So what do you write about when you don’t have much to say?
I could talk about the weather. Pretty cool here in London,
and I needed to wear my earmuffs to and fro. Yes that’s right earmuffs. Well if
you think that is funny you should see some of the headgear people wear. And it
has been cold for several days now, too cold to melt the snow that is on the
car next to where we live.
Ok so that’s the weather out of the way.
What’s next?
Heard this morning that Mr Obama is going to get tough on the
gun toting public and he promised that America will be out of the war in Iraq very
soon. Even gave a date for it.
As to the gun comment, well it is high time that something
was done. What on earth the average American needs an automatic or high powered
assault weapon is totally beyond me. Ok so there is something in the constitution
that says they have the right to bear arms, or some such statement.
Ah here is the quote I was looking for, the Second
Amendment to the Constitution simply states
, “A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free
state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
But hang
on a bit, if you read it through in its entirety what it actually says more
than just the right to bear arms. Surely it says that because a man might need
to defend his county he needs to be armed. So if I interpret it properly then folks have
the right to bear arms if they in the military. It seems that the folks who
want these very dangerous weapons are taking things out of context. If it is as
obvious as that to me then why isn’t it as clear to the average American?
Or am I
missing something here.
