Butter Side Up

Well if you read or watch the news you've heard about the Arizona shooting and are probably really annoyed with hearing about it. Yes it is sad, but of course it isn't the first time something like this has happened. We recall Columbine and the Virgina Tech shootings and the more recent school board attack that was considered to be police suicide. If you haven't heard about the school board attack, because some people haven't, basically a man of obvious mental illness broke into the school board office with a hand gun and fired at the people, he didn't hit anyone and then the police shot him because he wouldn't put the gun down. Hence police suicide.

Anyway, the Arizona shootings. The one thing that I'm going to mention again is the lack of gun control. I'm not going to talk about how sad it is, because it is sad and I don't think we need to talk about it. We talked about this in government yesterday, about how if someone is obviously mentally ill you should not allow them to buy a gun. Now the topic of gun regulation has been coming up a lot, and as much as I would like for there to be at least a thought about regulating gun usage but I'm not confident about that. Most people don't consider it a gun issue so much as a mental illness issue, but of course what can you do about that. You can't just send them all away to an island somewhere. Think about this and let me know what you think about the whole thing.
