Approximately
97% of mass murderers are males; they invariably signal their intent to commit
violence through a variety of traits: most notably, their problems with women.
The Orlando killer, Omar Mateen, beat
his first wife and a friend quoted him as saying he “hated women because you
have to be nice to them to get sex.” Seung Sui Cho stalked and harassed women
at Virginia Tech before he went on his rampage; Peter Odighizwa, the killer at
the Appalachian School of Law, was also a wife beater and at one point took
control of a class, ranting about the evils of women; and Isla Vista, California
murder Elliot Roger, threw things at women who did not pay attention to him and
lamented he was still a virgin and had never even kissed a girl.
How many more examples of threatening
traits are needed before we take action to keep guns out of the hands of these
monsters?
How about starting with laws prohibiting
men who stalk, harass, or beat women from owning any gun at all. And let’s not
stop there. Any man who drags an unconscious woman behind a dumpster and rapes
her, is an out-of-control low-life who should never be allowed to own a weapon.
Does it ever occur to these sick men
that these are mothers, daughters, wives, and aunts: the women we love.
Gentlemen you can do something about
these shootings. Your manhood is not measured by the size of your gun; it is
measured by the size of your backbone and your willingness to speak up.
If you want to be a man, don’t buy a
gun, speak up and demand laws to put an end to this violence.
