To summarize what our group though the week is that, the Tuscon shooting is a very big tragedy and that LePage comment was “childish”. It was said by Jennifer that “As a citizen in the legal sense, the Bill of Rights say that we have the right to bear arms and protect ourselves. However, in the moral sense we have a duty to not go shooting people just because we feel like it or don't like someone. If we see our own citizens going around shooting each other, this sets a bad example on all our other citizens in the United States.” I agree that this is setting a bad example. It would not be good for this generation of children to think that going around shooting people would be okay. As a citizen I feel that we should respect the rights that we have. With the comment of LePage, Jess says that it is “tearing people apart” I also think that it is. There are always going to be two sides to a story and not everyone is going to agree. This is where Maine could be “split apart, rather then working together” as pelletierh says.
