HOW IT CAN BE SET TO SATISFY!
Gun control, especially in the USA, can be a pretty heady subject but Americans should stop and think a little on how to handle this with respect for everyone that lives in their land.
It is now obvious to even the most stubborn gun lover in America, that the number of deaths has now risen to unprecedented heights and that it will not be long before the rampaging death toll will be one that will no longer be ignored. People wont be able to go to shopping centers without fear of terrorism and death. So where do we start and how can we [the opposed and the for] join together to make America safe from the most dangerous of weapons.
Fully Automatic Weapons
How can an American citizen own weapons that are designed for and used by the military? Their constitution enables them to own weapons in defense of their lives and family but to be able to own weapons of war is a little too heavy for the general public. Americans easily go after the Muslims when it comes to chastising that religion for being outdated in it's beliefs but the American constitution was written two hundred years or more ago and it too has seen it's day. It is easy to see that the men who go after the heavier automatic weapons have side issues that need to be looked at by the US Government but still, there is a safe way for those who like to feel Rambo-ish.
Gun Clubs and the Target Range.
All heavy automatic weapons including heavy pistols, should only be available to Gun Club members. Purchase of such should only be available at said Gun Clubs and all heavy weapons should be stored [and insured] at the Gun Club under lock and key. Gun clubs could even hire out such heavy weapons on their target range which area should be strictly and strongly organized. Small arms would still be available at gun shops for home protection but the larger weapons of war, which are not and should not be used for hunting animals. The heavy automatic weapons should not be available as an privately owned weapon, to anyone outside of the military or police forces unless they are stored permanently at a gun club.
Gun lovers should understand that sooner or later, someone is going to walk into the school, dance or shopping center where your family think they are safe from evil, how will you protect them if you are not there? Will you go on a gun rampage and murder those who have had nothing to do with the killings, will you be filled with murderous revenge and be just the same as the idiots that commit terror crimes?
You can manage quite well with small arms, shotguns and repeating rifles for their protection. Seriously, you do not need machine guns or RPG's unless of course you are planning a war yourself. Face it, you have allowed your juveniles to take your weapons out in public and do terrible damage, if you allowed this to happen, then you also should pay a penalty. The taking of innocent lives by thrill killers who get their weapons from their parent should be payed for by all concerned.

ABORTION YES OR NO?
Is Abortion Murder?
This is a question that has troubled millions of people over centuries and will probably go on doing so for thousands of years to come. Guilt is a very hard thing to overcome especially for young mothers to-be who cannot afford to have a child.
There are of course many medical reasons for need of an abortion, just as there are many financial reasons for the same need.
Religious factors.
Religion has for many years played a part in stopping abortions, especially the Catholic religion. Most claim that it is the murder of little children but this is countered by the argument that the child that is unborn is not yet a living human being in the truest sense of the word.
This is somewhat of a conundrum because how far back into a pregnancy does one go to show that the baby is no longer a living being? Is it when the baby is not moving or when it is has arrived at it's human form?
Which came first, the Chicken or the Egg?
This brings us to a very interesting point, is the egg that rests inside the mother, a living item or it an item in limbo until it is fertilized by the male sperm?
And what of Sperm, what in goodness name are they, millions of them? This is where the argument can become out-of-reach to even the most dedicated scientist. A Caterpillar is alive and eating until it has absorbed enough energy to be able to cocoon itself and make that most marvelous transition to a Butterfly or Moth. Sperm may not be exactly the same as a caterpillar but they too are alive and moving before they fertilize the female egg. This means that every man who masturbates onto the ground, down a toilet or into tissues is murdering not one but millions of his prospective babies. There is no difference, none at all because like all life on Earth, Sperm were born in a primordial soup inside the male body just as life had it's beginnings a billion years ago. Women [and Men] who swallow those little billion year old swimmers, are actually cannibalizing millions of pre-babies in one foul swoop.
Ahh Yes But!
Yes nothing, we are all guilty at some time in our lives and trying to say that abortion is the murder of an unborn child at a different stage in it's life cycle. It is hypocrisy if you say that Sperm are not living organisms that are the forerunner of human life.
So what can be done?
First, it should be noted that destroying an unborn baby after a certain period should be punished by law [not religion or religious laws] and that period should not be classed upon the latest date [26 weeks] but should be arranged only at the time when pregnancy is first detected, this should be [at the latest] about 8 weeks.
A few days should be used in assisting the mother to realize other possibilities [adoption and etc] and then the abortion should proceed if requested.
Medical abortions in respect to saving the life of the mother and stopping the birth of Downs syndrome should also be arranged at the earliest opportunity. There is nothing that should stand in the way of the mothers life. If she should want to save the child's life at the expense of her own, then this would be a crime in itself with the mother committing suicide.
There are many rights and wrongs that can be shown on both sides of the coin in respect to abortion. Natives of the Torres Strait called abortion Marramatta, technically they buried the child as soon as it was born and this was usually done to unwanted female babies at birth. Their reasoning was because boy children could work and hunt to feed the family in hard times. This tradition is still to be seen in India today where girl children are an almost unwanted commodity
To each his own
As for myself, I am against abortion unless it is a proven medical necessity but my reasons are simply this, there are many ways in which you can dispose of a child without taking it's life. There is no reason for a woman to say that getting pregnant was an accident because accidents don't just happen, they are made.
On the other hand, I have no right to get on a religious bandwagon led by a loud mouthed preacher and run around killing people in the name of any unborn child. It is the right of the mother to do what she wants to do about a pregnancy as long as it is within the law. For some idiot to blow up an abortion clinic is doing what he [or rather it] claims that the doctors are doing but he [or rather it] is murdering grown adults.
The Lords Prayer
Something that has not gone down well with me is those little devastating accidents that happen during life. Like when I ran over one of my pet cats. I was rather upset for quite some time and pangs of guilt sometimes haunted me. I can only commiserate with young men and women [girls] that have to lose an unborn for it will be on their mind forever. If there is a God then I suggest those who have aborted, start practicing just what you are going to say in your defense when you are standing before him.
Amen
