To those who have lost their loved ones in the shooting, I am sorry for your losses and i hope nobody else has to go through that same pain. To those who kill for the sake of killing (or because they think that their religion requires it) you are the biggest waste of human anatomy, and you automatically forfeited your right to live the second you thought that you needed to harm anyone else.
However, every single time i see someone pull up the Orlando shooting, there's always that one person that uses this as an excuse to push their political agendas and ideals on gun control onto us. WHY?! Are you seriously telling me that by making guns harder to or impossible to get a hold of, that criminals are gonna find it harder as well?! That they're suddenly gonna stop trying to be the psychos that they are?!
I've got something to say to those that think stricter gun control laws are the way to go: NO IT'S NOT!!
There's a fine line between those that respect and abide by the law, and those that say "screw all of that", and start shooting up the town or whatever. MENTALLY.
First of all, A GUN IS AN INANIMATE OBJECT/TOOL THAT CAN'T SPEAK FOR ITSELF, THINK FOR ITSELF, OR ACT FOR ITSELF. A gun can only function and do evil work when it's in the hands of someone that wants to harm others. BUT, it can also be used as a self-defense weapon as well as a means of imtimidation for those that try and make a move onto you or your family, so long as it is in the possession of a SANE, SMART, SELF-CONTROLLED INDIVIDUAL.
By getting rid of, or making it next to impossible to defend ourselves, we are making it easier for scum to attack us. To beat us into submission. You are literally telling them "PLEASE HURT ME!" and making yourself an easy target, rather than telling them "You won't hurt/kill me or my loved ones today!". Getting rid of guns, or making them ridiculously difficult to get a hold of even a pocket pistol at least, is not gonna stop scum from getting their hands on them easily, nor slow them down. They know people. People that can import and ship them the weapons and tools that they need to get the job done.
Yes, i understand how scared you are about everything that's happening. Yes i understand you just want this all to end and for everyone to love each other. But the thing is....stuff like this is just gonna keep happening whether you want it to or not. People will hurt and kill other people because they don't value life like we do. They see everyone else as toys. Toys that they can just simply dispose of once they're done playing with them. But the one thing they don't do often, is fight those that are capable of fighting back successfully. Scum only properly flourish because they pick off the weak and oppress the others that cower before them.
And to those that think words are gonna make all the difference in the world, i am sad to say that they are NOT gonna work. Scum don't care about what you say, when you say it. Words do not phase them. You can't just stop a criminal by walking up to them and saying "LEARN TO LOVE!" and seriously expect them to stop hurting others and start helping them instead.
Let me put it this way. If you want to continue to love those that you love so much, you gotta be able to fight for them. Protect them. If you don't defend those that you love, then you won't be able to love them anymore when they are gone now will you? Would you rather lose everything you care about, and leave with the scars they caused you and not be able to hold or hug the people that you loved so much ever again? That to me is worse than at least saving some of those you loved and still be able to continue to hold and love them while remembering the ones you lost. Yes, there are certain situations where this will seem improbable, but you gotta try, and i'm not saying that it's gonna be easy. Even when you know that the person is doing the wrong thing, it will be hard to bring yourself to hurt them. But if you don't act, who will? And who's gonna be left if you don't?
Do you get what i'm trying to say? Getting rid of our self defense is like giving up your own life, and the life of those around you. Whether you like it or not...fighting back or defending you and your loved ones is the only way to solve this issue in the end. We gotta fight power with power. Only then will they think twice before they decide not to mess with us after that. Then we also gotta teach our kids to respect and love each other so that the generation after us can be better and learn from our mistakes.
So please, don't use fatal events like the Orlando shooting or any other reason to try and reduce our defenses. It's disgusting, and you know damn well that it still won't work in the end. It'll only make it easier for the scum of the planet to harm us more.
To those that took the time to read this, thank you. May we remember those that we lost in the shooting.

the World needs less idiots with guns not less guns.
