It's been since March since I've been pushing bills around and pulling all of the money out of savings to just keep up with the previous months bills. I had always had the current months bill payed off by the end of the month, but that had always left the next month bill already due because the month had just started. So I finally have the months bills payed before the month started. So I'm technically double paying the internet bill and paying the car insurance at the beginning of the month and again at the end of the month so it looks like the car insurance and internet bill are double the regular amount, but all of the bills are payed for November and the...

Left Vs Right Gun Fallacies

I don't know of a solution. Or even if there IS a solution. But in my own opinion maybe looking to Washington for solutions might be looking in the wrong direction.

One half of the debate wants to blame guns. "Just ban all guns, if we get rid of all of every single gun and then nobody will ever get shot"

The problem with this argument (apart from the massive numbers of guns out there) is that the second amendment of the constitution allows for the ownership of guns. They can not legally make a law banning everyone from owning guns. I guess "in theory" this "could" change. But they couldn't even do their jobs enough to keep the government from shutting down TWICE this year. Getting enough political clout to change the BILL OF RIGHTS isn't going to happen.

The other half of the debate wants to make it a mental health issue. They claim, "It's just a crazy person with a gun"

the problem with this side is that if there wasn't a mass shooting recently they would go out of their way to discredit mental health issues. They are constantly cutting funding and access to mental help. There was actually a law keeping people with histories of mental health from buying weapons. The law was repealed. It is kind of hard to take them seriously when they claim that they want to keep people with mental issues from shooting other people when they repeal laws about keeping mentally disturbed people from having guns.
