Guns themselves are nothing but a device a deadly device, emotionless devices that cannot be called brave or coward, useful or useless, no matter for which purpose you raise the gun, the bullet will kill or hurt someone without discrimination, without taking into account whether the target was, an adult or a child, a woman or a man, a brave man or a coward, an innocent or a thug deserving a bullet to head, such merciless and emotionless devices these guns are, they don't by themselves recognize the cause, they won't object if they get raised for a highly dubious unjust cause. Such is the dilemma and tragedy with guns ..... they don't ask questions, they don't object, they don't reject ....... they just mean business, business to shoot and kill the target and move on to next target, all ready to repeat ..... without questions. I cannot blame the guns, I cannot hold such insensitive, non breathing thing to be accountable for all the pump action it creates ...... I cannot hold these smoking things responsible for all their smoke.
So the dear readers it all boils down to who is behind the gun ...... no matter how automatic these guns become, there will always be someone present to pull the trigger or press the button, a living breathing human, capable of thinking, sensing, and a God gifted brain to make decisions, a human who has felt pain and knows what is about to happen, a human who can analyse the consequences of pulling the trigger. A lot should go into the mind of the man behind the gun while he / she is readying to pull the trigger, by a lot I mean really a lot ..... his pulling the trigger won't just hurt, kill another human ..... that action would lead to hurting a lot of people in the society, emotionally, financially and psychologically ...... it may very well lead to an insensitive pulling of lot many triggers and start a never ending chain of pulling triggers. The consequences are so grave that it could lead to wiping out a significant section of society in any particular place, leave scars that would never heal, make humans blood thirst beasts. It is not just killing one human ..... it is actually killing the humanity ......... So shouldn't that person be a person worthy of holding the gun? Shouldn't he be mentally strong enough to go through again and again over his decision or should it be any person with a gun?
Pulling the trigger may not involve much training but to be worthy of holding the gun ........ it should involve a lot of training. I will take the liberty to quote example of my own close relation who is permitted to carry fire arm or a gun ........ whenever that relation is at home, the gun goes into a locker, at place where it would take considerable time for my relation to get the gun himself, no family member has access to the key, no one is allowed to touch the gun, raise it for fun or even come close to it. My ignorant mind found this to be a stupid routine and couldn't resist asking .... why so much sensitivity you put into it? Don't you trust us? And the reply was no I don't trust emotional ignorant fools not worthy of holding gun ....... okay understandable, but why you keep it at a place where in case of emergency you too would spend 5 to 10 minutes to retrieve it ........ the answer was that's enough time to make up my mind whether I really need to pull the trigger now. Then I realised yep it takes a lot of training and a strong mind to hold a gun ...... it shouldn't be in hands of an emotional fool like or I shouldn't even be close to anywhere near the gun .... I am not trained to hold the gun.
Anyways I hope I have made my point so I would like to come straight to the issue and my question that I wish to ask .....
Should Pakistan police be allowed to carry loaded guns? Are they worthy of guns? The recent cases of Naqeeb Mehsud, Intezar from Karachi, Mudassir from Kasur and all those police encounters where police has killed hundreds of people without any questions asked ........ don't these incidents point to a grave issue and reality ........ that Pakistan police isn't worthy of guns ......... their performance against terrorists (somewhat evenly matched opponent) speaks volumes about their courage and mental strength. We have seen them running for their lives when faced with someone who is willing to shoot them in return.
I say police in its current as well as reformed state is not worthy of holding guns for another century or two to come. A policeman killed a sitting governor, no matter what the reasons but it proved that Pakistani police is an emotional fool like me who shouldn't be let near the guns. They are not only emotional fools, in their current state they are cowardly corrupt thugs as well.
