In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy, I've read all the God and gun debates plastered all over the internet the past 24 hours. There is a large number of people saying if God (and they really mean religion) was allowed in schools this wouldn't happen. Belief in God wouldn't have prevented this. Do you realize there have been at least 14 Popes murdered for defending their faith? There have also been 6 Popes not martyred and 12 others allegedly murdered. Religious beliefs are irrelevant to murder. Gun control isn't a solution to this problem. Remove all the guns and there will still be murder. Jim Jones did it with cyanide, Timothy McVeigh killed with racing fuel, fertilizer and household chemicals. Open carry, concealed carry or any other version of arming every average citizen, isn't a solution either. Do you really want a school or theater or a mall full of hundreds of people carrying guns? There's just too much room for human error. Politics and religion make their points with misinformation and fear. When well educated people will eagerly follow, like and share any meme posted on social media websites, it becomes clear that the problem with this country is stupidity and it can't be fixed with politics or religion.
