Gun control. And honestly, it's so
posted on the news that the economy has taken a back seat to that.
We've been arguing about this for years with no sense of resolution
on the issue.
And why I don't think we'll
ever see true gun control in the United States? We're a nation that plays
by our own rules. It doesn't mean that we take off our pants and run
around like a bunch of hooligans, it more means that we don't use the
metric system, we don't sign international treaties, we don't have
socialized medicine, we seem to disregard high speed rail in the
political arena, we believe in isolationism while at the same time
invading other nations. This is my take on gun
control: why do we need guns other than recreational hunting?
Honestly, if we are that scared of our federal government, then
something needs to change. Not government itself (even though some
elected officials should have the luck of getting defeated for
reelection) but the fact that we're the only country I can think of
where the citizens have a fear of government, other than nations that
are brutal dictatorships.
When my brother was home
for Easter break, I found out that fear of government was why he
owned a gun, and reasoned that the reason there are so few murders in
Vermont is because everyone has a gun. And that had me thinking: are
we a desensitized nation, where things that should make us sick to
our stomach we're completely comfortable with?
But then again, I think
everyone is bats--- crazy. AND WHERE DID THE ECONOMY GO???
