Rick Perry Says: Have Gun - Use It

In Texas, unless a mentally ill person has plenty of money and/or is fortunate enough to have health insurance with decent mental health benefits, the Governor appears to have the belief that execution is as good an option as providing care. Evidence of this is his refusal to stay the execution several mentally ill inmates on death row. Now he adds the licensed hand gun owner to the mix when he says, "It makes sense for Texans to be able to protect themselves from deranged individuals," Perry’s attitude is the state really has no responsibility to care for the mentally ill. Just let them roam free until they commit a horrible crime and then either execute them or if the state gets lucky some Rambo gun owner will save the state the trouble. Perry believes that guns should be allowed in stores, churches, shopping malls, universities, schools, bars, nightclubs, strip joints and pretty much anywhere. I’m confident that law enforcement official believes otherwise, the more guns on the street the more likely people will use them to kill their fellow man. It’s just a really easy way to deal with any situation. Accidental deaths will skyrocket. I can see it now on a Friday night under a full moon the emergency room at hospitals will be flooded with many more gunshot victims. This type of reasoning is truly barbaric. It smacks of heartless, inhumane, and sadistic reasoning. What happen to the age of enlightenment found in the 20th century? Is the 21st century a return to the 19th century when the law of the gun, not the law of reason prevailed? God help us. Pray for deliverance from this madness before we get caught in the crossfire.
