While you may have your views about what the US is all about, and present
government mechanisms may contravene my beliefs, I strongly believe that our
country was founded on a premise that the individual should be trusted to
engage in his pursuits, and remain relatively unfettered in his aspirations.
I believe that this country was created in response to the movements of the
Renaissance and Enlightenment, and the premise that an educated man was
certainly able to make good judgements. I think it is poor judgement to
remove the privilege of_______ (fill in the blank) from the group as a
result of a series of individual's actions. It is more of a threat to
over-regulate a population than to under-regulate it. Cars need to be safe,
but drivers need to be more careful. Rules are made for people, not
inanimate objects- they don't listen. We are at a crossroads, where the
population of the US could be restricted from _________(fill in the blank).
We have to ask ourselves if the loss of this privilege will weaken us as a
people. Because supposedly, we still are where our government derives its
power. But you might question that also. Remember that it's not just about
guns and jeeps- that's why I left the blanks.
Good debate. Maybe off topic, but then again, rules were made to be
broken....
