I think its important that everybody understands the importance of this recent gun debate. As a strong supporter of the Constitution, I believe it is very important to keep the Bill of Rights as they were meant to be. That includes the right for the people of this country to keep and bear arms. Recently we saw  the people of this country do a good job in defending those rights in most cases,  we saw the failure of Obama's gun control bill in the senate in recent weeks, which was the greatest thing the senate has done in many months. Now we should continue to look forward and fixing the problems that led to these recent tragedies. One thing we know, through statistics is that more guns in the hands of good people always results in less crime, we must fight for the abolishment of gun free school zones and make it easier for teachers to be trained and carry a gun if they want to. We must also continue to educate the public on the responsible and safe use of firearms. Another thing is the public's mindset needs to change on firearms, the amount of fear people have against them astonishes me. It is up to us to show responsible practices carrying, handling and shooting these tools of defense. We must not forget to support our lawmakers in coming up with 2nd amendment friendly ways in solving some of our problems, urge them to follow states like Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Montana and not states like Illinois, Colorado and New York. So lets stop immediately jumping to the defense of the 2nd amendment when it should be the solution.    

 
This week we were hit once again by radical Islamist's, we saw regular citizens step up and put themselves in harms way to help others in need, law enforcement working overtime until the terrorists had been brought to justice. There is much that still needs to be determined, who was all behind it, where did the money come from and what was the reasoning behind the young terrorists actions? Through all of that we still got to see what makes America great, seeing people stand together to bring these men to justice. We can talk about how the media talked and hoped for days that the terrorists were right winged Americans, but I would rather look at all the good and not the bad.

We can see that no matter what party you belong to, or how much the white house is using an emotional tragedy like the new town shooting to push their gun control bills, the US Senate still stood up and up held the 2nd amendment of our constitution in a vote this week by a 60% majority. That is something we should all be proud of. So as we continue  to mourn for the lost this past week, you can still find good things happening.  Just remember this is America and we will stand strong together. 
 
Hello all, I only have a few minutes but i wanted to go over the gun control debate. I heard today that the filibuster failed in the senate. It disturbs me to hear so-called republicans say it deserves to be debated on the floor. I disagree and here's why, first off, what part of "shall not be infringed" do our elected officials not understand? secondly they say all the bill does is expand background checks for gun shows and online sales. All of that is already law, they must have other legislation tucked in there that no one is talking about, maybe a federal database? Third, whenever a bill is on the floor all it takes is a few back room deals and added pork spending to get the votes they need. We also can't forget how bad they are on voting for bills they haven't even read read yet. 

So please, wherever you are call your senator's and tell them to vote no on any gun control bills. Its been proven that all gun laws accomplish is just making it harder for legal gun owners to purchase firearms and does not have an effect on crime anyway.        
 
Everyday I spend most of my time running my business and taking care of my family. As I continue to hear all the problems our states and country faces, I get more and more fed up with our political leaders. One of the most resent crisis I find disturbing is our country’s financial situation. Tax day is right around the corner and many of you do not understand how much federal taxes effect you. You may here how much big business gets taxed and you may not find a problem with it. I would like to explain my point of view on this subject. Federal taxes are around 5-10 times the amount of state taxes. I don't believe the federal government has the right to tax that much of ones income, especially when the whitehouse uses the money they take from you to bribe your own state in enacting or passing legislation they want in law. There is so much waste in all the government programs it makes me sick. If we gave the states the means in running their own programs there would be much less waste and put an end to all the state entitlements and bribing done by the federal government. I am a big supporter of senator Rand Paul and his budget, but you'll never see that go into law as long as we have so many big government money hungry politicians in office. To think we are $17,000,000,000,000 in debt and the president spent weeks complaining about $85,000,000,000, in less spending this year. We'll still manage to add $1,200,000,000,000 to the debt by the end of the year. To put it in terms you can understand, its like saying you're $170,000 in debt you make $21,000 a year and you spend $40,000 a year wouldn't you have to find a way to fix that situation instead of asking the bank to keep raising your debt limit every year? It doesn't take a genius to see the problem this country faces, so lets all stand up and demand the government make the cuts necessary to get this financial crisis under control.
