THE NATURE OF VIOLENCE

 Someday I’m going to watch this show and maybe one or two others I have lying around. This entirely fictitious video brings the reality of guns to the front. A lot of people who own them never fired them, never fired one in the dark and never considered what will happen to the ambivalent gunman holding a gun they don’t know how to use. I think a bad 45% of Americans that have guns they bought legally at a gun store or inherited, will be amazed at how useless a gun can be. We hope it never comes to that.

Over the years I got used to hearing at the Investigation the following words, "I was showing him/her how to safely draw and aim the gun and it accidentally went off." I think the scariest monsters you'll ever meet unless you roam the inner city or marriage counselor's parking lots might well be, some gunner's mate or law enforcement officer showing a girl how to hold the gun properly. The number of holes decorating the immediate vicinity are a testament to just how damned dangerous guns really are even in the "right" hands.
