More guns and more mayhem

I wake to yet another day and hear that someone has gone nuts in Illinois in a university, with a gun. This happens so often in America that we as a people have become blasé. So pain is again inflicted on innocent kids who were doing nothing more than sitting in a classroom and trying to learn; I struggle to find the answers. I struggle to wrap my mind around this madness.

So, I pray and hope that eventually the powers in the country and the people of our country see the light and do something about this tragic national epidemic. How many more young people must be gunned down in their universities before we do something about it? When it comes time to cast blame we can blame only ourselves. You see when the gun crimes were happening in poor disenfranchised areas of our nation we said and did nothing.

Now, that the mayhem has spread to our bucolic college campuses and suburban neighborhoods we as a people find ourselves at a loss as to how to deal with this. We as a people have fallen victim to the special interest groups who promote gun ownership. My mind races to the question for the Democratic front runner for President of the United States; please Mr. Obama, please explain your pro gun stance to me and make it make sense. You, a man of color who’s people for all too long have been the victims of gun crime, random gun crime. Please help me sir, understand this. How sir do you intend to sleep at night and face yourself, taking a stance to simply gain votes? Where sir are your morals?

Gun ownership in and of itself is not dangerous however gun ownership in a society that is terminally ill is. We as a people do not value ourselves, our children and the mores of a decent society. If we did guns would not be so readily available. We sell guns like we sell fast food and the consequences are as dangerous. We have cast simple humbleness aside and we’ve purchased into the belief that we can still solve our problems with violence which in and of itself causes more problems. Our cultural cannibalism is like a serpent eating its own tail. Rome burns while the population here reloads their automatic weapons whose sole purpose is to hunt and kill people.

It’s time for the preachers in the pulpits of this country to start preaching on this issue. Time for them to leave drinking, smoking and gay marriage alone and start hitting the tough topics of cultural suicide and mass gun killings, it is time for them to start preaching the universal salvation that the belief and love of Jesus Christ brings. In the meantime I will continue my diatribes against guns, gun ownership and the murder of our people. I will back this up with prayer and hopefulness that this country and its gun owning people somehow see the light and turn on their wicked ways.
