Notebook Week 9 - 6m

Gun control is a hot topic in the senate. Politicians running around fighting with pen paper and cameras over who's opinions on guns is better or worse. With the elephants running around trumpeting the nature of freedom and individual responsibility and donkeys braying about background checks and close the loopholes of buying guns. With the two circling each other sniffing for blood, waiting for the other to show an opening. Whenever a new hunter shows up walks into a school and shoots helpless deers, the argument fires up again. Then you got these people who use assault rifles, saying it’s their right protected by the 2nd amendment, yes their right but my quest is what’s the point of having these weapons. You cant take an AR-15 deer hunting unless you’re wanting swiss cheese instead of deer meat. So its simple take away assault weapons, no we can’t do that is against the 2nd amendment, so the two sides to this coin can seem to agree or come to a reasonable understanding. Drawing a gun or drawing up a law both are going to change the lives of people for better or worse it truly just depends on what the end goal is and what it’s gonna take to reach the point of nirvana, of peace and balance without so much bloodshed. The Trump Administration is going after the issue their own way, is it right or wrong, who knows, I don’t agree but what do I know. Guns are so embedded in the American way of life gun powder runs through our veins, and with firearms so deeply embedded in the American ideology how do you fix it? How do you solve a problem that has been apart of our lifestyle for as long as America was a nation? Change the foundation and you risk collapsing the entire structure that stands on it.
