It's been a while since I have put my thoughts on this blog. I am about to give out my opinion, so beware. Someone ones told me, opinions are like butt-holes. We all have them, and they all stink. So here goes my stinky opinion, feel free to comment and tell me your opinion.
So, Trayvon Martin... lets talk about this whole case. Mr. Zimmerman is an overzealous wanna-be police officer. That's cool, we need all kinds of different people to make the world go round. Trayvon Martin, a typical teen that occasionally smokes pot, and gets in trouble with the law/school. Trust me, two-thirds of the people reading this were teens just like Trayvon. I know I was.
The tragic night. Well, it was very sad that the two of them got into a confrontation. If either of them would have just walked away, or moved on, there would not have been a problem. Zimmerman was clearly in the wrong to try and push and prod and find out what Trayvon was doing there. Trayvon was clearly in the wrong for trying to bash Zimmerman's head into the ground. Unfortunately, Zimmerman was not wrong in shooting Trayvon. When your life is in danger of being taken, you are allowed to defend yourself. This is what happened that night, and anyone who thinks there was so huge injustice done, please inform me what the injustice was.

Gun Control
I don't post on here very often, but every now and then I just need somewhere to vent. I have spoken on this topic once before about 6-7 months ago, and here I go again, because its all over in the media.
First off, everyone in the world is in favor of gun control. It's such a generic term and its annoying to associate it with what going on by the current White House administration. Nobody thinks that a known criminal should have weapons. So "gun control" is taking weapons out of the hands of known criminals. Like I said everyone is in favor of that.
Yesterday, as I heard Barack Obama speaking about how we needed to protect the kids in Newtown, (which unfortunately is too late), and protect kids in other places, I took a deep look into what he was proposing. Lets assume that every single measure that he wants is passed. Let's assume there are universal background checks. Lets assume there is a limit of 10 bullets per clip. Let's assume that assault rifles are banned and that you cant have armor piercing ammo, and everything else Mr. Obama wants to do.
All these new laws are now in effect in my pretend world. Now, lets take Adam Lanza getting ready to shot up Sandy Hook in our new world with all the news laws put in place by Obama. Let's even assume that the AR-15 and the 30 ammo clips that he used were taken away from his mother by the government. Instead Adam has a simple .22 gun with 10 clips that hold 10 bullets each. Adam takes the weapon from his mothers gun safe, goes to the school, and shoots and kills 20 students in this pretend world.
NOT A SINGLE THING THAT OBAMA IS PROPOSING WOULD HAVE CHANGED WHAT HAPPENED THERE. EVEN IF HE WERE TO GET EVERY SINGLE PROPOSAL HE SUGGESTS.
Now it doesn't bother me so much that he wants to make it so you can only get a 10 ammo clip, or that you can't have the grip on the front of the AR. But none of these will change anything. It's been proven time and again that the 1994 ban on Assault Rifles made no difference on gun violence in this country.
Just stating some facts today. Please feel free to comment.
