GUNS AND FEAR

People who want to own guns are AFRAID. Until we address their fears, we will not be able to have gun control laws.

I am personally afraid of another Holocaust. I do not know what made good people decide to efficiently murder 6 million people. It is pretty clear that the people who were killed in the Holocaust were despised because of their religions, national origins, disabilities, and sexual orientations. I would rather not "go quietly" to my undeserved death, if people decide that the world would be better off without loudmouth, fat women.

You can help by NOT judging people based on religion, sex, race, national origin, sexual origination, height, weight, etc.

I do not think it is a coincidence that the NRA started championing assault rifles about 10 years after the Black Panther photograph of Huey holding a gun. A Black man pointed out that NO movie staring a Black person has ever showed that Black person holding a gun in the "ready to shoot" position. People seem to be afraid that Black people will want revenge. Black people do not want revenge, they want a level playing field. Whoopi Goldberg did a movie about having to disguise herself as a White man in order to impress investment bankers. Smart, educated people want to be judged on their ability and skill, not on their appearance.

You can help by NOT judging people by their appearance.

TV and movies make the fear worse by coming up with plots which make people afraid. The unrelenting gun violence in movies is a result of movie people wanting to have less dialog in order to sell the film in other languages. But it is clear that some people react with a "monkey see, monkey do" mentality. We laugh when people want to recreate Star Trek. It is not so funny when people want to recreate a movie steeped in gun violence.

You can help by NOT going to movies with unrelenting gun violence.

I do not understand why we cannot at least limit assault rifles and ammunition clips.

Believe me when I say that UNTRAINED people with assault rifles are REALLY DANGEROUS!
