Well, it would've been far more unlikely if there actually were gun control in this country, so... yea, it's going to be political.

Well...then we get into perhaps the greatest flaw in strict federal gun control or outright federal firearms bans. Regardless of how many people desire a state reminiscent of the United Kingdom it won't and shouldn't happen in the United States as it would be A. impossible and B. dangerous to implement, in the United States..You make firearms harder to obtain and the everyman may still forgo buying, but actual criminals, gangs, people hell-bent on destruction, they'll just buy illegally. These guns will have no serial numbers, no possible way of tracing the purchase, and funnel money back into organized crime syndicates and drug cartels.


Now onto a more personal issue. A lot of people forget that the United States is continental nation and is far more than New York, Chicago, and L.A. Where I grew up almost everyone carried in the summer because of rattle snakes; I've killed a few myself. My dad grew up in the same area, on a ranch, and he'd have to deal with coyotes and wolves (although in my lifetime the two things I only ever saw him shoot at were rattle snakes and a Woodpecker who was pecking the house ). Anywho, guns are a necessity for many people but a lot of people in urban environments tend to forget that. That's part of why I'm a huge states rights advocate; there may be few people in the state of Idaho, but we know how we want to live and I don't think it should be up to a congress from New York to decide whether or I can have a firearm, because simply won't understand. For folks like me, guns aren't just for protection and they aren't just a hobby. They are a part of our culture out here. I bonded with my brothers and my father while shooting at pop cans and my grandpa took me out hunting with a rifle he bought when he was 18.

Rant in short: I am a small government, states-rights guy. I'm that way because I came from a state that isn't very powerful when it comes to federal issues. Let each state do what is right for each state, and for Idaho that is easy and legal access to firearms.

And I figure we'll be seeing much more craziness in the coming week as the "Doomsday" grows closer, especially on the 20th and 21st. Those will be some interesting days.

I think a lot of these murders and mass shootings lately have been due to the oncoming apocalyptic atmosphere. Obviously most people are sensible enough to know that all these End Times predictions are stupid and blown out of proportion but it seems like some people are going crazy because of it. Whether it's because they actually believe the world will end or because they want to create hysteria. And I figure we'll be seeing much more craziness in the coming week as the "Doomsday" grows closer, especially on the 20th and 21st. Those will be some interesting days.
