Yero,
The fact that anyone can get a gun and go on these senseless killing sprees and that we or our children can be victims of this senseless violence is very sobering indeed. The unfortunate and sad fact is that the weapons manufacturers who are behind the gun lobby are the reason for the failure to get any meaningful gun control laws passed. It is another example of how big business wins and the average guy looses.

Subject: The Nebraska Mall shooting by a teenager
The recent shooting in a Nebraska mall by a teenager is not strange in the
society we live-America. Like those in trials normally say “If not one thing is
another.” It is also true that history repeats itself time and again, thousands
of miles apart. But how can we not care about it, even if you are from Pluto?
The truth remains we live in the society and our children virtually are rooted
here. What has happened to our society? It is two tendencies here; (1) You or a
love one could be a victim of the trigger. (2) Your child or love one could be
the criminal, as long as the society’s gun-controlled laws are not strong. How
much does a bullet cost? How much does a gun cost? What criteria are required to
own a gun? What is the gun business like? In my eyes, for a long time, the tool
for defense against an enemy or attack has seized to be for defense any longer;
instead it is for the offense. The tool is a weapon for the offensive on purely
innocent individuals.

In the CNN article above, we witnessed yet another tragedy of what Baldeh called
months back the deeds of a “troubled kid.”

To you I ask how we can arrest the nagging problem of gun violence. If you have
an answer you can save a life including your won.
I think that the shit needs to be turned-off like an electric switch. Caprice!!!
Yero.
