Another Homicide by a Radical with a Gun

Hi Humans,
So we hear on the news that a crazy radical right wing gun nut killed 2 people and wounded 9 others in a Louisiana movie theater before he shot himself when confronted by the police. It is a too familiar story and one that could have been prevented by sane gun laws. Yet the NRA and the gun bullies continue to preach gun anarchy. In the building in Chicago where we spend part of the year, there is a sign next to the front door that invites gunmen into the common areas of the building as long as they are present for lawful purposes. As though that would be make the building more safe? In the same building dogs are not allowed in the common areas. But dogs would be a better deterrent to crime than guns would ever be. Maybe a criminal might not be phased by a little dog like me (although if not seen my bark might be loud and scary), but some of my big tough pit bull colleagues that I meet in the elevator would frighten away any criminal more than some little human amateur vigilante with a gun. Research has shown a positive relationship between private gun ownership and homicides:

One is more likely to be killed by a neighbor with a gun who goes beserk than by an intruder. So if you want to be safe get rid of your gun and get a dog.

Easy Access to Guns

Hi Humans,
The gunman who killed all those people in the church in Charleston, South Carolina should not have had access to a gun. But in the gun anarchy you humans have created, easy access to guns keeps causing tragedy over and over again. And you look down on us dogs!

Little Humans with Big Guns

Hi Humans,
Did you see the picture of the latest mass gun murderer in the news? You know, the one who shot all those people in Charleston, South Carolina. The killer, like so many others like him, looks like a pitiful little shit. The irony is that the victims were educated accomplished productive people, a real loss to the community, and the little shit murderer was a nothing who needed to kill people to feel important. That is so typical of gun bullies. The "normal" ones need to kill defenseless animals of other species to feel important and call hunting a "sport." The extremely crazy ones like the recent killer (and the other similar mass gun killers we see in the news too frequently) carry it a step further and kill their own human species. And of course the NRA sets the stage for them by creating a gun anarchy in America which gives them easy access to guns for acting out.

Gun Murder in Charleston

We hear now about the hate murder at the church in Charleston, South Carolina yesterday. Yes, the murderer is probably mentally disturbed and influenced by a culture of hate that influences their mentally disturbed adherents to act out that hatred. But there is another factor that promotes this kind of violence. It is the lack of sensible gun control in the USA. Did you know the murderer was given a gun by his parents. What kind of mentality would give a gun as a gift?                                                  
As a result of this anarchy, tragedies occur over and over. No other first world country has the kind of gun violence that we have because they do not tolerate the kind of gun anarchy that occurs in the USA.

Congratulations Lucas! A Dog is Better than a Gun!

Hi Humans,
I heard on the news today that a police officer in Mississippi was ambushed by a group of three criminals. He saved himself from being killed not with his gun but rather by pressing a button that released Lucas, the Police Dog, from his car. Lucas attacked the thugs, biting one of them. The cowards fled the scene, leaving the police officer alive.
In the building in Chicago where Mom and Dad have a second home apartment, they allow guns anywhere in the building and even had a sign next to door the last time we were there bragging about it. Yet in the same building dogs are severely restricted as to where they can be. When Dad questioned the chairman of the homeowners board about this discrepancy, the chairman replied that the gun sign discourages criminals but dogs do not. What a bunch of crap!
Anyway, congratulations Lucas. you do our species proud.

NRA Controls Doctor Patient Relation in Florida

Hi Humans,
Did you know that in the State of Florida it is illegal for a physician to ask a patient if he owns a gun unless the question directly relates to the personal illness of the patient. That law does not apply to other illnesses that can affect other humans in the community like syphilis, AIDS, alcohol consumption, or use of illegal drugs, but the NRA even controls the doctor patient relationship when it comes to guns. This exists because of the desire of the gun lobby to do anything to maintain a gun anarchy and the stupidity of you humans in allowing it. We dogs would be more rational if we were in charge.
