Good evening,
Your Pal Ronnie here with a somber update before heading to bed. Sad news is coming out of Manhattan this evening where a gunman opened fire, killing three people before being shot and killed himself in a gunfight with law enforcement.
Details remain scarce and no motive has been uncovered yet, but authorities have confirmed that one of the deceased was an off-duty NYPD officer. It is a heartbreaking tragedy. May their souls rest in peace.
This incident will no doubt reignite the national debate on gun control. Politics aside, I ask this simple question: Why are there three times more guns in America than there are people? Who exactly are we arming ourselves against?
Personally, I do not own a gun. I believe it would be a bad idea for me to have one, to be honest. Just think about the number of weapons people are hoarding in their homes. Many of these firearms were purchased without need or real purpose. The world today is more civilized than at any other point in human history.
It looks like impulse buying is when you spend your hard-earned money on something you did not plan for or truly need. When we apply that to weapons, the consequences can be deadly. In moments of heated disagreement, instead of seeking peace, some reach for their firearms and cause irreversible harm to innocent lives.
I truly hope the NYPD can swiftly get to the bottom of what happened tonight. I also hope they provide support to the families grieving the loss of their loved ones. Let us keep them in our prayers.
God bless you. Off to bed.
-Pal Ronnie-
