U.S. National Government Part 2

For part two of the United States Government, I decided to write about Gun Control. The fact that we have people pushing to take away the rights of citizens of this great country, is absolutely appalling! We are afforded the right to our firearms according to the 2nd amendment. The argument that by taking away our weapons will make us safer is completely ridiculous.
We are a nation of over 300 million people, and estimated 270 million guns spread amongst us. We are the most well armed country in the entire world, because of the 2nd amendment. We have that right passed down to us from our forefathers because they saw first hand of a government that got too big for its britches, and saw what was needed to take it down. They didn't want us to be unarmed, and nor do I.
Majority of murders with guns are in gun free zones. These criminals aren't stupid, they know exactly where guns are allowed and where they are not. And those criminals that are killing them own those weapons illegally. The shooting in an Aurora, Colorado movie theatre, gun free zone. The school in Newton, CT, gun free zone. Muslim man goes on a shooting rampage in Ft. Hood, Texas, gun free zone. See a pattern?
As a Veteran of this wonderful country of ours, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution, and I, just like every other veteran, take that oath very seriously. When you talk about taking away my rights, that I defended, you are barking up the wrong tree. People will still be able to get their hands on weapons, legally or illegally, so if you make it harder for law abiding citizens to buy a gun, you are taking way their right to defend themselves, and that is not only wrong, it is inhumane.

Commentary of My Colleague's Work

I had to comment or critique a classmates blog that I either agreed with or did not agree with and I came across a blog titled Weak President Strong Government: What Would Our Founding Fathers Think? written by Tijuana Whitlock.
I agree with everything about this article written by my class colleague Tijuana Whitlock. I don't think our Founders would be very happy to see a president dead set on pushing his agenda even if that means going around the Constitution.
He is very disrespectful to our country's military and veterans. I myself am a veteran and had to wait an incredible amount of time to be taken care of by the V.A. I still have many friends still in the service who are completely fed up with him dismantling our military and handing out pink slips. It's not like our men and women in uniform don't have enough to worry about while fighting terrorists, now they have to worry about losing their jobs, because this president is very dead set about bringing our numbers in service down, even with the growing threats of terrorism.
