The Guns Doggerel Story

Stories and News No. 1029 Following the tragic events in Las Vegas, when the United States comes back to discuss the right to guns, I read that also in Italy fatal dead from accidental bullets are coming on the news . Though with a lot of difficulty, I try to put myself in the footsteps of such insane principle’s supporters. Obviously, with a story, playing with words, which could sometimes hurt, but rarely kill… Let's imagine I had a gun and I thought it was a sacrosanct right to have it. So I ’d have it. However, I 'd not be going to have it just for that, huh? It’s rhetorical. I ’d have a gun because I ’d love to have it. I 'd love to have it because I ’d know. I ’d known that if I wanted, wherever I could, I would use it. Accordingly, just for this page, I have a gun, and I know it can hurt. I can hurt even without it, if you know what I mean. And it could without me. How can we treat that? What should we do in case he had a gun and I didn’t? ...

Moral stories: Legitimate defense

Stories and News No. 989 From July 1 in Georgia , US, it seems that students will be able to enter the Campus with guns, as long as they hide them. At the same time, in Italy, politicians are debating these days about possible amendments to the norm that legitimizes defense . By synthesizing, the most important clash is between who want to extend the right to shoot at any alleged aggressor in conditions of justified fear or night, and who instead desire to further facilitate the firing against their nightmares up to the absolute freedom, typical wish of the screaming right-wing hordes. Once again what we do not see, or must not see, dictate the route, see producers and sellers of weapons, the real directors and authors of this farce called security. Maybe we should really start defending us... Once upon a time there was the legitimate defense . A sacred law, where danger requires it. In the form of a comprehensible reaction. Proportional to the offense . But what if the...

Anti gun stories: San Bernardino legal weapons in the land of freedom

Stories and News No. 822 I read just now that each of the four weapons used by those responsible for the massacre in San Bernardino, California, including rifles capable of penetrating a bulletproof vest, were regularly purchased... Once upon a time there was the land of freedom. Much was free. A lot was not. Inevitable, because one would not make sense without the other. It was free to buy weapons. Also asking why a country that considered itself to be civil, peaceful and democratic allows the purchase of weapons, but that was unpopular. In necessarily dark and trembling times. In necessarily dark and trembling times it was obviously free to sell weapons. Near home, preferably away from the latter. Where the echo of gunfire and the screams of the injured is as weak as a blurb on the fourth page on yet another massacre on the opposite side of the heart. It was also free asking how does a land that defines itself civil, peaceful and democratic is enriching by selling wea...

Stories about life: the most important before

Stories and News No. 804 In the US, while his father slept in his own bed, a two years old child died after accidentally shot himself with the dad’s gun. This story is for him , for it . And especially for you ... Once upon a time there was a “before”. The first and more important one. There is always. There was, alas. Before you pulled the trigger ? Yes, maybe. Thanks to a simple thought, in the form of the memory of a precious admonition. Do not touch, do not touch it. It . Is this the most important? No, let’s try, be brave, don’t be satisfied. Before opening Dad’s drawer ? Perhaps, it could be. The above thought, but also a blessed distraction. A melody behind, a more interesting game or just getting back. Exactly what you were doing. Before . It is flawless, clear, smooth as the slide at the park. Among all, is this the most important? It does not seem, let's move on. Before entering your parents room ? That is, before you know that it is there , in the...

Moral stories: the forest of the seven

Stories and News No. 794 Killer of Christians . According to many newspapers that is becoming the main fragment of the news title to spread yet another massacre in the United States. Needless to imagine what it would have been, if somebody were able to bring up the Islam. Nevertheless the recurring theme , the lethal greatest common denominator, is always present at the crime scene and every time it comes home undisturbed. The alleged lawful possession of a weapon ... Once upon a time there was a forest. It was called the forest of the seven. Because seven men lived in the woods. Not one less, not one more. In the forest where seven men lived, not one less, not one more, running was the only activity. There was no other hobby. There were no soccer, rugby and basket balls. Even no tennis racquets, which might have been useless. Because there were no balls to hit. The only things they used to throw out were themselves, at various speeds, but there was none able to defin...
