Run on Gun Shops

It amazes me that people are running to gun shops and buying up guns because they think President-Elect Obama will rewrite the Constitution and do away with the Second Amendment. Like every other vicious lie that was spread about him over the airwaves and Internet, no one bothered to hear him say that he believes in the Second Amendment but wants to get the assault weapons off the street. After all, what does a homeowner need with an AK-47? Surely, you wouldn't shoot a defenseless deer with it. Law Enforcement is already outmanned by such weapons on the street. How many times do we read where an assault weapon was used in a home invasion or robbery?

Just last month, an eight-year-old child was killed with a Uzi at a gun show Why in the world was a child allowed to fire a loaded weapon of any kind, much less an assault weapon, at a gun show? So, please, don’t go out and stock your homes with arsenals and your hearts with hate. Don’t create problems where there aren’t any. This nation needs to pull together, and I am grateful that we have elected someone who does not make “knee-jerk” decisions and someone who will work hard and long to mend the torn fabric of this nation We just need to pray for him and know that God is in control.
