IT"S PAST TIME

It's past time for some gun control in this country of ours. When are people going to wake up and realize that this isn't a good thing for our country. Innocent  people,  children, are  dying because of the gun happy  people we have in this  country of ours. Yes I have used the word country alot  because that's what  I am talking about. Out of  control guns and gun ownership in  our  country! 

The NRA has gotten out of control for one thing. It is beyond my comprehension how any human could not be touched  in some way by this  tragic  occurrence in Charleston SC and the horrible tragedy in Newtown.  This is  just one example of what  I mean: "National Rifle Association board member Charles Cotton blamed Clementa Pinckney, a state senator and pastor at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, for his own death and for the death of his parishioners in Charleston this week, Thinkprogress reports. " Where is this man's  moral compass?! Blame everyone and everything except the homegrown Terrorist Thug and the gun he was using! It's not the same NRA that it was back in the day. Now it is a Political Powerhouse! It's time to take them down!!

It is my opinion the ONLY reason to have a gun is that you intend on  killing someone or something.   Think about it. Some  people say they get a gun for protection...well if someone tries to hurt you what are you going to do...shoot them. Some people say they get a gun for target practice...well  when you do  shoot at targets what are you doing...executing  a shoot to  kill tactic. Some people say I  got a gun to shoot skeet...well what are doing when you shoot those skeet..yep a shoot to  kill tactic. Some people say they get  a  gun to go hunting...well when you go hunting what  do you do...shoot and kill  an animal.  Violence and destruction and  guns  go together!

I will never forget the comment made by Wayne LaPierre  Executive VP  of  the NRA  after the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting  in Newtown Connecticut almost 3 years ago when he had a press converence. Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Hook_Elementary_School_shooting 
"The  only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, Is a good  guy with a gun." More guns  that is NOT the  answer. The  sad thing about that is that so many people agreed with him because the gun sales  rose!!

It seems the only time people get all riled up about gun control is  when a tragedy happens. My  thoughts are that if nothing happened when our children of Newtown  were massacred then nothing will ever happen to curve  this country's need  for  guns!! What does this say about our  country? It  says plenty.

I dedicate this blog to all those that have lost their lives to gun  violence at the hands of a homegrown Terrorist Thug(s) Rest In Peace 

SOMETHING GOIN ON ROUND HERE

Here are the headlines in North Carolina: Republican-led NCGA overturns SB2 Veto, thereby allowing civil magistrates and register-of-deeds to "opt out" of addressing marriages they personally disagree with. ‪#‎SB2‬ ‪#‎NCGA‬ ‪#‎stopSB2‬‪#‎NCpol‬. Tell me how is this legal? And how are they (GOP Led N.C. General Assembly) able to get away with breaking the constitution and the law? This is only part of the shenanigan's that these conservatives are getting away with here in my Native North Carolina. The veto part of this is that our Conservative Governor Pat McCrory vetoed this bill not allowing magistrates to break the law. Then wouldn't you know it, his cohorts overrode his veto. Like Pat didn't know that this was going to happen.

Why is it that these conservatives find it necessary to harass a small minority of people instead of fixing things that are broken in our state? Namely roads and unemployment. Granted this is nothing like the civil rights of African American's back in the 60's and in our history. The violence that took place is certainly nothing like this minority bashing. But at the same time it is still taking basic rights away from a small minority group of individuals. When are people going to get mad and take a stand! We do have our Moral Monday Movement and we do have NAACP on our side with Dr. William Barber. It is almost as if we take 2 step forward only to take 3 steps back with this NCGA ( North Carolina General Assembly) or and don't forget the GOP led.

This conservative NCGA is also getting into Women's Rights to bare children or not to bare children. Yes Abortion or lack there of! I have always felt that it is NONE of MY business what a woman does with or to her body. If she wants or even needs an Abortion it is NONE of MY business just as it is NONE of the NCGA's business!! Yes another broken promise of Pat McCrory's. He said he would never interfere with Women's Rights. Well he has.

Why can't these conservatives just leave the LGBT community and Women Alone! Deal with the things that matter most. Not family but roads and unemployment. My hope is that people will wake up and see that this is just hurting this state!!

Yep there is most definitely Something Goin On Round Here!
