Grim Realization

I’m a believer in the right to bare arms to a certain degree, and I understand why so many Americans want to defend that right. However, isn’t it just plain common sense to prevent guys like Cho, with a mental record and several police disturbances, from getting weapons so easily?

I mean come on, if we believe that guns don’t kill people, people kill people, then protecting the rights of gun owners is dependent on keeping people who kill people from getting guns.

You’ve seen him, I’m sure, but take a look again. Look into his eyes. Should this guy be allowed to own a gun? Should he be allowed to buy so many bullets so easily? Should he have been allowed to purchase multiple guns?

About Joshua Johnson

For 8 years, Soapblox.com has functioned as the political blog for up and coming writer, Joshua Johnson. While he writes many different styles of writing ranging from science fiction to social commentary, his true love lies in politics and history. With a degree in History from CSUN, his love of history shines through in his perspective. Josh’s articles are focused heavily on telling the truth and cutting through the subjective and relative nature that is prevailing these days. Hailing from the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, Josh has had a decidedly middle-class upbringing, which has translated into a deeply rooted love of the Progressive movement of the early 20th Century. A self-described “progressive” Josh’s political views are quite mixed though lean left of center.
