Rhetorical Blog 4

When I first thought about my first college assignment, I was a little hesitant because I thought it was going to be really tough, but I was wrong, it was easy. This booklet was sent to me in Hampton, NH and it was full of the pros and cons of the 2nd amendment. This was funny to me, because hunting is a popular sport in New Hampshire. I read about all of the different points, and when it comes down to it, I believe the 2nd amendment is perfectly fine as it is, but some modifications could be made. I believe that guns could be a little bit harder to obtain, in terms of getting your license, because I have heard that you just have to take one or two short classes and the handgun will be yours. This is pretty rediculous because children are getting their hands on these guns and they are making there way from the safes in peoples homes, to the cubbies in the children's schools. I am seeing way too many stories on the news about children and the lives that have been taken, because of poor gun management. It should be a law that guns have to be stored in a safe. I'm sure that there are laws like that out there, but they are not being enforced and thats the problem. I guess it would be really tough to go around checking out who has their guns locked up and who doesn't, but we have to do something about it.
I remember hearing a complaint from my friends back home that own guns, that they had recieved a notice from Kittery Training Post, the place where they bought their guns, and that Barack Obama is trying to place a tax on the ownership of guns. They thought that this was rediculous, because some of them own over fifteen guns and if Obama is going to place a fifty dollar tax on them, then they would be screwed with the amount of money that the government is asking for. When it comes down to it, I think that a tax should not be placed on the each gun, but I would be down for a tax that would be placed on the purchase of guns, because like tobacco, they can kill. I know that probably sounds rediculous, but there is a bureau called the Guns, Tobacco, and Alcohol, and if the three of them are brought together, then they must have similar things in common.
I liked reading all of the 2nd amendment paraphernalia like the shirt that read. " 2nd Amendment. Our nation's first National Security"
