the grain elevator is left to equipment storage and rodents, and the restaurants downtown have been replaced by McDonalds, Wendys, Taco Bell and Subway, all lined up on the main highway.\u00a0 Oh, and there\u2019s a new \u201ccoffee house\u201d trying to make it \u201cdowntown.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And while rural Pataskala went away many years ago, there still remains the political views of folks who actually knew the difference between a John Deere and a Massey-Ferguson (for my \u201ccity\u201d friends, those are two brands of tractors, like Chevy and Ford.)\u00a0 The NRA (National Rifle Association) doesn\u2019t publish statistics by community, but I\u2019d bet Pataskala has a large group of card-carrying members.\u00a0 Our friends and neighbors enjoy hunting and shooting, and don\u2019t have far to go to get to the nearest gun shop (downtown) or shooting range (up the street.)<\/p>\n<p>So I live in \u201cgun country.\u201d\u00a0 And while I am often uncomfortable with the truly \u201copen carry\u201d guys with pistols on their hips, I don\u2019t criticize their desire to go have \u201csome fun\u201d shooting.\u00a0 They are responsible, and they are more aware than most about the dangers their guns represent.<\/p>\n<p>I also believe in the Second Amendment.\u00a0 That will surprise many, but my rationale stems from my hardcore belief in the First, Fourth, Fifth and Eighth Amendments (and the others.)\u00a0 How can I demand respect for those, when I discount and disdain the Second?\u00a0 It might be different if someday we reached a point where the Second itself was in question, but we aren\u2019t there, and you ignore it at the peril of the rest.<\/p>\n<p>I write this two days after the carnage in Las Vegas, where a man with multiple firearms was able to kill and maim hundreds at a concert.\u00a0 This wasn\u2019t Al Qaeda or Isis, it doesn\u2019t even seem to be politically inspired, a Timothy McVeigh (Oklahoma City) moment.\u00a0 No, this was truly the crazy guy with a gun.<\/p>\n<p>Or more exactly, the crazy guy on the 32<sup>nd<\/sup> floor, with twenty-three weapons, including two modified semi-automatic rifles.<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a>\u00a0 They were modified, legally, for rapid fire, so that each time the trigger was pulled the \u201ckick\u201d of the bullet leaving the gun would trigger the next pull.\u00a0 This \u201cbump stock\u201d is a perfectly legal modification, even though fully automatic rifles (machine guns) have been outlawed to the public for many years.<\/p>\n<p>He also had \u201chigh capacity\u201d magazines, to reduce the number of times he would have to stop and reload.<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a>\u00a0 And he was firing bullets with an effective range of over 1000 yards, so the 500 to 600 yards to the stage with easy.\u00a0 So at least fifty-nine were killed, and hundreds injured.\u00a0 Undoubtedly some were trampled, but the crazy guy on the 32<sup>nd<\/sup> floor was able to maintain a rain of fire for over ten minutes.\u00a0 From the stories told by survivors, he was aiming at those who got up and ran.<\/p>\n<p>And, for those who say how did a guy walk through the lobby of the Mandalay Bay hotel with that many firearms, keep in mind that there is a gun show is Las Vegas every week, and all of these firearms were legal.<\/p>\n<p>So while I respect the Second Amendment, and I respect my friends and neighbors, can\u2019t we draw some conclusions from what happened?\u00a0 I know the excuses; \u201cno one can stop a madman,\u201d and \u201cit takes a human to pull the trigger,\u201d but can\u2019t we do better than this?<\/p>\n<p>Can\u2019t we say, without infringing on the Second Amendment, that folks shouldn\u2019t be able to go to the local store and buy a gun that can be converted to an automatic weapon?\u00a0 Can\u2019t we say that other than \u201cit\u2019s fun to do,\u201d we don\u2019t really have a use for high capacity magazines?\u00a0 Can\u2019t we look at what kind of bullets are being sold, and say that ones that resemble what the Army fires from their rifles shouldn\u2019t be for public use?\u00a0 Can\u2019t we do these things, without threatening the deer hunter, and the target shooter, or the gun collector?<\/p>\n<p>And can\u2019t we say that a gun, like a car, should require licensing?\u00a0 While my car can be a lethal weapon, that isn\u2019t what it was designed for, and we still regulate every aspect of it. I can&#8217;t drive a race car on the streets. \u00a0We control who can, and who can\u2019t drive.\u00a0 Why can\u2019t we do that for guns, assuming that we respect that it remains a Constitutional right?<\/p>\n<p>Just raising these questions is a dangerous business.\u00a0 In politics (at least in Ohio) stating what seems to be obvious will lose the state in a heartbeat.\u00a0 But, unless you need assault weapons for when the \u201cblack helicopters\u201d come to take away your freedom, is there any other use for these weapons of war? (And I need to point out, the \u201cblack helicopter\u201d people are going be so outgunned if that really happens, they don\u2019t stand a chance.)<\/p>\n<p>I know it must be fun to fire a machine gun.\u00a0 But is my ability to \u201chave fun\u201d enough to keep these weapons out there?\u00a0 And for those who say: \u201cit\u2019s too late, there\u2019s too many;\u201d you have to begin.\u00a0 Maybe not today, or tomorrow, or next year, but ten or twenty years from now we would have a safer country. It worked in Australia.<a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a> Crazy guys on the 32<sup>nd<\/sup> floor could still get pistols, and knives, and axes.\u00a0 And all of that is a hell of a lot better than what they can get now.<\/p>\n<p><em>Listening to Tom Petty as I write.\u00a0 His words are a part of many great memories in my life.\u00a0 RIP<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2017\/10\/03\/las-vegas-massacre-shooter-stephen-paddock-hotel-room-bullets-guns\">http:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2017\/10\/03\/las-vegas-massacre-shooter-stephen-paddock-hotel-room-bullets-guns<\/a>\/<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref2\" name=\"_ftn2\">[2]<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/checkpoint\/wp\/2017\/10\/02\/video-from-las-vegas-suggests-automatic-gunfire-heres-what-makes-machine-guns-different\/?utm_term=.0e9ab6f867e4\">https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/checkpoint\/wp\/2017\/10\/02\/video-from-las-vegas-suggests-automatic-gunfire-heres-what-makes-machine-guns-different\/?utm_term=.0e9ab6f867e4<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref3\" name=\"_ftn3\">[3]<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/international\/archive\/2017\/10\/australia-gun-control\/541710\/\">https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/international\/archive\/2017\/10\/australia-gun-control\/541710\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guns and Sadness I live in Pataskala.\u00a0 It\u2019s twenty miles east of Columbus, Ohio, and when I moved here forty years ago it was a little farming community, with a grain elevator and two small restaurants \u201cdowntown.\u201d\u00a0 Today, it\u2019s a suburb; the grain elevator is left to equipment storage and rodents, and the restaurants downtown &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/dahlman.online\/index.php\/2017\/10\/03\/guns-and-sadness\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Guns and Sadness&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
