An appellate court in Washington D.C. is deciding whether an anti-gun law is constitutional. According to the Associated Press, one of the judges in the case asked if the "privilege" of having guns was necessary since there are no longer militias. First of all, if you take one look at amendment II of the US constitution, you can see that owning guns is not a privilege. It is a right. It says "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Obviously, this amendment was meant to support militias, but notice what it says after the coma. "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." I don't see how anybody who knows the constitution can not think that the second amendment gives Americans the right to bear arms. I predict that if the Washington D.C. law is upheld, other states will be encouraged to make their own anti-gun laws. What will you gun owners do if you were no longer allowed to own guns. Do you think criminals obey anti-gun laws? no. Anti-gun laws don't keep guns out of criminals hands. They just keep everybody else from being able to protect themselves.

I go to the University of South Florida. Since the beginning of this semester, this Christian guy has been trying to convert me to Christianity. At the beginning of the semester, I told him that I used to be a Christian, but I don't go to church any more because there are things that I strongly disagree with. I thought he would leave me alone after that, but no! Evidently, I'm his project for the semester. Whenever he sees me, he wants me to stop and say prayers. In order to be polite and open minded, I've been letting him say his prayers. However, after his recent hokis pokis, I'm starting to get really annoyed. This weekend, he came to my table and started talking about how the bible says that Jesus healed people's eye sight by putting his hands on their eyes and he wanted to try this with me. Admittedly, I was a little bit curious if something would actually happen, so I didn't try to stop him. Obviously, there wasn't any change in my sight, so when I left the cafateria, I was angry and embarrassed. I was embarrassed for going along with his crap and angry because I feel like Christians think it's their job to change people. Why can't you Christians accept that you can't change everybody to your liking! There are attempts to band gay marriage and abortion because of Christians! Stop trying to impose your narrow view of the world on everybody!
