Current Affairs: April 2007 Archives

it is hard not to talk about it.  yesterday when i saw the news i was shocked.  i had no idea the danger.  no idea the situation was so grave.  no idea the desperation, panic and fear people felt.

i am disappointed in the governor of the state who says that gun control shouldn't be discussed at this time.  let's not talk about it.  it's inappropriate because this isn't a political issue.  not at all.  so people are to say nothing?  we don't quiet the people who lose someone to a drunk driver when they want to talk about drinking and driving.  we say something about the laws.

i am sorry this happened.  it is scary that this happened.  that this could happen.  that this continues to happen in our country, time and time again.

i am tired of everyone being quiet.  i am tired of  nothing happening because someone will say it is my right to have a gun in five minutes.  well bully for you.  apparently it was his right too and we see what came of that.  i personally am willing to try it out and see what happens if we make people wait just a bit longer and fill out a lot more paperwork.

i don't think it is too much to ask, considering i can't take a bottle of water through security at an airport.  but let's give people guns in a day and say nothing because that clearly makes sense.
