It literally hurts me... in the core of my being... that there exists such emotionally-led people devoid of logic and reason whose votes get to have any kind of say, and even equal weight as my own vote, in terms of deciding upon rules which will affect ME... especially when it comes to topics they literally know NOTHING about!
The AUDACITY of these politicos living in nice cushy neighborhoods... to have the GALL to think THEY know what's best for the very real security needs of folks faced with the dilemma of living in Broke-n-Po Ghetto-@$$ neighborhoods.
I'm fortunate enough now, that thru my own responsible work and effort I made sure to get the hell on out of the kinds of places I grew up in, at a young age. And I now enjoy living in a safe neighborhood. BUT....BUT.... I will NEVER forget what it was like living in those lesser places. The very real and ever-present security concerns you're faced with when in such places. What it was like having to drive my MIL back to 1-block away from where the Rodney King Riots started on the day it happened! The shizzle I saw that day. I feel certain if I could somehow transmit those memories into the countries collective conscious that they'd wake the hell up out of the naive sleep many of them have been lulled into by virtue of being lucky enough that their forefathers worked hard to get them moved into better neighborhoods to grow up in.
And certainly nowadays I HAVE to believe the rest of the world has seen that our governance, aka LEO's... aren't always "righteous". With observations only those of us in Ghetto 'hoods used to be privy to knowing about before. My point being, they've GOT to be aware by now that threat can come from both the good side and the bad side. And the prevailing thought I've always had on that matter has always been "If the police can have it, then you and I damn well better be allowed to have it too." Anything else is just BEGGING to have this place we all love turn into a totalitarian state.
And the truly SICK part? These people pushing for gun legislation? They DO NOT f***ing care about anyones safety. All they care about is having another "Wow!"-looking achievement on their political resumes. That's it. Anybody who believes otherwise is a Gawd Damned Fool.
