Gun Control

In the last several months this has been a topic that is as heated as it can get. I really do see both sides and can honestly say that there are good points both ways. But one thing I have to say is that what ever side you fall on you must admit that yor si is full of lying douche bags that will lie their ass off to get what they want. I am a conservative and can admit that I see them everyday in my party. The head of the NRA is the biggest of them all for example. But last night while I was watching Rachel Maddow I was just plain dumbfounded at how she will distort and lie to make her point. Then when you couple her with the male Rachel Maddow ( Chris the doucher Hayes) you get the equal of  LaPierre from the NRA.  I mean do any of the idiots really know what the truth is? First of all , there is absolutely zero documentation that limiting ammo or clip size will save one life. On the other hand to say that every single person that buys a gun of any kind should not have to submit to a background check is just as ludicrous. Mentally ill people and criminals will still kill just as many people as they do now no matter what kind of controls you try to on guns. By limiting the access law abiding citizens have to guns you are actually making it easier to kill for the mentaly ill and criminal element.   And by refusing to make background checks mandatory you are just making it look like you have something to hide, period!!!! Here is my suggestion , if you have a gun that is not registered and you have not submitted to the background check you go to jail. If yo have done so you should be able to own whatever gun you want with a safety course every 3 years and maditory range time to stay current. Mentaly ill and criminals should be put in homes or jail for possessing or attempting to possess any type of weapon.

I haven't written in a very long time , I usually write to get anger out. Today I want to write about something that I have been avoiding for too long. Religion . I grew up in a wonderful church , well actually two of them. As a by young child my family attended Garland Road Church of Christ and in my young adult life we attended Lake Highlands Church of  Christ. I all I have fantastic memories of both churches and really don't think there were any two churches that would have been better places to learn. As I grew up I strayed from the church and my life as a result became very hard to manage and soon become impossible to control at all. My point in saying this is that whether you believe or not the environment of church when you are in a good one, is a good nurturing one. That environment promotes a loving caring life and puts you on a good path, one I try to live today. Now are all churches that way ? No , they aren't and it is a shame that what I call "fake churches" are allowed to even exist at all. I have been to several of them and believe that going to those churches was in a small way responsible for my straying from the path I had always been taught.  I guess that is why it puzzles me so when I hear the vitriol and hatred spewed around the world about having God in schools or at least having a theme of religion in schools even if it is a non denominational one. What is so wrong with God? What is it that makes people so angry about people wanting to pray to him? 95% of the world believes in God but the 5% that don't get to make the rules because it isn't fair. I truly believe that this is a major reason that this country is in a downward spiral right now, not that we don't all pray but that we teach our children to whine and cry to get their way every time they don't like the outcome. If 1000 people are in a room and 950 want to pray should they not because 50 don't? Or should they say we are going to pray and you can choose not to? Why is it always the minority that gets to push their views on the rest of us and not the other way around. A democracy is set up for the majority to vote on what they want and everyone to go by the rights of the many not the feelings of the few. I for one am tired of watching the rights of the many occupied by the feeling of the few. I want my kids to have what I did not be forced into not having it because someone got their feelings hurt or felt uncomfortable because they were in the minority.
