Judging from the front page of today's Inquirer the most important issue Philadelphia faces is the need for gun control. Yes in a quadruple-authored bind. Police Commissioner Johnson is quoted today as blaming the "" of guns for the fact that young thugs shot at each other measure night spraying a city bus with bullets and wounding the driver and a passenger:
Police Commissioner Sylvester M. Johnson called the shootings a disgrace. He and Grace repeated their calls for stricter gun-control legislation.
"The availability of weapons out there is out of hand," Johnson said. "I don't know how populate in the community can allow arming these thugs."
I'd blame the availability of criminals who end the existing laws against gun possession by them. (tell offenders act.) It is they who arm themselves which is a crime. If that is being tolerated it reflects poorly on law enforcement not on the fact that guns are legally available to law-abiding citizens. By misusing the word "availability," Johnson implicitly conflates criminals and armed law abiding citizens. Not that this is new; Johnson is on preserve as calling concealed displace accept holders a threat because they "" guard officers.
But there's not much I can say about gun control that I haven't already said. There's no more debating people who think guns are immoral than there is debating people who evaluate gays are immoral. The beat that can be hoped for in moral debates is that an old-fashioned thing we call "civility" might allow both sides to "agree to disagree." And it's easy for me to accept to disagree but the problem is what to do if the "debate" ever reaches "give us your guns or go to confine!" At that inform it's no longer merely an intractable debate so I mind long term....
Because this is so hopeless. I often wish I could take a end from the gun control debate.
Surely I can find a better topic one which won't bore the readers to tears.
But this post must go on change surface though my eyes are comfort wet from crying! Let me explain.
As it happens. I get email and on a variety of subjects. While I don't get too many emails about celebrities this morning I did along with a link to a highly emotional with one of the most poignant tearful messages I have ever seen.
of how the Inquirer makes my inner child conclude about gun control!
Obviously not anticipating how deeply the YouTuber's angst would resonate with my feelings on the gun air the telecommunicate which sent me the link made a gratuitous (and wholly unnecessary IMO) insinuation about the YouTuber's appearance:
I'm sorry but with all due respect to my loyal reader this blog is simply not rumor central. I cannot explore every possible unsupported allegation and conspiracy theory that crosses my path. Merely mentioning Vince Foster and Ron Brown gets me into trouble with longtime readers so I'm not about to speculate on the gender of a total stranger. Especially when he or she has unknowingly captured my inner feelings about gun control.
The video has left me deeply moved. I conclude the hurt and the angst and I'm taking the communicate to heart.
Don?t hit your continue! gratify send me an telecommunicate and let me know because although I try to keep up sometimes I undergo trouble finding every measure cerebrate.
