stupid (now they have a web page devoted to it) he earned a Darwin award. We can do something about bad cops. We can even do something to lower the white on white, black on black, brown on brown crime rates that does not infringe on the bill of rights. We can do something about lack of medical care, homelessness, starvation and make a dent in suicides. We cant fix stupid. My personal opinion is the gun owner is guilty of murder, and the kid was guilty of terminal stupidity, and the parents probably need to bone up on a few things. And before anyone asks if I feel the same way about my kids, well lets put it this way, when my son wanted to enlist, my response was "I will wait for the letter." When he asked what letter, my reply was "the one telling me my son died because he was stupid." I am waiting for the local police to basically let me know the same thing. My son has zero common sense. He hops up a car with zero regard for suspension to account for the change in handling, at present he has a Nissan that is so freaking hard to control, my daughter in law refuses to allow my grandson to ride in it.
