A SOMEWHAT MODEST PROPOSAL...

I've been thinking about what I should "propose" and I have come up with something that hits close to home... and that's the right to keep and bear arms. Many U.S. citizens have been fighting to either continue this or discontinue it. Well my personal opinion is that this should be continued. Sure there are some downsides to this, but everyone should have the right to protection. I understand that the government wants our country to be safer... but not everyone that bears arms is using them for bad reasons. We all need to be able to keep ourselves safe. Some people don't believe in using guns or keeping them in their homes. That's fine.... we're all individuals and we have our own thoughts and we can act anyway we want. On the other hand, there are many people that are for the second amendment and have guns in there homes and guns on their person at all times. If you think about it, many of the people that have used guns in an unlawful way, weren't allowed to have guns in the first place... That's no reason to take them away from everyone. Anyway, that's just something that has been on my mind for a while.

Some people agree and some disagree but we're all entitled to our own opinion

  1. Austen, I look forward to reading your proposal. I wish you could have made it to the peer review. I feel it would have been very beneficial to you. You will have to revise and edit it very diligently to avoid a further grade penalty after missing tonight's mandatory class peer session.
