Michael, first of all it is spelled BARACK. secondly because i oppose barak it makes me a racist? maybe i don’t believe in the things he stands for. sure, i think he has some good points, but he’s not the guy i’d pick for my president. I don’t really want someone who’s wants to revoke some of my rights. for example, the second amendment, the right to bear arms.
A Huge debate today, as a matter of fact, the Supreme Court has actually for the first time in the History of this debate, decided to hear both sides and interpret the meaning of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. So why is it that people would want to outlaw guns? I just don’t get it. You say guns kill people. WRONG!! The person who pulls the trigger is the one who makes the decision to shoot, nothing else. If we’re going to blame guns for murders, then I think we should start blaming our cars for speeding and our pencils for incorrect answers on tests.
Taking away our right to bear arms is like taking away our right to fight back. Criminals want unarmed victims and Dictators want disarmed citizens. Do you really think that if we outlaw guns, the crime will disappear with them? I think not. If a criminal has the desire for a gun, even if they’re outlawed, he’ll still find a way to make it happen. People smuggle so much stuff now days. So a criminal breaks into my house threatening me and my family. He’s threatening me and the people that I love. Then what? What are we supposed to do to defend ourselves? So you take away guns and take your way to fight back
As United States Citizens, our ownership of guns is what helped keep Russia from invading us in the past. Sure, they were a strong and powerful empire with the military capabilities necessary for conquering our military. But if they would’ve tried to come into the U.S. and fight the citizens to take over the country, they couldn’t have done it. The fact that we all owned guns showed that there was no way for them to take us over. We wouldn’t allow it. We, as a people defending a nation would’ve fought back and won.
So today, we have this debate. This “2-sided” argument. But I can only see this: I see the productive benefits that come from having the right to bear arms will far out-weigh any complaint against this right. So please America, be reasonable, be smart, and think about this. Besides, Ted Kennedy’s car has killed more people than my gun ever will.
As a 16-year old, gun-owning, straight, high-school educated, politically informed, Christian Female, I am a Proud Supporter of the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America.
