A letter to Mr. Pierre and Other Gun Tools

To Wayne La Pierre, the NRA, Assorted Gun Bullies, and other Tools of the gun Lobby,
Dear Mr. La Pierre, et al.
So one of your gun screwballs again performed mass murder in Santa Monica, California with an assault weapon before being himself killed by the police. Doesn't it make sense to you humans that fighting the creation of gun safety laws harms the safety of law abiding citizens? The more readily available guns are, the more likely crazy people will buy them to kill other people. You greedy gun bullies value your toys and the money you make by selling them above the lives of others. No reasonable person could possibly believe your lies when you argue that more guns means more safety. It just doesn't make sense. And I am not talking about the lives of the rest of the creatures that you kill for "sport." What kind of sport is it that the deer, rabbits, and others that you kill don't have guns to fight back. Using your logic, maybe they should be also be armed. Then you could sell more guns and make more money.
Incidentally, the Second Amendment of the Constitution provides for "a well regulated militia". That today is known as the National Guard. It does not say that you must not have universal background checks or that private individuals should be more heavily armed than the police.

Second Amendment Interpretation for Gun Nuts

Hi Humans,
I live in Northridge, California, where if one wants to e-mail Mr. Wilk, the local State Representative, about gun safety, one must choose between support or oppose the Second Amendment. That is code that says he opposes gun control (gun  safety). The issue is actually between for or against gun control (gun safety). The Second Amendment says that states can form militias (the National Guard). In fact it says a "well regulated militia." It doesn't say that every screwball can arm himself with all kinds of weapons, which is how the NRA, the gun lobby, and the present radical right Republican party interpret it.
If it is obvious to a little dog like me, why can't you humans with your big brains see it? If I were human and could vote, I wouldn't vote for a guy like that.

Austerity

Hi Humans,
We dogs know that we must pay for what we get. Perform a trick and you get a treat. Misbehave and you pay a punishment. But many humans don't seem to think that way. They want a treat for other's performance, and they want others to pay for their misbehavior. For example, look at those humans who preach austerity but really mean austerity for other humans. They want to cut taxes and pay for the tax cuts with less government services. That is because taxes affect them more than services. They want to shift the cost to those who would be more affected by services. But it is not always clear as to who would be affected by what. Recently, the sequester hit the airline industry because of lay offs of air traffic controllers. Now all of a sudden austerity became inconvenient, so Congress fixed it by shifting money from elsewhere. Eventually, the bite will reach the elsewhere, and if their constituents are vocal enough, Congress will have to play the shell game again. Maybe, eventually, they will find a fair balance between taxes and services. Maybe they will raise taxes and give it another name to save face. That's another trick that humans like to do. Fortunately, we dogs live a more simple life and understand a more simple vocabulary.

Shame on the Senators Who Serve the NRA

Hi Humans,
So now the tools of the gun lobby in the US Senate have blocked universal backgound check legislation (which is supported by the majority of the Senate and the American people) by political maneuvering. Shame on them for placing what they perceive as political expediency over the safety of the US citizens. Humans, it is time to throw the rascals out. If your senator voted agains universal background checks, vote him or her out at the next election or better still ask for a recall. Let your senator know that you won't stand for this insanity. You don't want every screwball to have easy access to all kinds of guns so that the gun manufacturers can make more money at the expense of your safety and the safety of your family.
That's what this little dog thinks. But what do I know? I'm just a dog.

Gun Freedom????

Humans who equate guns and liberty at the expense of the safety of everyone else are not talking about real liberty. Real liberty respects the rights of everyone including the right to freedom from harm. What the NRA wants is actually selfishness. But what do I know? I'm just a dog.

Sport

Hi Humans,
Why do you call hunting a sport? I'm sure the deer doesn't consider being hunted a sport. Now, if the deer were somehow able to shoot back at the hunter, that would be sporting. But that would be silly, wouldn't it?

A Hope for the New Year

Hi Humans,
Happy New Year! Let's hope that 2013 is the year when you Humans will have the courage to finally stand up to the gun bullies that run the NRA and demand an end to
1. the ease with which any screwball can buy a gun over the internet or at a gun show without regulation.
2. magazines that hold multiple bullets.
3. weapons that can fire multiple bullets without reloading.
Let's hope for the best.
