For the Love of Guns; America's Love Affair with Assault Weapons

Everyone and their brother is writing about what happened to those poor babies and brave adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut.  The mere thought of reliving the entire ordeal in a blog makes me literally want to cry. 
  
I am saddened for each and every family who was affected  and I am saddened for America in general.  What kind of world do we live in when people have to debate whether or not to ban assault weapons for anyone other than military or police? I mean think about it.  What would the average person really need them for? Are they planning to shoot up 50 dear at a time as one person said to me? 
 
What is America’s fascination with guns anyway?  Why do so many people feel they need to  have them? The average person who owns a gun for personal use never has to use them for self-defense. More times than not they either collect dust in the house or end up hurting the wrong person.  
 
Do we need to take a deeper look at the Americans who  love guns mindset? Could it be there real issue here is power? Do we feel son  disempowered in our everyday lives that we need to , yearn to, seek to find a
  way to feel like we are on top some way, somehow? Does having a gun give people   an adrenalin rush? All the while people are making millions of dollars off of citizen’s love of guns! Is this a price people want to keep paying for lives?  Do lives have dollar signs attached to them? 
  
I know people go to the shooting range regularly for fun.  They feel on top of the  world when they shoot a target. They say it’s good clean fun! But how can good clean fun be something that could ultimately take people’s lives? 
  
I found it interesting that the NRA deactivated their facebook & twitter accounts after this most recent gun spree at the elementary school. If people have such good reasoning for having these weapons, why hide behind your deactivated computer screens? 
 
Fortunately for me, I don’t want gun in my house! I have no desire to have a gun in my house. I go by the rule of thumb that guns don’t kill people, it’s the people behind them that do. I don’t want to be one of those people. I’m not interested in being that  person whose gun gets found accidentally by a child or is accessible to someone  else who could be in a fit of rage. 
 
So for all of you gun lovers, I hope this terrible mass killing makes you think about your actual reasons for having a gun and the statistics of people who have had to use them for intruders vs the ones who ended up hurting themselves, relatives or helpless individuals.  
  
And to the people of Newtown, CT may God give you comfort  as you mourn your angels.
