There is no gravity in the United States

Amazement, is all one can think when a whole nation pretends there is nothing we can do about the gun insanity in this country.  No other modern country in the world has the carnage we do.  There are endless things that can be done.  However, the Republicans, Fox News, and the NRA have captured the minds of our most paranoid, and uneducated citizens.  The notion that someone is coming to get my gun is such insane nonsense, but it works.

One simple way you could control guns is treat them like cars.  You have to license them, register them, take a test to drive them, and have liability insurance on them. Pretty simple right.  We don't want people killing us with cars.  If you get drunk and drive a car you don't get to drive anymore.  You can get drunk and shoot a gun, no problem.

This is an age of technology, and it is an age where stores have RFD devices in clothing. If you try to steal a nice coat from a store an alarm will go off when you walk out the door.  How does this work? Attached to the coat is a small chip with called and RFD. RFD stands for radio frequency device.  When the device is exposed to microwave energy it becomes energized and gives off a radio signal. No battery is needed. The signal identifies the device and sets off an alarm.  Some police departments, and the military already have these devices implanted in their guns.  This means the police can go into their gun safe and instantly identify and inventory all the guns in there.  If every gun was required to have an RFD the gun would set off an alarm at a school, a bank, a church or a rock concert.  But we are  a nation of dolts, simple minded people easily manipulated and scared.

So no one is going to do anything or even give a shit until their son, daughter, wife, or dog gets shot by a gun nut.   No other country is so driven by ignorance supplied free by the Republicans, Fox News, and the NRA.   Our neighbors daughter was at the most recent shooting.  She was badly shaken up.  What if she had been shot?  Would the people in Hazen think any differently about  the gun nuts.   Every gun nut wants to say the gun is not the problem.  How in the face of numbers can they be that stupid.  People don't get mowed down in Canada, England, and dozens of other countries that control guns.  When those children were shot at Sandyhook so many people thought now we will get the fog of ignorance lifted. It did not happen.
