Just various thoughts

I really can't think of one particular subject to write about this evening. But I really want to get into the habit of writing most days of the week, so I am just going to throw some thoughts out and see were I go.

Even though it appears that my attempt to kind of bring someone new into my life did not work I do not regret what I did. Sometimes in life you have to take chances and even though you fail you should be happy you took a chance.

And now for a completely different train of thought... I have no real problems with people who own guns. I don't agree with them but to each his/her own. Personally, I think hope those own guns are asking for trouble; I equate it with walking  in the  hood late at night, nothing good can come of it.

But I don't get why there are people who don't  any gun control at all. I understand not wanting to outlaw rifles and pistols. But is there any legitimate reason for someone to have uzi's, and AK-47?  I highly doubt it.

I don't remember when it was but sometime in the last week I saw part of an interview on CNN  that I think was with the president of the NRA (sorry I didn't catch the name). He was asked if the government should make it harder for the mentally ill to purchase guns. I don't know why it surprised me when he said no. He also said that the government had no right to make laws against anyone owning guns. Really? And here I was thinking that the government had the right to make laws to help ensure our safety.

I wonder if most members of the NRA are OK with mentally disturbed people having guns. If so maybe their the ones who shouldn't have the guns.

I will probably have more random thoughts tomorrow ....
