In this country village where I live at the foot of the Luberon, some people own a gun because they are hunters. They are registered and pay for this hunting pass only during the hunting season. When I had my dog I resented the hunting season, because while taking the dog for long walks I had the nasty shooting and banging noises going on and it was dangerous, in a way, because of the stray bullets, to go for walks during that period. After all, we share the same countryside, and why should they have the right to own a gun and disturb the peaceful countryside, kill little animals like rabbits they do not need for food anyway.Now I can hear them when I go mushroom picking in autumn and I do not like their noise. Very often they are overfed elderly men and also heavy drinkers. I stand against hunters and their gun permits. The Norway massacre could have been avoided in a society with NO GUN permit. Why should we own weapons?
I hope the people in Norway will not want more guns for the people as a reaction to this dreadful one man disaster. If another man had a gun on this island he could have shot him and save some lives. That is possible, but the heart of the matter is really the first one who owns a gun, and in a society with NO GUN it is impossible to shoot at another human being, it is impossible to kill, either animal or human being. Utopia? Why not? We could give it a try all around the world, and become more pacifist and richer, with less money spent on weapons generally speaking.
RIP for the victims, the youngsters who all shared generous ideas, and their families. What with the upset weather, the increase of the homeless in France, the growth of the Far right in Europe, It seems that life is less secure around us but there is no need to be frightened. The solutions are social and human, a question of sharing more equally what we have. There is no title and no music for my humble thoughts.
