Pink Pistols

I was doing some research for my scholarship essay on gun control and i kept reading about the pink pistols being part of the charge against gun control laws. the subject of women protecting themselves is one of gun advocate's central arguments, so naturally i linked the pink pistols with the gun girls. but then i clicked the link on wiki and wow. i mean. i guess i never thought of how hard it must be for gay people in other parts of the country. not even just gay people. minorities too. i wonder how hard it must be to be constantly in fear of skinheads looking for a good time. of course, i dont think about it too much because i'm a catholic and, according to jack chick, catholics started the kkk, the mafia, wwII, the masons, and most of the asian religions.

then i read about how the gun lobbyists say that countries with no gun control laws like canada and switzerland have some of the lowest crime rates in the world. but then gun control activists say that countries with heavy gun restrictions like japan and the uk have very low crime rates as well. that's sad. it means that, no matter what laws we pass, americans are inherently evil and will find a way to kill and hurt other people.

i hate to say it, but i think it might be the diversity. other countries are surrounded by their own kind, and other people who drop by are just pleasant foreigners. in america, everybody is so concerned that they're getting the short end of the stick that they fight and bicker and generally just try to destroy eachother. i think other countries are ready for this kind of diversity, maybe. we're not really handling it quite well. maybe if we tried again in a time where we aren't the richest country in the world. then nobody would worry about being poorer or less well off.

its just really sad that we have all this responsibility, but we dont act like it. i guess i'm okay with being evil. but i kinda wish i wasnt.
