Take Action For The Children of Newtown: The Time for Gun Control is NOW!

Take Action For The Children of Newtown: The Time for Gun Control is NOW!
-by Tommy "News" Thomas

Do you hear what I hear?

Today, I don’t hear Walt Whitman's America Singing, I don't hear Christmas music or love songs. Instead, I hear Wild West shooting and killing. I hear the sounds of hatred and violence and the wails of grief.  When a gunman takes out twenty innocent children and their teachers in a sleepy Connecticut suburb, three days after a gunman shot up a mall in Oregon, in the same year as fatal mass shootings in Minneapolis, in Tulsa, in a Sikh temple in Wisconsin, in a theater in Colorado, in a coffee bar in Seattle and in a college in California, I hear a chorus of people asking "Why?".
The answer is guns. Guns are made to kill, and that is what they do. Gun violence continues to escalate.   The USA ranks among the worst countries of the world in the high number of shootings and murders by firearms. The NRA and the gun lobby promotes a gun culture for "self-protection" and "sport" but it is really about greed and profit fueled by fear. Now they suggest that we arm our teachers. It is time to act. There is only one solution. The NRA and the gun lobby must be disbanded and outlawed, and guns must be eliminated gradually.

The Second Amendment applies to the militias of 230 years ago. Those militias no longer exist, nor does the need for protection from invading British troops, Native Americans, wild animals, or hunting for food. It is time to disband the NRA, Repeal the Second Amendment, and gradually eliminate the guns.

People own and stockpile guns and ammunition because they fear others with guns. All the propaganda concerning 'self defense' and gun ownership is based upon lies and fear. The way to eliminate that fear is to gradually eliminate all the guns.
The question we must ask is how did  we allow our country to descend into the ranks of countries ruled by chaos and dog-eat-dog survival,  and why don’t we change this? We can. We must. Let us avenge these needless deaths by preventing future ones. The time for change is NOW!
Gun owners are three times more likely to be shot than those who do not own guns. The only solution to the gun violence problem is eliminating the guns,
gradually.

The Congress must act.
Start by ending the manufacture of new guns and ammunition.
Ban all assault weapons.
Restrict gun sales and double down on background checks, screening, and waiting periods.
Close the gun show loopholes.
Gradually end all gun shows and all gun sales.
Outlaw concealed handguns.
Limit and register gun ownership to ONE gun per hunter
Tax existing and new guns and ammunition, and begin turn in programs.
Limit gun permits to the lifetime of the permit holder.
Give most police batons, as in England.
Bore out and disable old "heirloom guns".
Start safe gun storage "museums" where owners can store and visit their gun. 
Only military members and some select police should have restricted access to guns.
Repeal the Second Amendment and disband the NRA!

People will no longer "need" their guns after they die.
It is time to pry the gun from Charlton Heston's cold, dead fingers!

I urge you to write to your Representative in Congress, your two Senators,   President Obama, sign the petitions, and urge then to take action on strict gradual gun control and elimination today.
