I think a lot of people miss the part that the guns are NOT LOADED. And maybe the fact that they are bringing the guns in to promote GUN SAFETY. That means that the only thing the kids are learning is how to be more careful around the guns that their parents obviously ALREADY HAVE.
There's no harm in this. And if you don't live in the US then you really just can't understand. There's a big difference in culture, without it seeming like a big difference. If your brought up your whole life with the word freedom in your ears, you see the word, and what it means much differently.
As far as the Republican or Democrat thing, neither party is that great. Neither one is even that good. The one exception I have seen is senator Ron Paul, who I got to see laughed off the stage by the press, illustrating just how much sway media has over our voting decisions. At least Senator Paul made sense, and didn't just schmooze his way out of question after question.
Republicans are laughable next to what they were in the past. Bush did not help things.
Democrats aren't really good at anything except spending money, and passing more babysitter laws, slowly taking away every right we have, even the right to do stupid things. It's not the fact that we shouldn't do certain things anyways, but that we can't do those things because someone says so. It's demeaning. The entire population is treated as incompetent because some of the population is. That's pandering to the weakest link. That's moronic.
The worst thing about democrats though is that they don't really care about all of the minorities that they try to schmooze. They just want the votes. Then things just don't work out when it comes to all this "change."
IMHO, and just that.
So happy debating to you all!
