Bob’s Perspective: “Should We Have Concealed Weapons or Not?”

| January 1, 2013

Life today is like a box of chocolates everyone; you never know what you’re going to get. Yes, people of many places and especially the city of Chicago seem to be going back in the time machine in the wild, Wild West days of our lives where we will be carrying and drawing guns from our holsters to protect ourselves. Let’s hope not.  Does this mean that people will be taking the law into their own hands?  It’s possible.  Will Illinois pass legislation and approve this bill for everyone over twenty-one to carry a concealed weapon to protect themselves?

Come on people, what is the answer to this madness all around us where we have to bear arms and walk around with concealed weapons or should I say put a strict ban on arms control so that adults and children will not suffer the circumstances by being shot to death.  Believe me, if you get angry about all of this, rage is a perfectly understandable response to this concealed weapons idea.  If you really want to make a difference, don’t support a bill to be passed that the NRA favors to make a profit on.

Stand up taxpayers for what is right and send a message or letter and command the attention of our state representative and governor. Let them know  they must respond more spontaneously to this issue or all of us will suffer the consequences if this bill is passed.  Please let us not forget the past that will always haunt us forever in the violet killings in Columbine, Virginia Tech, the Dark Night theatre killings and most recently the Newtown, Connecticut tragedy. 26 innocents being murdered in cold blood which was terrifying and not real to the imagination; something that will always put fear and panic in those who survived this tragedy all the days of their lives.

Yes, these children had their lives taken away from them in the second deadliest killing that clarifies a problem in the system that the lawmakers need to change. Before it’s too late everyone, let’s push to put a ban on assault rifles and hand guns in the wrong hands. Let’s stop the violence that has killed again adults and children who had their lives ahead of them.

If you want to protect us all, put the rifles and guns in the hands that serve and protect us in our communities. Support the men and women who bear arms protecting our freedom for duty, honor, and country in our military.
