Good morning friends.

The late Great Martin Luther king once said; “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” — I’m going to take that cue from him this morning.

I have read a lot the comments from Constitutionalists out here and their thoughts about the precious Second Amendment.

The second Amendment was adopted in December 1791, yes 1791. Let me do the math, that is 225 years ago. And yet, people refer to it as if the Founding Fathers ever imagined assault rifles, automatic weapons, AR-15’s and etc.

Furthermore, to the Constitutional scholars out here, the founding fathers are not God. They were people just like us that screwed up all the time.

Sammy & Family has personally had enough of the “God, Country and Guns” mentality that plagues this country and beyond.

The world is more one than ever before. The world is more ethnic then ever before, get over it. We’re Not going back to the slave era as much as some of these gun obsessed people would like to, its not happening.

Our Country’s values are inverted. We must put Lives before Profits. Not the other way around. Enough is Enough.

If anyone thinks there should Not be a ban on Military type guns, I would like you to unfriend me, or tell me who you are so I can unfriend you.

If anyone believes the NRA is a responsible and respectable organization, I would like you to unfriend me or give me the opportunity to unfriend you.

If anyone believes that hunting animals is an American Pastime like watching a football game, I would like you to unfriend me or give me the opportunity to unfriend you. Hunting is not a sport. A sport requires two teams that want to play. I am 100 percent confident animals do Not want to participate in the sport of hunting. Therefore its murder, not a sport.

We don’t like guns in this account. Its a sick perversion already. I’m not interested in your academics, I just think you’re an ignorant and arrogant ass.

The Orlando shooter was going to commit an act of terror anyway, we all understand that. But to have such easy access to that kind of weaponry is not just dumb and blind, its a complete disregard for lives, animals and people.

Lastly, Peter Bergen, terrorism analyst for CNN, one of the best analysts in the world, says Most extremist attacks, Non Muslim and Muslim attacks in the USA, are people from the USA. Yes, American Citizens.

Let me leave you with this, If we think we’re going to bomb and kill our way out of this abroad, then we’re feeding right into the hands of war mongers.

We have a serious Gun problem in the United States. Correcting it will Not stop all acts of terrorism, but it will save a lot of lives. That is just basic math. Less guns equals less deaths.

Here’s my quote; “Guns and people, kill animals and people”

If you have a passion for guns, I do Not like you. Its too late and too many mass shooting incidents ago to sugarcoat all of this horror with bull_hit academia.

Sincerely,  Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.

Good morning friends.

The Memorial Service for Muhammad Ali took place yesterday in his hometown of Louisville Kentucky. There were over 100 hundred thousand people in the streets on Grand Avenue to watch the funeral cars pass on there way to the Ali Arena where the service took place.

The Arena itself had thousand and thousands of people. The guest list was filled with people from all walks of life, religions, and nationalities. The Ali Arena was where the champ first started boxing at 12 years old. His last fight was fought in that same arena in 1961. And yesterday, on June 10th, 2016, the memorial service for the passing of the great one was held there too.

His wife and most of his kids spoke. Ali was the father of 9 children from 4 marriages over the course of his life. Other speakers included, former President Bill Clinton, Will Smith, Bryan Gumball, Rabbi Michael Lerner, the editor of Tikkun Magazine and so on and so on.  Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis attended. The king of Jordan was there, the former Afghan President, Hamid Karzai was there and many many others.

Quick highlights from the speakers.  One speaker, I forgot which one called Ali a “Citizen of the World”, he was loved in every country around the world. Muhammad was possibly the most well known person on Earth. Another speaker said, Muhammad was so much a part of everyone’s lives that everyone can now say, “Ali Is Me”, I really loved that comment.

And then Billy Crystal and Bill Clinton Brought the house down with their remarks.

Billy Crystal on Ali,

“He was  Tremendous bolt of lightning created by mother nature out of thin air, a fantastic combination of power and beauty. At the moment of impact, it lights up everything so you can see everything clearly. Ali struck us in the middle of America’s darkest night and the heart of its most threatening storm, his power toppled the mightiest of foes and intense light shined on America and we were able to see clearly in justice, equality, poverty , pride, self realization, courage, laughter, love, joy and religious freedom for all. Muhammad Ali forced us to take a look at ourselves. He was a silent messenger of peace. He taught us life is best when you build bridges between people, not walls. Ali ran with the Gods, walked with the crippled and smiled at the foolishness of it all. 

Some of Bill Clinton’s words;

“He perfected gifts that we all have, every singe one of us have gifts of mind and heart. Its just that Ali found away to release them large and small.

Have a great day friends. Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.
