some perspective-
In the past few years democrats have been pushing for gun control because of horrible events like the sandy hook shooting, and the Colorado shooting. They have been saying things like, if there were less guns then there would be less gun related violence, or if its that we allow guns in our society more people will die. Now this is in part true, but its also like blaming a spoon for making people fat, or a car for car related deaths. The problem is not completely the guns fault or really even its fault at all. It is the fault of an irresponsible person making the wrong choice. So if the government wants to ban guns because people are being irresponsible with them, then even if it sounds silly or juvenile then by comparison the government should bad spoons because when someone uses them wrong it will cause them to gain weight and develop heart disease and die. Also the government has been throwing around a term called "to big to fail" well this term goes right along with my previous example. The government considers super businesses like McDonald's to big to fail, but what about gun production companies? The government seems like they do not care about all the jobs that a company like Winchester or Remington produces, and also their products are in demand. There are a few similarities between these two companies. One and the biggest similarities is that technically they both sell items that when used irresponsibly cause harm to people. They both give jobs, and they both help stimulate the economy. The main difference is that the government is actively trying to get rid of guns which in turn is making then in my opinion a hypocrite, by trying to lessen the selling of guns they are going to cause the gun companies to lay off people and less sales tax will come in because of the lessened sales.
