Two recent events made national headlines. First and foremost, then tragic shooting that took place in Tuscon, Arizona on January 8th. Then shortly after, the remarks made my our own govenor of Maine, LePage. I agree with Jennifer's posting, we do have the right to bear arms and protect ourselves, but we do not have the right to just shoot any random person who comes along because we don't like what they have to say, or what they're doing. If that were a right, then everyone would be shooting everybody. Also, if this were a right it wouldn't be a very good example, as Jennifer also stated, because people who are trying to become citizens would see this and it wouldn't be setting a good example for our nation and I personally do not want our nation represented by a bunch of homicidal maniacs.
I can't really find anything that Jennifer left out in her post. She said it just like I would. I think people stretch our rights too far. LePage is a political figure, someone that citizens and residents look up to and he's just flaunting his words around using no proper behavior or language. He's acting childish by saying, "kiss my butt." People need to remember their rights and not stretch them beyond what they are.
