It's NOT the GUNS, it's US!

America has gone INSANE. Too many Americans are losing perspective. Most of us have good intentions, we just want to find a way to avoid tragedy. Where things get mucky is when we start debating and implementing certain ideas on HOW to do this.

First, let's take GUNS. GUNS don't kill. SUV's don't kill. Box cutters don't kill. PEOPLE KILL! This story is a perfect example of the kind of story that sparks debate over gun control:

Man Holding Daughter Killed in Road Rage

BROCKTON, Mass. -- A man lifting his infant daughter out of his car was killed in an apparent case of road rage by a motorist "who obviously exploded" and shot him four times at close range in front of dozens of witnesses, authorities said.

The victim's 10-month-old girl was covered with blood but uninjured when police found her in a car seat on the floor of the vehicle.

Walter R. Bishop, 60, who was taking medication for depression, was arrested Tuesday and charged with first-degree murder in the death of 27-year-old Sandro Andrade. He pleaded innocent and was ordered held without bail; a hearing was scheduled for Aug. 26....

The other debate topic in this article is the whole medication issue. Lovely how we just want to shove personal responsibility under the rug all the time. Drugs, alcohol, a cheating husband, the dog told me, etc- IT'S NEVER MY FAULT! BOLOGNI!

I will certainly concede that putting a 60 yr old man on medication sets off alarms. I have found in some of my research for other topics, that physicians often don't take into account how an elderly body processes these drugs differently than say a man in his thirties. That being said, "TOO BAD!" Any one who CHOOSES a GUN as the way to deal with anger over a TRAFFIC INCIDENT DOESN'T NEED TO BE LOOSE ON THE STREET!
