Both Democrats and Republicans blame everything and everybody under the sun for gun violence, except for blaming semi-automatic hand guns and semi-automatic rifles.
Media pundits cry out for new improved gun laws and more funding for mental health.
This is not a mental health problem.
This is not a, Let's improve our ability to predict who will grab a gun and start shooting people with it problem.
This is not a "tone down the rhetoric" problem, or a "both sides" problem.
This is a widespread gun availability problem.
This is a US gun manufacturer problem of gunmakers flooding our streets with over four million guns annually.
This is a bi-partisan lobbying problem of US gunmakers buying Congress to make sure Congress doesn't ban semi-automatic hand guns and semi-automatic rifles.
Society cannot outlaw human greed or human vitriol, but we can out law semi-automatic hand guns and semi-automatic rifles.
I'm going to compare America society to wild animals in a closed setting, like gorillas in a cage: if you give gorillas semi-automatic hand guns, gorillas will shoot and kill other gorillas without regard to life.
If you do not give gorillas semi-automatic hand guns, gorillas will not be able to kill at will in an instant.
FBI gun murder statistics prove if you give Americans semi-automatic hand guns and rifles, Americans will kill other Americans in an instant, without regard to life.
Conversely, if you do not give Americans semi-automatic hand guns, Americans will not be able to kill 35 people in less than 60 seconds.
Gun advocates and the NRA claim if society outlaws guns, then only outlaws will have guns.
Gun advocates also say the only solution to a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
Other nations and governments who have banned guns found great success in strong gun confiscation laws and gun buyback programs.
Other nations and governments who have outlawed guns enjoy living a full life absolutely free of all gun violence, school shootings, armed robberies, mass murder.
Other nations, governments and peoples who have banned guns enjoy walking out their doors without fear of themselves or their children being shot at work, home or at play.
Americans live under a constant real threat of random and targeted gun violence in every city in America - some worse than others.
UNDERSTANDING REPUBLICANS AND GUNS
Why are Republicans so in love with guns?
Is it because Republicans want to protect their families?
Heck everybody wants to protect their families.
But does a family absolutely need lethal force that kills a person in an instant?
Absolutely not. Instead of spending $35 billion going to Mars, our federal government should fund a mission critical program to develop and institute a suitable non-lethal force device for public or private use.
But herein lies the problem with Republicans.
Sure Republican lawmakers may support fund and own such a effective non-lethal device, but Republican lawmakers will not ban semi-automatic hand guns for any reason or anybody.
Republican lawmaker hearts belong to semi-automatic Jesus, and their wallet and bank accounts belong to the NRA.
Republicans subscribe to White Supremacy, which has traditionally served as THE FOUNDATION for gun production and ownership.
The European colonists had no interest in being equal to anyone, but felt superior as armed men.
Republican lawmakers want the power to kill a man at will in their hands so they can threaten unarmed individuals with instant death. Plain and simple.
Most Republican lawmakers wouldn't threaten a man if he has a gun; consequently Republicans want each and every American to be armed and take firearm proficiency, gun safety classes in order to create a "safe society."
What could possibly go wrong?
According to Republicans you just have to have faith - faith that some armed jackass doesn't blow your brains out in less than two seconds with their semi-automatic hand gun stashed in their jacket while you're out to get toilet paper.
America is a heavily-armed, fucking dangerous place.

Top Ten Excuses Against Banning Semi-automatic Weapons
The NRA and Republicans will tell you that there is a safe way to own and operate a gun and the problem is WHO gets a gun and who doesn't get a gun.
In the uber-violent world of conservative fantasy, the more guns the better; the more guns the more safer we are.
That's why Republicans and Democrats protect gun manufacturers who flood our hometowns and streets with over four million guns annually.
Voters could decide to ban all semi-automatic hand guns and rifles and offer a trade-in deal for a new non-lethal device in exchange for your old gun.
Guess what? It's a gun problem.
Who could have guessed that nationwide gun violence and gun murder was a gun problem?
CNN, MSNBC, FOXNEWS doesn't think it's a gun problem. They're quite certain it's a everything under the sun but guns problem.
Democrats, Republicans and the NRA don't think we have a semi-automatic hand gun problem, even though nearly two-thirds of all nationwide gun crime and murder are done with a semi-automatic hand gun.
But according to Democrats and Republicans, it's not a semi-automatic hand gun problem; that's why Democrats and Republicans OPPOSE a semi-automatic hand gun ban.
We live in the Violent States of America where American gunmakers flood our streets with over four million new guns every 12 months.
What could possibly go wrong? What does go wrong? You name it.
Do you have to be a firearms expert to understand America's gun violence problem?
What qualifications does a person need to understand America's gun violence problem?
The only qualification a voter needs to understand America's gun violence problem is to have a strong desire to live in peace without fear of instant murder or injury when you go to the store, go to work, or take your kids to the park.
The need to understand that life in America can be what We The People want it to be, instead of what special interest groups and corporations want it to be.
UNDERSTANDING DEMOCRATS AND GUNS
Why haven't Democrats already banned semi-automatic hand guns?
There's no good excuse for Democrats not already banning semi-automatic hand guns.
A majority of voters support a full ban on all semi-automatic rifles, but Democrats did not reinstate a full ban on semi-automatic rifles.
Instead of banning semi-automatic hand guns and rifles, Democrats prefer to encroach and violate your U.S. Const. rights under the guise of "protecting America."
Democrats always want to increase citizen survelliance for the purpose of "detecting armed shooters" and "public safety" - instead of banning the damn guns.
One of the strangest gun facts is, there are some school shooting and mass shooting survivors who OPPOSE a ban on semi-automatic hand guns.
America is a heavily-armed, dangerous place.
