(27) I don't know anything about guns, Now let me tell you about them

I have so much to do this weekend, study wise. Econ test on Monday, Econ midterm on Wednesday. inDesign project due Tuesday, moon observations due Friday.
School is kicking my butt this semester, especially econ and astro!
If I don't pass those classes i don't know what I'm going to do. I guess I just gotta keep working hard and always keep a positive attitude!

Now let me tell you what I think about guns.
I think that some people become obsessive about their firearms, and the fact alone that they have the power of a weapon seems to fuel thier consistent fear that something terrible is soon coming to them, and that their gun is thier only tool for self-defense and survival. That they need it, that it needs to be there with the the moment they enter or leave their home. That the world is just too dangerous.
On the other hand, it is an excellent to tool to defend yourself if some vicious beast of a human being attacks you.
My dad loves his guns. No, he's not a redneck with a pick-up truck, though he does drive a semi-truck for a living and has a badass Harley. He's a super clean man, awesome man, with a nice townhouse and a friendly cat, Toby. Toby is also neat and tidy.
He took me to the shooting range over winter break and it was pretty cool if I do say so myself. Later he posted a status about it on facebook telling everyone he took is lovely lil' daughter to go shoot some guns, and then some man named Howard posted a response in complete shock; "Do you really think its a good idea to start arming the women!!!??"
My dad basically said "Of course! Everyone should be armed!! There'd be less crime" blabbity blah gun-rants~

I naturally agreed that sure, everyone could-but not necessarily should be armed, but Mr. Howard made my feminsist-infested senses go berserk. If anyone should be armed, I think it ought to be women!
I could've slammed Mr.Howard with all types of statics and the good-stuff, but because I didn't want to start a battle that'd I'd definitely win on my dear old papa's friendly facebook page, it just told him "I'M OFFENDED, MR. HOWARD" and left it at that. his response was "Well, I'm just sayin...."
Boooooo you Howard man.

Anyway, let me tell you about teen pregnancy.
OMG EVERYONE'S HAVING BABIES. WELFARE FOR EVERYONE!

And that's pretty much it.
