A TOOTHPASTE, A CARTON OF MILK AND TWO KILOS OF BULLETS...PLEASE

So, one (not so) fine day in Aurora, Colorado, a certain james Holmes goes on a murder spree in a movie house. It is not the first time such an act has shocked a nation and, unfortunately, one would be a fool to believe that it will be the last.
Then, there's a parade of psychiatrists trying to dissect and analyze Holmes' psyche trying to pinpoint the reason that pushed him to pick up the gun...

Hush child, go to sleep
It's only the sound of a gun
Hush child, do not weep
It's only the sound of a world on the run
You're hearing the sound of a gun


"The Sound Of A Gun"   (CHRIS DE BURGH)





You know, my biggest fear is having to wake up one morning and miss my daily meeting with SANITY! When common logic cannot prevail then it is time for the shrinks, the whitecoats, the
technocrats...
Let's find out who molested him as a child, unravel his childhood's dark pages. Why did James Holmes kill so many people?

Eeerm...maybe because he had a gun, folks? It maybe my simplistic way of thinking and maybe utter
nonsense, don't let it detract from finding the real reasons-what do I know, I'm just a simpleton...

But...say he had a kitchen knife, would the bloodbath have been of this proportion?...nah don't pay
attention to ordinary me...

But, if you can purchase two kilos of bullets as easily as you can purchase two kilos of tomatoes then it is a different ballgame. Because demented people will always be a part of society. Everyday, some people will have something crack up in their brain, Should we turn them into killers by giving them easy access to murder weapons?
Once you let special interests (in this case, the NRA) compromise your policy, then, subsequently you
compromise Democracy. And a compromised Democracy, evidently, can be murderous...

You don't have to be a Jew
To disapprove of murder
Tears burn in our eyes
Moslem or Christian, Mullah or Pope
Preacher or poet, who was it wrote
Give anyone species too much rope
And they'll f**k it up

IMAGINARY SCENARIO : A man on a killing spree enters a house and shoots dead the wife, the 4
                                                 children, the maid and the dog. It is revealed that that it is the family of
                                                 the CEO of the company that manufactured the gun.
                                                 And the camera zooms in on his face...

"...England, where no one has guns : 14 deaths.
United States, and I think you know how we feel about guns-whoo!
I'm getting a stiffy!-23000 deaths from handguns.
But there is no connection and you'd be a fool and a communist to
make one. There is no connection between having a gun and shooting someone, and not having a gun and not shooting someone...OK, though admittedly last year in England they had 23000 deaths per soccer game..."
