Hello, my name is Luciano, but you can call me "Duke."
I took up this class, English 112, on very short notice. Literally the day of class is when I signed up. A few hours later I walked into class and realized this class is going to be fast paced. Professor Meehan cut straight to the point and laid out his expectations. When he informed us that we would be blogging each week on a topic that we found interesting, I was interested to see if the topic I had in mind would be acceptable. As you may remember, I was the first one to suggest a topic when our professor asked for ideas. That topic was the Second Amendment... Yeah, I'm that guy! Now you remember... As you know, our professor laid out a simple outline on the whiteboard as an example. This helped me see a good strategy on how to approach this topic, and decided to stick to this idea.
This semester I will be blogging about the Second Amendment (2A) and the issues surrounding it. It can be considered one of the most serious topics in the news today. Opinions in support of and against the 2A are controversial and have seemed to stir up a lot of emotions and arguments around the country lately. With recent incidents involving mass shooting in public areas and in incidents involving children, the topic of the 2A is a very sensitive issue as well. I, myself, am partial to the support of the 2A... but for the sake of research and understanding of both sides of the spectrum, I will try to exclude any bias opinion I have in support of or against any opinion. The best I can do is try, and the worst I can do is lie. So I will do my best to present facts surrounding my opinions and I hope you will enjoy my blog.
Happy Blogging!
Respectfully,
"Duke"
This is a very interesting subject Luciano. It is very relevant especially with the most recent shooting at Fort Hood. I am not too sure weather I am for it or against it. I guess I am in the middle because up to a certain point you should be able to carry and handle a gun depending on the situation. However there is also the cons of carrying a weapon and accidents happening or someone doing something bad. So it is definitely an interesting blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I will do my best to try to bring forth the facts. I too, am on the fence on certain issues involving this subject. I am discovering a few more facts and opinions that are supporting and swaying my decisions at the moment, but none the less I will provide research that will hopefully give everyone a better understanding.
