GUNS AND/OR EDUCATION...THE CIVILIZED

 ic

Public
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 Worldworldtop20.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
