Gun Control: The Forgotten Campaign Issue of 2016
Gun Control:
The Forgotten Campaign Issue of 2016
by Brian Thomas Armstrong
by Brian Thomas Armstrong
In the first presidential debate
last Sept, it would have been a perfect platform for the candidates to
convince an American public they care about gun violence to a growingly
apathetic and increasingly numb to weekly mass shootings and random gun
violence public, by assuring them and calming their fears with a comprehensive
plan of action to reverse this deadly U.S. trend. Unfortunately, both
candidates totally failed to do so; intentionally or otherwise. Trump mentioned
an epidemic of gun violence in young African American men. How both candidates
feel that criminals should not have guns was also brought up – Well, no Du! And
also mentioned was a dash of reason in an increasingly unreasonable world – The
fact that suspected terrorists shouldn’t be able to legally buy assault rifles
in the United States. But, the actual word “Gun Control” was strategically
avoided by both candidates.
In the second presidential debate that happened on Oct 9th,
crass language and the past sexual discretion’s of Donald and Bill were at the
top of the nation’s pressing campaign issues of the new millennium. Washington
University town-hall second debate comments on gun violence: We need to close the gun show loopholes – How
many years have we been hearing that? Clinton brings up violence at Trump
rallies, and then effectively ends the debate on gun violence and control with
no further plans or even some solutions to offer. Trump brings up inner-city violence in Chicago again, basically
giving a wink in the black voter’s direction in another lame attempt to get any
voters of color to support him this
coming November.
It seems that any real issues that need to be addressed in
the 2016 presidential election will be overshadowed by which candidate is going
to be viewed as the most crooked, rude, crude, and selfishly untrustworthy
candidate by the American people on November 8th. Eighty-nine percent of us
have already made up our minds already – now it’s up to the other 11% to jump
on the bandwagon and sum up the issues
for themselves, something that neither presidential contender so far has seemed
to not have the time to face the tough hard issues that are facing us,
threatening our individual rights, and dividing us as a people, let alone a
nation.
No one ever anticipated how bizarre and contentious this
election was going to steer towards. How could they; it is totally
unprecedented in the history of American politics. Unfortunately for us all, it
has also turned UN-presidential in its current national presentation. There is
no doubt that a future generation of Americans will be studying this election
for decades, if not centuries in school; categorizing what went drastically
wrong with each controlling parties nomination for president in 2016. Let's hope that our youth in the future also figure out a way to make sure
that an election like the one we are facing now, with only a few more weeks
left until Election Day – Never ever happens in American political history
again.

Those Who Would Take Away our Unalienable American Rights
A lady asked Dr. Benjamin Franklin, “Well Doctor, what have we got a republic or a monarchy? A republic replied the Doctor; if you can keep it!” - We are at a crossroads of American history, where we, as Americans, must stop being a divided nation and take back together our rights to life, liberty, and happiness, from those who self-righteously and selfishly want to take away our God Given Rights of Individual, Sexual, and Religious freedoms. We must all constantly strive to keep our rights safe for our nation’s citizens to enjoy, regardless of their race, creed, color, or personal orientation; from those who constantly scheme to take those unalienable rights away from others. BTA
Trump Supporters: Supporting Bigotry, Violence, Womanizing, and Sexual Assault.
43% of America wants to see Trump leave the race with only weeks to go before the November election, due to his numerous surfacing gross statements towards women. 57% say he should not withdrawal. This begs the question, " When did our standards for Commander in Chief fall so low as to even consider Donald Trump for the position in the first place." (Or what the hell is wrong with 57% of America!)

Standing Rock: Earth's Protectors and Spiritual Warriors
One of the
largest Native American protests in recent modern history has now taken a spiritual
turn near Standing Rock at the Oceti Sakowin Camp in North Dakota. More and more people are starting to see the
Standing Rock Pipeline Protest as the fruitions of Black Elk’s prophesy of the surviving
tribes, after generations of suffering, coming together and healing as one
people. Malaine Stoneman, a member of
the Sicangu Lakota tribe, was quoted by the Des Moines Register as saying that “I’ve
never seen anything like this. This is more than just protecting the land. This
is a huge spiritual movement.” Over 7,000 campers have arrived from all over
the world, and tribal leaders from hundreds of tribes have shown up to show
their support - Helping to further fulfill Black Elk’s Prophesy in 2016.
