Peace/Blessings,
One of my mentors used to periodically say, "Everything is the way it should be..."
I was listening to a show on SiriusXM’s Urban View and the host, Joe Madison, quoted a statistic that the population in the US represents 4% of the World population, yet owns 46% of the firearms…
I feel I need to do a PSA at this point….
Guns are tools…When used responsibly, are beneficial to self, family, and community…
Here are some other statistics that I looked up…
-I confirmed Mr. Madison’s assertion through the Council of Foreign Relations – crf.org & worldometers.info
-US represents 44% of Global Suicides by firearms & the only Nation on the Earth where gun ownership outnumbers our population – cnn.com
EDUCATION
As of June 2022, the United States ranks 29 in education of the top 203 countries in the World – worldtop20.org
We as Americans tout ourselves as the most Civilized nation on the Earth…
One definition for Civil is “Adequate in courtesy and politeness” …
In the book, the ISIS Papers, by Dr. Francis Cress Welsing, one of her chapters (essays) addresses guns from a subconscious level. Within this essay, she points out that guns were called ‘Equalizers’…The follow up question would be equalizer for what?...Something that is missing in one’s life…Also, she gives a description of a gun, as it relates to it’s design…When examining a handgun, the loop where one pulls the trigger, resembles a man’s testicle sack…The shaft represents a man’s penis…The firing of the gun, as the bullets are dislodged, represents the ejaculation during a sexual experience…One could postulate that guns, on one level, represent that which one lacks in their lives…This country is a very sexualized one where respect is given to one’s (a man’s) sexual prowess…To be lacking, is not acceptable…Thus, the Equalizer…Power…
Does anyone want to take a guess on which group owns the most guns?
To conclude…We rank 29th in the World in Education and 1st in the World in Gun ownership and usage…The Greatness of a Nation is not based upon the potential to commit violence, it is based upon the level of education of their people…
Everything is the way it should be…Hotep
