I have loved reading science fiction since I was about eight years old. There are more than 550 paperback science fiction books in my library that I bought mostly when in high school. I still enjoy reading those kinds of stories and books.

One of my favorite kinds of story was about exploring worlds in our solar system or in others. I especially liked it when intelligence life was found and the explorers had to try to understand them. Not only was communication almost impossible at times, but just understanding how they though posed a very difficult task.

Some aliens had such different though processes and logic that it was very hard to make sense since humans usually have at least the same basic for our logic. We communicate through sound or sight, and sometimes touch. But how about an alien race that communicated through color, or telepathy, sending thoughts to each other.

Even more hard to understand were the stories about exploring other realities. In them the inhabitants were so different from us that absolutely nothing made sense. Their logic, if they had it, was not ours, not even of our universe.

When I look at our politicians I think some of them must be an alien race, and a few from a different reality totally. When it comes to guns, I have a hard time understanding most of their thought processes and some are simply so foreign to me it is impossible to understand.

For example, when a reporter questioned the mother of the murderer that killed five of our armed services members in Tennessee recently, the reporter kept asking if he liked guns, if he hunted or liked to shoot. I could understand a little of her thought process. She is so sure guns are evil and cause people to do bad things she focused on it, rather than the obvious cause.

When an insane fool killed five people in a Charleston church, President Obama immediately called for more gun control. That fit his agenda and nothing else really mattered except pushing it. Guns are bad so something must be done about them. It didn’t matter to the president or his thought process that this murderer was not allowed to have a gun under current laws.

And all gun owners are bad so they must be controlled. Although there are millions of gun owners like me who have had and shot guns all their lives, and have never hurt anybody with a gun, President Obama condemned all of us based on the action of one idiot. But at the same time, to fit his agenda, he says we can’t condemn all Muslims for the actions of a radical few.

One case pushed the line to, or past, the line between our reality and that of the being that was questioned. This being, I can’t call her a woman, is on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. It is one of the beings that voted to make the city a sanctuary city, meaning criminal aliens from other countries, not other universes, could stay there with no threat of being arrested.

After one of those criminal aliens who was a wanted felon and had already been deported five times found or stole a federal agent’s gun and killed an innocent woman on the board walk, he admitted he was in San Francisco because he knew he would not be held accountable for his crimes.

When confronted and asked if there were any second thoughts about this being’s vote to make the city a sanctuary city, it responded “We have a gun problem.”

At first I tried to understand this though process. Did it mean the federal agent should not have had a gun that could be lost or stolen? But this being has armed guards, to that didn’t make sense in any reality I could understand.

Maybe this being was like the old Chatty Cathy doll that had set responses when you pulled its string, or the old Magic Eight Ball that answered your questions with a limited number of set answers. As far as I can understand, there was no more though behind responses from those toys than the one given about guns.

And California Senator Diane Feinstein is quoted as saying that bad guys with guns would lay them down and do no harm if no good guys did not have guns. Again, that is from a reality I will never understand.

Guns and law abiding gun owners are not the problem, no matter what universe or reality you are from. But some will continue to try to do away with them and condemn all gun owners, no matter the lack of logic or sense of it
