The Kill-Crazed

I believe most Americans are appalled at the wanton gun violence in America today. Surely the murder of young children is revolting to almost everyone and begs for some action. But what can we DO about it? I mean REALLY - really. Republicans want to arm themselves more, while democrats use these events to jerk-off to gun control fantasies that either cannot pass as law or will be struck down by the courts. I’d like to propose a real, actionable solution. We would announce this plan in every high school in America, propagate the offer in every morning announcement until further notice: Any young man (or woman, let's not be sexist here) who, in their heart of hearts feels sufficiently motivated (kill-crazed) would immediately be sent to Ukraine where they could kill real Russians to their heart’s content. They would only be trained if they wanted it, only be part of an organized unit if they desired it, they would be armed, on arrival, or they could bring their own initial arsenal if they have it at hand. Once they achieved 200 certified Russian kills (this number is negotiable) they would be declared heroes and could either continue their good work or receive some sort of scholarship or cash. This is just one, practical idea - you, my reader, are free to propose others. This is not a joke, not sarcasm, irony or parody - let’s actually DO something, shall we?

Heya Anais, I’m afraid this one has been tried before, when all our western psychos went over to join the Isis caliphate, they even killed western journalists and charity volunteers, in every depraved fashion known to man, crucifixions etc, in the end the US just had to bomb them all to death, but hey it saves on prison expenses, and was great target practice for the airforce, cheers David

The BBC news reported a Russian mother went to the Ukraine to reclaim her under-age, ragged, starving sons conscripted by Putin to fight in the Ukraine. Consider controlling gunpowder, e.g., gunpower/ammunition can only be purchased in person with valid Gold Star ID with the transaction immediately reported to FBI and police, so if someone from Atlanta buys ammo in Macon, both Macon and Atlanta police are informed. Keep speaking out! Aloha!

There’s an old Chris Rock comedy sketch where he proposes taxing ammunition so that it’s too expensive to buy.
