Nalin the Palin

Sometimes you got to wonder about what has happened to electing the right people or even listening to them. It is also hard to believe that people would actually listen to someone like Sarah Palin and actually support her. But it is hard to make a judgment as everyone has their own perspective. When it comes to Sarah Palin I wish she would just quit whatever publicity stunt she is doing and get a reality check. I do not also see how she can be a potential candidate for 2012 presidential elections. Maybe the Mayans where right, 2012 is the end

She told the NRA members that Obama would ban guns if he could. She also stated that he was going against the 2nd Amendment. For those that do not know what is the 2nd Amendment; “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.” She is easily assuming things and spreading her so called thoughts about it. The fact is simple, President Obama knows he can`t ban guns. He also knows about how irresponsible people are, not saying that everyone is. He has to come to make a proper set of laws that will allow people to have weapons but at the same time making it does not fall on the wrong hands. Even though guns are still legal, there are still people who get them illegally. The gun issue itself has too many variables to consider even before making a judgment. So how does Sarah Palin come to her so called conclusion that Obama would ban weapons if he could? Selling weapons legally is a good income if the taxes are paid.

She even said that abortion is immoral things to do. But the thing she considered to doing it once before. She even said that abortions will be funded by federal funding. But the reality is that Obama`s health care does not allow federal money to be spend on elective abortions. Maybe Palin does not know what “elective abortion” means. Well simply put the mother of the unborn wants the child to be intentionally aborted. The thing about abortion is that it really depends on the situation and you can`t make a law that is only one sided. And Sarah Palin does not have the right to tell woman what is right or wrong. I do believe they do know how to make the right choice.

Sometimes before you talk about issues or others it is always best to look back at your own troubles. Palin`s daughter Bristol is a single mother. And she is working on an abstinence campaign. Seriously, this is laughable Palin can`t even settle her daughter`s issues and she is telling other woman how they should be. Really when you look at it, I think more woman might look for an abortion after looking Bristol. Of course, this is not about Bristol but Palin. She is really not clear about many things.

In her recent interview, she even said that there should be more drilling for oil even after the major Gulf spill. In my previous article I did say we need oil up to a certain extent and the transition from oil to green energy is going to be a lengthy one. But with people like Sarah Palin spreading her assumptions the world seriously end up being polluted and dead.

If Sarah Palin becomes the President of the United States, then the countdown to the apocalypse has begun.

The National Rifle Association is fighting for people on the terror-watch list to own guns. Many members of the terror watch list are not even permitted to be passengers on planes, but more than 80% of them could buy a gun when they wanted to!

Before, I go on writing this article, I would like to make somethings clear. I am not a bit of a fan of guns at all. I think that they do not belong to a society at all. I would give some leeway to difference of thought when it comes to self protection with a handgun, but I do not tolerate GPMGs, AK-47s, grenades or M16s in neighborhoods at all.

But has the NRA gone nuts?! To me, this action equates to suspect pedophiles giving one to one tuition to minors. I equate this to allowing suspect arsonists buying flame throwers. This is seriously disturbing. Fighting the right for a suspect terrorist to buy 50lb of explosives? How in the hell are you going to defend that? They need bombs for self protection?

The NRA claims that people cannot be stripped of their rights just because they are on the terror lists. Well, they must be! If they cannot get from point A to point B by plane, how can they have a gun or bomb. They have their phones tapped without a warrant and people watching them (invasion of privacy), especially if they give sermons or speak out.

If someone feels that they are being wronged, they should not fight for their 2nd Amendment rights; they should fight not to be on that list! Isn’t that common sense? It would be like Jews fighting to be artists in Nazi Germany, rather than fighting Nazi oppression.

Look, I trust the US intelligence agencies. Yes, we know that they have made mistakes in their past and I still do not agree with water-boarding or Guantanamo Bay, but I would still trust the agencies. I think that we should be so conspiratorial. Lets give people doing their jobs the benefit of the doubt, but lets voice our opinion on matters that they are wrong in.

The issue though would blow out to be just about politics. That is sad. The Republicans would fight tooth and nail for the NRA and the Democrats would make them out to be Satans. How many times have we heard stupid rumors that President Obama was going to take away your guns?

You really want to know how hypocritical politics is: We should torture people that we think are terrorists, but they should have the right to have guns and explosives. This is the Republican version of the ACLU stopping people from exercising their right to free speech to protest against illegal immigration!

I really hope that we are going to approach matters from a point of common sense and not party affiliations.

Enough of guns already

The question is this when is enough, enough? What would it take for people to realize that guns is the key ingredient to killing people? How many innocent people must die because governments around the world kneel to gun lobby groups?

Finland took action when two killing spree happen a year within each other and after 19 unnecessary deaths. IT transformed overnight from a country that had a high tolerance for guns to one that now is very suspicious of guns.

When would the Americans get that? They had the Columbine school massacre, the Virgina Tech school massacre and the most recent case in Chicago where a crazed gunman went about killing people in a church. When would this stop? When would American stop kow-towing to the National Rifles Association and put a stop to this?

When would the Germans get it? This is not their first case of violence caused by firearms. Have they forgotten the Erfurt massacre in 2002? Or the more recent case is Emsdetten? When are the Germans going to wake up?

I really do not see the need to have guns in this world today. Guns do no good. They are there to kill and to deter aggression. That is the reason you see policemen and the Army having them, to be used as a deterrence force. Gangsters use it to kill. Period.

It is very difficult to go about on a killing spree with a sword or a bow and arrow but so easy to carry a gun. A woman can keep a gun in her purse. It is easy to conceal and much easier to use to carry out killing sprees.

Do you know what is the most irritating defense there is by the pro-gun lobby for acts like these? “Well if there were students in the schools that had guns, they could have taken care of this situation better.” That excuse is like saying that the International Olympic Committee should not go after athletes who take steroids but rather make it legal.

Another popular defense for gun and fire-arms use is that these items do not kill people but people kill people. These people would also point to the fact that there are less gun-related death that there are to food poisoning or jay-walking. My answer to this claim is a rather simple one: People kill people much easier with guns. Gun related deaths account for a very small percentage of death, but every death at the hand of a fire-armed lunatic is way too much.

There are lots of debate between the right and left that I respect. I am with the left on abortions but I respect the position from the right. I am with the right when it comes to making unions, but I understand the argument from the left.

But when it comes to guns, I take absolutely no exception. It is so obvious that facts stack up in one direction. It is almost culpable to us allowing people to die because of gun lobbies all around the world. In fact there are many countries in the world where having an illicit fire-arm is the act of attempted murder to some degree.

Look at countries that have strict gun measures. They are generally regarded as safer than countries that do not have guns. Such examples of countries are Singapore and Hong Kong which are much safer than most Western cities.

I really hope that this sends a loud message to the Americans and the Germans. It is time for their governments to “wake up” and face the gun problem head on. It would really make many people sleep safer the night guns are banned.
