Young Minds and Itchy Trigger Fingers

The inquisitive minds of my classmates, speaking freely, showing real intrest, and emotion to their works, but with that being said there is a fine line between passion and genrally complaining. Looking over Jordan's post I have a few notes, a little praise with a side my own opinion, and thoughts. Let me start by syaing that I in generall agree with your post, placing a Fire Arm, Gun, or any other weapon in the hands of people who are experiencing great deals of anxiety, depression, stress, and a world of other proples unique to those of my colleges. In this we are in total agreement. Next we look at your post and as well writen as it is or is not,  you lack a realistic solution. Guns are gong no where in the great lone star state, but maybe we need to take a different approach to guns in general. A solution that will help would be gun safty being taught in schools and as crazy as that it is, this is texas, gun culture rules in the same way oil does. We need to educate Texans on gun saftly, what do in case of a dangerous sistution, gun maintance, backround checks, and making sure that all student intrested in keeping a gun on their person must have a concealed hand gun license. I am not saying this will stop mass shooting, but we need to stop be so scared of the reality we now face. We must be willing to experment, with that in mind we will fail, but succeed, and we will also grow as a state.

Texas, Trump, and Money

OK! In this weeks mandated blogg asst I read about the up coming challanges that law makers will be facing this up coming year written by Ross Ramsey. The Texas House and Senate gather for 140 days every odd numbered year, well with this in mind texas will be meeting starting in January, about two to three weeks prior to Donald Trump taking office on the 20th of Janurary. What does this mean for our law makers? Glad you asked. It simplay means Texas will have to begin making and signing laws with full out knowledge of the Federal Goverments involvment and what laws and policies will affect Texas. Now in this artical it tackles two events, the first being Border Security and the second being Health Care. In short Texas is spending 800 MILLION DOLLARS on Border Security and thats not going to change (Sorry, Daisy), unless Trumps adminstration changes that to a federal issue and takes the burden off of Texas. Next it goes into health care and what that means for Texans on the Affordable Health Care Act and Medicade, in short if you use either of those two systems be ready to start looking for a second job, Texas law makers have made it very clear they will fight the Affordable Health Care Act at all cost and as for Medicade they want a Block Grant from the federal Governemnt. In short our brave men and women who will be making laws here very soon will be doing so with a blind fold on as far as federal Funding goes.
