Domestic Terrorism Should be Priority Number One for Voters in November
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
According to the FBI, domestic terrorism is the greatest
danger to the American people. Once again, the media is placing sensationalism
ahead of the important issues to increase corporate profits.
THE FOURTH ESTATE CONTINUES TO FAIL ITS PURPOSE
Television “news” is placing its focus on the presidential
candidates: one a hard-working President, and the other a wannabe dictator.
Regardless, both are boring as hell. What should be in the headlines every day
is the increasing number of mass shootings in America.
2023 was the most violent year in American history, and 2024
is poised to become more deadly. Seven years ago we were shocked by the fact
that the number of mass shootings outnumbered the days on the calendar. This
has become the norm in the 21st century.
AMERICA HAS EARNED THE TITLE OF “MOST DANGEROUS COUNTRY IN
THE WORLD”
The truth you will never hear from the media is frightening.
The United States is the most dangerous country in the world. No place is safe.
There have been mass shootings in the workplace, Churches, Mosques, Synagogues,
schools, movie theaters, grocery stores, malls, restaurants, bars, concerts,
literally everywhere people gather in groups.
MONEY WINS AND THE PEOPLE LOSE
This situation can easily be fixed. However, in America
money is more important than human lives. The NRA is nothing but a lobby for
gun manufacturers and gun sellers. To protect these billion-dollar industries
the NRA hides behind the ambiguous and poorly written Second Amendment. They
lie, claiming that banning any of these weapons of mass destruction, and high
output magazines is a violation of the Constitution. If this was factual, how
can our government ban any type of bullet? It is against the law to sell armor
piercing rounds and hollow points. More hypocrisy by the most corrupt
government in the world.
Handguns and assault rifles have only one purpose: to kill
human beings. There is no reason why these deadly weapons should be sold to
average citizens. The self-defense argument is bogus. Shotguns and rifles are
far more effective than handguns, and assault rifles are ridiculous.
THE UNITED STATES IS FINALLY FIRST IN SOMETHING
America is the only country in the world with this problem.
The reason is clear. Regardless of the laws and regulations which currently
exist, anyone can buy any type of weapon any time they choose to do so. High
output magazines and bump stocks are readily available.
MORE STATISTICS ABOUT PREVENTABLE GUN VIOLENCE
Approximately 300 children kill someone or are killed from
the use of handguns in America each year. The numbers are uncertain because no
records are kept by law enforcement. At fault are gun owners who choose to keep
loaded guns in their homes in places accessible to small children. This careless
situation is unforgivable.
In 1976 the NRA published a pamphlet encouraging gun owners
to keep unloaded guns and their ammunition locked up in separate locations.
Those pamphlets are no longer in existence.
