Gun control does not mean outlawing guns

There has been a large tug-of-war around the concept of gun control in the United States. A lot of people desire stricter parameters for those who are purchasing weapons and the NRA does not want to change a thing, and in fact wants to reverse some things. Recently in Georgia, some new gun control laws went into play and instead of taking safety into mind, they went ahead and did away with a lot of important restrictions. Some of these new allowances include being able to take guns into bars without the owner's consent. The most important change is different than a new gun carry law however, it is the fact that gun owners are no longer required to receive finger prints for their license renewals. Not only is there no longer finger-printing but databases on license holder are no longer legal. Personally, I'm all for guns. I believe in the idea of self-defense and being able to defend myself, property, or family from any possible threats. But at the same note, I believe in restrictions on who can own guns and how easy they are to obtain. The last thing I need while I go to sleep at night is thinking about all the lunatics out there who can easily buy a gun. It is a paradoxical thing that I require a gun to protect myself from other people with that same gun. But I digress, I believe gun restrictions are necessary, we need more of them, and we need the NRA to stop strong arming the representatives we expect represent us. The NRA is almost beyond gun rights in their zealous war against restrictions and control on guns. 

Critique on Lauren's Blog "It Matters" on the post "Tolls and Rage"

I think this post is kind of a fun topic really, though not necessarily fun for the people that have to deal with toll roads. I've been all over the U.S in the places that I've lived in, but I haven't been in Texas for long. So far, I've been able to diagnose a few things about the toll roads here:

1. They're inconveniently placed (Either they're in a direction that nobody is going, or they funnel cars to such a degree that they create traffic).

2. They're not priced high enough (A whole dollar to go on the toll road? The problem with having such a low price is the fact that people are less likely to pay because there's no financial ramifications).

3. There aren't enough to justify the roads or a pass (I know of two toll roads, as I've only been here for a few months, the 183A and the 45. I have also heard of getting a pass which allows a person to travel the toll roads unlimited amount of times for x amount per month).

For these reasons, I agree with Lauren. The toll roads here are not executed in a logical, or fiscally responsible, way. It is possible to fix the situation by addressing any one, preferably all three, of my reasons. In this way the Austin toll road system may still be salvaged.
