To All the Second Amendment Defenders

 

 Same shit, different day.

To all the Second Amendment defenders:

I wish you would just admit that you don't care how many people or kids get murdered. You don't know them; they aren't you. They're not your kids, and if they were, maybe you would still support the ownership of firearms, since you're supporting a morally indefensible position, which would indicate that you're a person of questionable morality. The lives don't matter; what matters is that you have the power to kill, a power that you didn't earn, a power that you obtained with no sacrifice, no discipline, and no responsibility. That power was freely given. No questions were asked about your mental acumen or your reasons for wanting to own a firearm. You were not required to undergo any training to prove your fitness for owning a deadly weapon, you were simply given one and told to have at it. You have the power to make someone's life disappear in an instant with a pull of a trigger, and it's granted to you with the frivolity of a purchase at Wal-mart. And you're cool with all of that? This is how it should be, and there's no changing it, and every so often the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of all the innocents who've died because of America's gun obsession? 

 

I feel as though America is dying from its own disease.
