Stop Pretending: Stephen Colbert's Powerful Message on US Gun Violence
Well, every country has got some or the other problem and none of them are perfect. But, we try to understand our past and avoid all the boo-boo. So, that we can live the life in peace without any war or shedding any more blood. The US gun violence is sprawling its wing at the speed of the lightning and spreading its terror like never before. Well, every time we heard about gun violence, US government pretends that everything is going to be normal, but when? Stephen Colbert on a Friday's Late Show has tried to stop dustup and raised a direct question on government imbecile nature and its feeble law to prevent Gun Violence.
He said that, In the face of the killings in Oregon yesterday, I honestly don't know what to do or say, other than that our hearts are broken for the people struck by this senseless tragedy. And I don't know how to start a show like this, which is often about whatever happened in the last 24 hours. I can't pretend that it didn't happen. I also can't pretend to know what to do to prevent what happened yesterday all the times it has happened before. But I think pretending is part of the problem. These things happen over and over again, and we are naturally horrified and shocked when we hear about them. But then we change nothing, and we pretend that it won't happen again.
Some say the answer is stricter gun laws. Others say the answer is mental health care - that we need better treatment or just keep the guns out of the hands of the insane. Maybe it's both, I honestly don't know. But I do know that one of the definitions of insanity is changing nothing and then pretending that something will change. He added. Well, we also don’t know what went wrong. But, whatever it is, it is needed to stop once and for all. This killings ratio is creating terror among peoples.
