I write books so I can remember my own advice. I've only learned the hard way: "It's important to avoid people who bring you down. Not in a cruel way, But avoid engaging or overly dwelling on people who are constantly draining you of energy." 馃摃Pg 4 of "Choose Yourself"
And if the example was set by the local and federal governments to prevent and lower the vehicular death toll, then the same should be done to prevent mass shootings. It鈥檚 long overdue. Lead by example. Be the example. #neveragain #betheexample #lead
We are asking that people of sound mind and judgement use them, just as we expect people of sound mind and judgement to drive. We expect for more care and caution be taken when selling guns, so that they won鈥檛 be use carelessly #neveragain
For me it鈥檚 all part of the BS that the Parkland students called out. I stand with them and with what they believe in. No one is trying to take away your guns, we鈥檙e asking for them to be more strictly monitored, regulated, and controlled....#neveragain
So, if we have stricter laws regarding an object used for transportation, which we understood could be dangerous if misused, then explain to me why it鈥檚 ok to have softer regulation and control for an object intended to kill that is more dangerous if misused? #neveragain
Sure there are consequences for the misuse of a gun. Yes. That鈥檚 all fine and dandy, but why do I have to pass a test to drive and obtain a license for my transportation and not for an object that is specifically intended to kill? #neveragain
Now, explain to me why an object that was specifically created to harm and kill people has less regulation and restrictions than a car, which was originally created to transport people? #neveragain...
Yet we realized that they could be dangerous if misused. So, we placed laws and regulations on people. You know, written exam, driving exam, a license, laws regarding drunk driving, traffic laws, etc. All this was done so that people would operate the vehicle safely...#neveragain
Let鈥檚 use cars as an example. Cars don鈥檛 kill people, people kill people. Ok. Well, we already established that. We can鈥檛 exactly slap an offense on a vehicle. That would just be silly. Cars, however, were originally intended for transportation...#neveragain
Well, of course we should punish the person who was responsible for the use of the firearm! We all know this. We have laws. We have punished thousands already because of this. So, already, that argument is stupidly redundant...#neveragain
First, it鈥檚 very obvious that people kill people. We know that inanimate objects do not come to life a la Woody and Buzz to kill anyone. Second, that argument is implying that we must punish whoever was the one controlling/wielding/using the gun...#neveragain
I鈥檝e seen this picture so many times in the last few years and my eyes roll at the basis of this argument each time. Let me explain why...#neveragain
