Level Of Difficulty at Work: 0.4 out of 10
Time During Lunch: Med
Senator Don Peralta, an anti-gun nut (who applied in 1999 for a carry conceal weapons permit. But no longer because of political pressure.) is hosting a gun buyback program due to a 10-year old shot while at piano class. $250, no questions asked, give up the gun and you get the cash.
I saw him being interviewed before i went to work on chan 2 news. He says it himself 'i doubt many criminals will be going to this, but if we get one gun off the street, it's one less gun, one less chance, one less dead, less crime etc.' so whos gonna go?
Hypothetically lets say theres 50 stolen/illegal guns out n about and theres 500 legally owned weapons. Thats 10 legally owned guns to every 1 illegal. If 100 legal guns are given up and disposed, 'cuz the senator says, 'i doubt many criminals will come,' then theres 400 legally owned guns. That reduces peoples defensive stance from 10:1 to 8:1. Hows that a less chance of crime? i don't get it. Cops are fine and dandy to come protect you in times of need. But response times are at least a few minutes. A whole lot can happen in a few minutes.
Life nowadays isn't take my wallet, it's cool. People have been killed on a whim, because someone looked at them funny, because your from the fillmore and not from potrero hill, because of gas money.
i'm all for guns, but i'm not for felons, crazies, unstable people in possession of them. Gun control would be nice if it started from the beginning, but gun control now will never work will so much crap out there. I'm for defense and protection but the line between defense and provocation is quite thin. Theres just too much hate out there, too much resentment, long-term grudges. The solution to the problem is a complex multidiscipline one.
I'm not giving my gun for 250$ thats way too little to what i paid.
Oh i've got 2 stories about how crime pays. i'll put them up soon.
