How Far Can the Greatest Country Go With Its Current 6Caliber Governance?

It sure can’t be far too long than the innocently shortened lives.

From out here, it looks like the greatest country in the world. The culture! The technology! It all looks perfect.

But it is almost the most confusing. Not directly so, but like “A doctor with a bucket full of antidote, and a drum full of poison.”

He advocates the antidote first and then returns with a poison.

Now I understand the fears my dear green white green has for unwavering thoughts about freedom to arms and drugs.

Not to lambast, but this is a bad reputation for the greatest country in the world or now assumed unsafe country in the world.

Bad Reputations Can Be Renewed

I won’t be surprised if this happens.

Since my birth and many years before me, the bad reputations of Africa have been kept permanent.

Not just that! It has been renewed every single time. It’s always an image of kids suffering or adults swimming in swamps.

Now it’s a trend in the world and even amongst us Africans. We know that not all inhabitants, but most people living in the greatest country, feel that Africa is a wormhole.

Guess who might have the same reputation now?… You guessed right! The greatest!

The initial actions might not be intentional, but now even high school students in Africa are aware that being black in the greatest country might not be as easy as it is in every other part of the world.

They know that you either live in Hollywood or keep an eye on your back when you walk in the streets because anyone could draw a 6 caliber and start shooting sporadically.

Madness or Brilliancy

Don’t mind the words. They have little to no aggression tone, but they are intentional.

Why would you legalize guns? F-ing guns!

But come to think of it, it would have done its right course at some point, which is to save people who are really in need of it.

There are a million videos on YouTube to prove this fact. Lots of people have been saved by the possession of a personal firearm.

  • In stores where young thieves have come to steal but suddenly become unsuccessful.
  • In homes where burglars have come to steal belongings but quickly aborted their attempts.

The negatively-positive machine advocate(gun) has done its bit in saving lives. But guess what it did in the same situation?… Again you thought right. It has also taken lives.

Mostly, now in this unimaginable shooting at the Robb Elementary School in Texas.

Immediately after I saw the faces of the 21 victims on the Texastribune news, I got an instant cringe at how awful the family of those victims will feel. The shivering thoughts, the constant nightmare, PTSD, to say the least, that the family will experience.

Without a doubt, the legalization of the 6 calibers (Guns in general) is total madness, but we would also say it’s a total brilliance if it affected us positively.

How Far Can the Greatest Country Go

If this was a save me-I’m drowning contest like the scenario of some countries, America will win out rightly and stand the test of time.

It has helped so many countries with its possession of armory and frightening firepower.

But as for this case of the outrage and the usage of its legalized guns and drugs. The country will only go as far as the lives of its victim.

Yes, you read right! The black lives matter movement is only the tip of the iceberg to what is looming around the corner if this scenario continues. The greatest country might be on its knees and in need of help from even its subordinates.

Lastly

No country is perfect. Even at this moment, the United States is not the top and most preferable country in the world. But this particular challenge it is harboring is way too dangerous. It is like a beautiful-looking pumpkin souring from the inside.

Thank you so much for reading my article today. My gratitude towards you knows no bound. I would be publishing another article very soon.
