In the last 5-10 years I have asked myself these two questions too many times- especially every time something terrible happens in our country. Events like mass killings, spur these questions- they echo in my head, they emanate feelings of grief and sadness, and they invade my heart and my thoughts.
So, in order to cope, to alleviate my anguish and my sadness- to get rid of these depressing thoughts, I try to find logical explanations to this senseless violence. I deduct, think and suspect, that there are too many guns in America. And in fact there are! Look at the statistics. We all know that our government invests too much money on weapons. Yes, we need to protect America, but why spend more than the whole world? Simply immoral!
Then there are many legislators (mostly republicans- that's also another sad reality), that do not do anything, and/or try something new, or even follow good old common sense- to stop and/or reduce the bloodshed by guns- like passing reasonable gun control laws. No, they will not, they like to kiss ass instead! Pardon my French. But I'm really fed up with them, and with the NRA, the gun lobby and all those who profit from weapons/violence! They are simply disgusting! DEGRADING! I have only two words to describe such low class individuals...HYPOCRITES and COWARDS!
Then, there are too many Americans think that they will be safer with more guns (as if the ones they already have aren't enough). But this isn't the truth- it's not reality. We have seen what millions of guns in the hands of the wrong people have done so far. There is a mass killing almost on a daily basis in our country. A thing that happens only in America!
Many people claim that the American society is civilized and the most advanced in the world. But how can this be? If America is the most violent in the world? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out! The reason is very simple: the USA is the most armed country in the world! Look at the stats, at the charts, read the newspapers, go on Google. The info. is everywhere- don't believe politicians and/or gun loving freaks when they say: We need to spend more money on defense! We need more guns! Bull! we don't! Look at the chart below, and then visit
www.National Priorities.com and get more facts on where/how our government spends our tax dollars.
America spends more on armaments and/or guns than all the other countries. And despite the fact that the majority (70%) of Americans say they are Christians the facts prove otherwise. In fact, Americans love and are set to defend their personal freedom, their free choice, at ALL costs- even sacrificing 33 thousand of its citizens on a yearly basis with firearms. In addition, since 1974 (when the Supreme Court approved the legalization of abortion, Roe-vs-Wade) millions of children have been aborted- lives ended even before they were born.
It is obvious that many in America love their personal freedoms more than they love human life. They are fixated on the 2nd Amendment (the right to carry firearms)- to them even to Joe smuck should own guns. In other words anyoneshould be armed- no matter their age, mental condition and/or criminal record. They believe that almost anyone (including children- and soon animals!) should have the right to own a gun. Simply pathetic! So far more guns have produced more deaths!
Then, there many Republican legislators who haven't yet had the moral courage to approve a single one of the myriad of common sense gun control legislation. Law proposals that have been put forth by decent, caring legislators. Measures that could have prevented many mass killings- that were committed with automatic weapons at the hands of terrorists, violent fanatics, lunatics (mentally unstable) and many other criminals. Republican lawmakers you are repulsive! I hope and pray that you will lose at the next elections!
The misconception of the 2nd Amendment. It guaranteed an armed militia, not an armed population- like the one we have now. Results?!? 33 thousand murders in the USA every year!
People should be allowed to have guns, but what about the criminals, the irresponsible, the terrorists, the lunatics, the mentally unstable, the crazy ones? Why do these individuals should have the right to arm themselves with all kinds of powerful automatic/assault weapons? This is indeed madness!
I suspect that another reason for love of guns in America is the fear, the misconception, that many have- they feel the need to be armed so that they can protect themselves- in case our government (the USA) becomes tyrannical (a dictatorship). This is absurd!
I was a veteran for over 30 years, and I assure you that all of my fellow veterans would never shoot civilians. Why? Because veterans have sworn to defend the Constitution and sworn to protect civilians/prisoners of war. We would never shoot on civilians, unless they posed a danger to us. For example, if they shoot first. Veterans cannot shoot/harm civilians because they have to follow the UCMJ, the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Which is a very strict code, a set of rules, that vets are required to know and learn. These rules are pounded in our brain, the veteran's brain, every year- when you're in the military. The UCMJ rules teach us us how to fight in a war. And if we break them willingly, we go to jail. In addition, if a veteran breaks one of these rules, he/she also loses his/her dignity- which is something even more precious and serious (to us veterans). Breaking these rules means being dishonorably discharged and/or going to jail and losing your face, your honor. And I think, that so far, only a few of our veterans have committed these crimes (of not following the UCMJ). A few of our vets have broken these rules of engagement (rules of war) only against the enemy- never against their compatriots. So, rest assured that the American military will never turn against its own people and will never shoot on their own people/families. American vets will shoot their own people only if they are terrorists (traitors) trying to destroy Americans and their property.
ANOTHER TYPE OF VIOLENCE IS ENDING THE LIFE OF A CHILD BEFORE IT IS BORN. Many Americans think that they have this right- the right to TERMINATE A NEW LIFE in the mother's womb- when a child becomes an inconvenience to them. They want/demand this option, the choice to eliminate the life of that child before it starts. This form of violence is not so visible, yet it is destructive.
So, it is obvious that these two groups of Americans do not care about human lives (those who love the 2A, or 2nd Amendment, and those who cling to the right to have abortions on request). Their personal freedom takes precedence over human life. Hence, they do not care that 33,000 Americans are killed like beasts every year, and they could care less that millions of children are eliminated before they even come into the world. This is the cost of American personal freedom. It is paid with lots of innocent human blood!
So, my next question is, when will this bloodshed stop? Maybe when 100 thousand are killed by guns year? Or maybe when everyone has an abortion? Hence, no more children are born. Or will the violence stop only when God intervenes and does justice? It seems to me that American society is going in that direction- only divine intervention will be able to save this country from its violent madness- its love of innocent blood and death by guns.
Many others, like me, wonder why there is so much violence in America? What can we expect from all these weapons? What you can one expect from a selfish mentality? One that seeks only its own selfish personal freedoms?
The so-called Christian Americans- those who blindly believe in the 2nd Amendment and abortion on demand- what do they expect with more weapons? The answer, the results that we've seen so far is less security and more deaths! We've had more murders in the USA that in any other country in the world! You use guns and you shall perish the guns! Does this sound familiar? Where did we hear a similar phrase?
Christians should know! The Bible is very clear on the use of weapons, Jesus said it: "Who ever uses the sword shall perish with the sword!"
But there are two other similar/popular sayings: What goes around comes around. And: "You reap what you saw." In case you're don't know, let me explain their meanings. The first one means, what you do to others will come back to you (if it is good, then it'll be good for you), but if it is bad then it will hunt you and/or bite in the ass (hurt you- but you deserved it!). The second saying means the same thing, whatever you do (good and/or evil) will find its way back to you.
It is depressing that too many Americans do not pay attention to these popular sayings, or they may have forgotten them, or they simply don't care about the repercussions of their actions. I think that if they were real Christians and they really thought about this phrase by Jesus: "Who ever uses the sword shall perish with the sword!" They would think twice, and maybe we wouldn't have so many murdres.
So, Jesus was right when he also said: "They worship me with their lips, not their hearts!" Jesus said this because many say that they love Him, but it isn't true, because do not follow His teachings- they do not do what He taught them to do- they do not follow His commandment. That is love your neighbor. Not your guns! Not your 2A, andor love the convenience to abort as you like!

Italian version/ versione italiana:
Perché 33 mila americani vengono uccisi con armi da fuoco ogni anno? Perché tanta violenza in America? Paura, idee sbagliate, convenienza, avidità, e totale disprezzo e mancanza di rispetto per la vita umana sono i fattori che contribuiscono al crescente numero di omicidi negli Stati Uniti.
Il motivo di questa incivilta' e' molto semplice: gli USA sono il paese piu' armato del mondo! L'America spende di piu' di tutto il mondo sugli armamenti.
E nonostante il fatto che la maggioranza (quasi il 70%) degli Americani dicono di essere cristiani- i fatti non lo dimostrano. Difatti, la societa' Americana e' fissata a difendere la liberta' personale- la libera scelta- A TUTTI I COSTI- anche quella di massacrare i suoi cittadini- con le armi da fuoco, e di massacrare innocenti ancora non nati- con l'aborto a richiesta! Il che avviene da tanto tempo, dal 1974 (quando la Corte Suprema USA approvo' la legalizzazione dell'aborto, con la legge Roe-vs-Wade). Infatti, dal '74 migliaia di vite umane vengono terminate ogni anno- prima ancora che possano nascere.
Dato i fatti, e' ovvio che molti in America amano di piu' il 2ndo Emendamento, molto di piu' delle vite umane. Questo emendamento e anche chiamato il 2A (il diritto costituzuionale al porto d'armi) . E tanti altri americani amano anche IL DIRITTO DI TERMINARE UNA NUOVA VITA UMANA- ancora prima che venga al modo. A questi Americani, non gli frega niente del prossimo- (33 mila Americani vengono trucidati come bestie ogni anno con le armi da fuoco), e che altretanti milioni di bambini vengono eliminati prima ancora di venire al mondo, con l'aborto- perche' per loro, i bambini sono un'incovenienza.
Quando si fermera' questo spargimento di sangue? Forse quando si arrivera' a 100 mila morti all'anno per mezzo delle armi da fuoco? O forse quando non si faranno piu' bambini? Perche' sono un peso ingombrante?
O forse dovra' intervenire Dio per fare giustizia? Mi sembra che la societa' Americana sta' andando in quella direzione- solo l'intervento divino potra' salvare questo paese violento e amatore delle armi e della morte.
Molti si chiedono perche' tutta questa violenza? Che cosa c'e da aspettarsi con tutte queste armi? Cosa ci si puo' aspettare da una mentalita' egoista, che gl'interessa solo la liberta' personale? A costo di averla non gli frega un bel niente spazzar via 33 mila vite umane! Come se fossero cani! I cosidetti cristiani Americani, quelli che credono ciecamente nel 2ndo Emendamento, cosa si aspettano con piu' armi? L'aspettativa, secondo loro e' piu sicurezza...invece i fatti provano il contario- piu armi e piu' morti! Gesu' nella Bibbia e' molto chiaro sull'uso delle armi, perche' Lui disse: "Chi con la spada ferisce, con la spada perisce!" I fatti danno ragione al Vangelo! Peccato che molti Americani, sebbene cristiani, non mettono in atto le parole del Signore. Si sono dimenticati, o non gli frega niente che il priomo comandamento e' di amre il prossimo, non le propie armi, e non il 2ndo emendamento il diritto del porto d'armi, ne l'aborto a richiesta! ma di amare, proteggere e rispettare la vita umana!
I legislatori republicani al Congresso (Parlamento) USA, sono in parte colpevoli per i 33 mila morti annuali a causa delle armi da fuoco. Questi codardi non vogliono approvare leggi sensate per prevenire i criminali violenti, i terrorist, i pazzi e quelli squilibrati d'impossessarsi di armi. Non vogliono passare leggi di controllo selle armi da fuoco. Certo, ricevono mazzette legali (soldi) dai lobby delle armi da fuoco, da quelli che li manufatturano, quelli che li vendono, e quelli che li difendono, come la NRA (l'Associazione Portatori d'Armi da Fuoco USA). Vigliacchi garantiscono gli affari e i guadagni, ma non vogliono proteggere vite umane! CODARDI! Spero e prego che alle prossime elezioni presidenziali perderete grosso!
