To live by the gun and die by the gun is a statement that means to demand respect! Life is a vicious cycle of various circumstances and situations that good and bad karma has a hold of. That blatantly means that common courtesy isn’t a matter of respect towards the intellect of some individuals, whereas that’s nothing new up under the sun, we only thrive to find comfort within the matters of acknowledging difference of opinions. Then we lean towards the masses for the decisions of what should be the sound act thereof.
History states that firearms/guns were created and known as hand cannons way back in the late 1300’s. That means that if firearms/guns derived from the physical concept of a war weapon then the factors of respect and disrespect comes up as the major issue or of the major topic, and respect is acknowledging and accepting one for their abilities and worth. With that being noted, wars are fought for a variety of reasons, including economic, territorial, religious, political, civil, revenge, and ideological. The reason for living is a mixture of all the reasons for war but the overall aspect is that of respect. For instance, in the wild wild West or the Cowboy era the factors of owning a firearm/gun were those of morals and values. The principles were to hunt wild animals to feed the family, and to protect the home front from the “wild life.” Now it’s known that as life progressed, the wild life began to get on the rise and wars continued. As life continued on, the era of gangsters began in about the 1920s til about the 1930s and we can examine that in that era the wild life/the crime life had truly escalated leaving the factor of respect at it’s all time low.
As times have changed circumstances and situations differ but responsible and respectful living is still a harsh reality. Many individuals overlook the historical avenues of why we face the actions we face. May it be because it’s best to kill the messenger and not receive or accept the message? Because we humans have a limited free-will in which our “choices” can determine if and how our present and future time is protected. Instead of remaining silent and accepting reactions of “it is what it is”, allow your voice to be heard. All individuals have a right not to be forced, just because history has had an enormous amount of disrespect doesn’t mean that we must tolerate disrespect within the present and future.
Having self accountability is the best starting place, because the only reason to have a firearm/gun on one’s person is for protection or strongarming a person. If a person has to have a firearm it is because of being scared of their actions of their past and they are scared of karma biting them in the butt. For what common reason would a person with a firearm enter into a public place of education, business or worship with a firearm/gun? So a person would enter a school with a firearm/gun to scare a teacher for a better grade? Or a person is going to enter a restaurant or any other public business with a firearm/gun to get better service? Oh a person is going to enter a place of worship to get a promise that they’re going to make our Almighty Creator God to listen to their demands? Then when the person with the firearm uses it they face a large amount of time and while in court plead insane, but was sane while they were outside the jail and court room carrying that firearm and becoming the judge, jury, and executor. The mass is thriving to live, that’s why we aren’t in that wild and or fast lane of life, just because we have to come out into the streets to take care of our livelihoods doesn’t mean we are out there to live the wild and fast life. Individuals that are in schools, individuals that are at an employment and those in a place of worship have done no wrong because they are not involved in the wild and fast life.
