Those Shootings and stuff
Tuesday. 1.11.11 7:21 pm
So, I was reading this really bad article about the shootings in Arizona. You know the kind: "We totally saw this coming because this guy was a nut job," except that the only things they have to support these claims are that "he was a little weird sometimes"?

I think people write these articles because they want to make themselves feel better. They want to think "Oh, that could never be me, because I'm not crazy," not realizing that all of them are a little crazy. Is there an answer for why every hobby conspiracy theorist or backyard political activist is not hunting down congressmen? Well, no, of course not. I personally like to chalk it up to society telling us what it expects and, while it isn't foolproof, those expectations help the majority of us dismiss weird thoughts and weird thoughts and understand on some level that they will never be acted upon.

Even still, it did make me reconsider my stance on guns. It goes like this. It is very silly for someone to buy something that they have no intention of using. For instance, I think most of us would regret buying a banana holder, especially if we do not even eat bananas. If I bought a gun, I would expect to use it to defend myself. Right now, do I have anything to defend myself against? Not really, at least not one that I am anticipating. However, if I did have a gun and if it were 'me or the other guy', would I shoot the other guy? Even though I love being alive and I love everything that life gives me, I would have to say, I hope I wouldn't shoot him. If it were him or me, I wouldn't want to be the one living with the guilt of having killed another human being, no matter how insignificant that life might seem.

So, while I am not exactly for taking away other people's guns, I think I have decided, once and for all, that I will never own one.

That article is really grasping at straws. My brother was way weirder than that, and he turned into a successful man.
I would own a gun. Even if I don't shoot it, it's a good threat to have on my side. Like any other animal, humans are supposed to work to survive. I refuse to believe that we're more "evolved" than that, you know?

Oh, people and their liking to think they know what's going on. The pieces... they all fit together... that one time he blinked five times in row... IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!

That article was REALLY TERRIBLE. I like it how the neighbor says, "When he saw me he always said, 'Nice to see you, Mrs. X, how are you?"

ONLY PSYCHOPATHS DO THAT!!!!

I agree
I would probably practice with it every now and then just to know that I was able to use it well. And hey, it might come in handy some day to shoot near a guy's foot. I wouldn't feel very bad about that at all.
