Denver and the Role of Guns

In general, the role of guns and arms is to kill.

Guns are not meant to misfire, but to shoot a bullet in the right direction and pierce human being’s flesh to take their life away.

Arms are meant to leave trails of blood that will mix with the tears of those who ask themselves why; those who will never forget.

Guns are aimed to shatter dreams and lives, to create horror and inspire hatred. Guns also kill in a democratic way: without differentiating between women, children, sick people or anyone else.

In Aurora, Colorado, guns have once again fulfilled their mission with great success. Twelve people died, and about fifty were injured, including many children. The youngest one was only three months old. The killer himself was only 24-years-old and will probably be sentenced to death. Perhaps he will even be tortured and humiliated by the same people who are in favor of using arms and guns.

If you ask them, those people will defend the right to bear arms indiscriminately everywhere and always. It is the case in Colorado too. These same people will be against abortion because there is a “right to life.” They are the same people who share those ideas and to whom I always ask this question that remains unanswered: “What life is worth more than another?”

According to these enlightened thinkers, we cannot let someone abort (even if the mother is in danger, was raped or the child will be born with incurable diseases). But you can and must deny medical assistance to these same children and those born with diseases for which abortion was recommended. It is better for children to be born, even with diseases. Then they will die because they could not be helped. These enlightened thinkers assert that the death penalty is necessary, even if it has failed—as shown by data—to stop crime, not to mention the many mistakes made in condemning innocents. These enlightened thinkers defend with no ifs, ands or buts the right to bear arms and to defend oneself without even being judged for it.

Therefore, the right to a life worth defending is only applicable to those who are not born yet. It is worth defending those who do not have eyes, faces, dreams, joys and hopes. It is worth defending those who do not have flesh that will be ripped and bones that will break. All the rest was worth throwing away in one night, in a cinema where a boy was chewing popcorn while holding hands with a girl he liked a lot. He liked her a lot.
