RE: Gun Control? What happened to freedom?
First of all, thank you for your service! As a gun owner myself, I feel that tightening gun laws only hurt those who abide by the law. People who want to kill will do so no matter what the law states. We have to address the mental health issue in this country. Taking away guns, tightening gun laws won't solve anything. Stronger background checks could help, someone's mental state should be taken into consideration. I often watch the news, and I find it difficult to accept the state that our country is in, the way we are so divided, and people don't want to hear someone else's opinion if it's not the same as their own. If we can't sit down like adults and discuss these problems, how will things ever get better? I'm not hopeful for the future. And I worry about how the country will be for my future grandkids, and great grandkids.
Wow, you really nailed it, I was gonna copy and paste and reply to the parts of the comment I liked until i realized it was basically the whole comment! lol. I too worry about the state of this country and only see it becoming more and more of a police state as time goes on. I am tired of people not being able to have real conversations, it makes it impossible for us to get anything done, but maybe thats they way they planned it? There are so many things that divide us as a country now rather than bring us together and like you I am worried about the future of this country and my family.
Thanks for the great comment ;)
Thank you for putting this out there and starting a discussion. I am seeing other comments on your post and I'm loving that you take things in stride. But I also see people putting "facts" out there that simply are not true. I always tell people to exercise due diligence before believing what they see or hear, but today, that's difficult with the media, and websites putting false facts out there to push their own agenda. It's not easy to find the truth with all the bias out there, but it's out there and can be found. Thanks again, and keep up the good work!!
It's ironic that you cite false facts when the OP wrote one (to be fair he has since withdrawn it), and has cited a false one about knife deaths that still sits there.
I noticed that, and I've noticed how gracious he's been when someone points that out. He's more than willing, it seems, to exercise due diligence and change if necessary. I will tell him, just like I will tell you, that you have to be careful what media you watch, and what websites you visit, in today's politically polarized environment, everyone has an agenda that they're trying to push down your throat. There are very few out there that push the facts and only the facts. And common sense is not so common these days. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And all I'm saying is to think for yourself and don't believe everything you see or hear on the news or online, seek out the places that want you to know the truth. And that goes to anyone who reads this, not just you. And I understand that in some countries, stricter gun laws may work... but here, in the U.S.A. we have states that have stricter gun laws and those states are some of the most violent in the country, so what works for one country, may not work for another. We are a diverse world, all countries are unique in their own way, just like the people that occupy them.
Sorry about that dick, thank u for being so kind.. he was out of line and now will pay for it with profile points and money.. that is not how we are suppose to act on this platform, it is unexceptable to attact other people who comment to me..
Thanks again..
No thanks necessary. It just goes back to my point of not being able to discuss things like an adult. Thanks again to you, and good luck in your future endeavors! I'm looking forward to watching your adventure!
oh, thanks a bunch! You seem like an awesome person so I followed you.. Welcome to steemit by the way, if you ever need any help just shoot me a comment and I will be more than willing to answer questions and/or point you in the right direction with anything you may want or need.
Don't get discouraged with steemit before you give it a fair chance, it is difficult for newbies on purpose, to weed out the weak bloggers who don't deserve to be here.. i can tell by your comments that you deserve to be here so just stick out the first few months and you will do great!
Anyhow, I look forward to seeing some of posts when my life calms down a lil bit after my move.
Take care!
I hadnt gotten around to checking the other things u wrote, i was going to continue the conversation we started but i am in the middle of a move out of the country and hadnt gotten around to it yet.. but now i feel as tho u are just trolling and i dont like that.. all ur comments from here out will be flagged by me because u are being a a dick to other people.. i did my best to have an open conversation but u refuse to act like an adult and are trolling othe people who made comments on my page and that is just wrong! Ur problem is with me not them, grow up!
