I was against his execution for one reason and one reason only. For a very, very small minority in this country, he has now become a martyr. There will be people who hold this man in esteem. Why? I don't know? Tragic actually. He was mad at his government. A lot of us are from time to time. That's why you vote. To kick the bums out. You don't go bombing innocent people. People that were only doing their jobs and not harming anyone. I felt he needed to be locked up and FORGOTTEN for the rest of his life. No visiters, no friends, no fresh air, no sun, no wind, no books, no newspapers. No nothing! Just four
white walls and some plumbing fixtures. Then just let everyone forget him. This was what he wanted. He won. Nothing was gained.

Has far as voilence goes. Yes we have a lot of violence. We bring part of this on ourselves. Drugs are a major factor in violence in this country. One could say if we could just get rid of the drugs, we could get rid of the crime.
Hmmm... Guns... drugs... crazy people... alcohol... cars... baseball bats... steak knives... concrete blocks (we had a woman murdered in our city this weekend with a concrete block. Second one in one week with a concrete block.)
I don't know where to start. Do we get rid of everything? There are far more innocent people that own firearms in this country than there are that use them
in the commission of a crime. Why punish law abiding citizens.

As far as the NRA goes. I have been a member for ten or so years and I never seen an ad in their magazine where you could by a firearm unassembled. I have seen parts kits lacking a very important item that you must go to a firearms dealer to purchase. But never a complete un-assembled firearm. I also know that a thirteen year old CANNOT LEGALLY purchase a firearm in this country anywhere, period. The NRA does one thing, like every other group out there, such as the AARP or ASPCA, etc..., they fight for the things their members believe in.

But as far has McVeigh, forget him, and remember the victims. They are the ones we should be discussing today! Not some nut!

OP-ED over! You all have a good day!
