Have Gun Will Travel??

 
 There are so many things that are touchy subjects, where opinions are deep and divided. So what, it has never stopped me before, so here goes.....
 GUNS....Guns and more guns? Maybe in the Wild, Wild West? have we as people not evolved??
Let me go back a space..
 Laramie, Wagon Train, The Rifleman, Rawhide, Gunsmoke, endless hours of gun slinging cowboys, were a huge part of my growing up. My father loves a good western, so it would only be right that his first born daughter would sit next to him, night after night. I knew more about guns then any boy in my neighborhood.
Little did daddy know that I just thought the cowboys were cute, and I liked their horses.
 I have hated guns all of my life. They hurt people, and animals, the end. I know "Little Joe Cartwright" may have worn one, but surely it had no bullets!!!
I don't remember any guns in the house, but their probably was a B-B gun. Daddy always had cap pistols around, and he still collects them, I did not like them either, scared me!! My brothers probably have guns, I don't want to know. We were not a family of hunters, we were gatherers!! Daddy fought in the Korean war, he was a child, holding a weapon. No guns for me.
 I raised four boys without guns, even toy ones. No squirt guns even!! No paint guns, why point something at somebody wanting to hurt them???
They watched violent movies, and I'm sure played violent video games, with the hopes that they had some sense by then!!
AND for every bad movie they saw, we had a deal, that they would see one of my movies with me!! Musicals, comedies, foreign films!!! yes they were tortured with love!! Even my only girl, same rules apply!!

So when I see all these guns talked about, after mass destruction, I shrug my shoulders.
Is there a reason to have all these weapons?
Fear of people killing you??makes you want to buy something to kill them?

Are there lobbyists in Washington for crazy? Who are these NRA people??
I know people still hunt, its the "why" where the problem lies.
I know about the amendment for Davy Crockett to carry a gun.
But teachers in schools, cocked and loaded?? Have you ever had a crazy teacher? My high school English teacher gave us the same spelling test for an entire year! and my science teacher gave me an "A" for having nice teeth!! If they had been armed, somebody would have been shot at the pencil sharpener!!

I wish I had an answer?
I have no problem with people owning a gun, I guess?
Assault weapons? You know there are no Zombies coming!!!!
Armageddon?? I hope to hear Gene Autrey sing as I walk towards the light!!

Fear and ignorance, not a good combo!
I will hang on to hope, instead of a trigger.
