Baxter's Buzz
It has been quite some time since I've posted a blog. I felt compelled to ask a few questions aloud (well, at least on paper..). The tragedy in Connecticut on Friday shook me and those around me differently than any recent tragedy that I can remember. Many of my coworkers have children, and with the number of nieces, nephews and young cousins that I have, the cowardly action from Friday made me feel extremely vulnerable. As human beings, we feel an obligation to protect the innocent: Women, children and the elderly. This story is a reminder of not only the issues that we have, but the differences as well.
Whenever there's a violent act that captures the nation's attention, the battle between pro-gun people and anti-gun people grows stronger. I honestly don't feel strongly one way or the other. I believe that guns are definitely a problem, but they don't shoot themselves. I feel like guns is only truly one part of this problem, but I don't necessarily feel that they are the main problem.
