President Obama's Inaugural Address Analysis
So I found this video on YouTube that connects perfectly to what we were speaking about Monday in class, President Obama's inaugural address. The speakers connect directly with what Kayla stated in class, about the President's value to equality in our country. It is pretty short but it is very interesting because it is like literally what we talked about (gun violence, equality, etc.)

What do you guys think President Obama did in his address? What do you all think of this video?
My opinion on video = I actually agree almost completely with the people speaking, I do think that after all of the horrible events like the shooting in Newtown, Obama has planed to make a change in our country to not just unite us all but protect our schools and public places from shootings.
My opinion on gun control = I do not think taking away guns from the public will make anything better. Do people really believe that prohibiting guns will stop killings? I believe that the police should do a better job in securing our streets, its the people that kill. And if we actually take the time to think, we can see that the killers in that majority of the massacres that have occurred had mental problems, so why doesn't the government keep an eye out for people that have psychological problems? (this is my opinion) I think we should be able to have a few guns at home, I think we should at least have that right. If we do take away guns, what happens when someone intrudes into our houses? Do we just scream and let them kill us because we have no weapons? Or do we defend ourselves with a fire arm? I am not stating that it is fine to kill someone, but if someone gets into your house you have the right to shoot them, if you feel like you are in danger. But if a person shoots an intruder in the back it is automatically murder because the person was leaving and there is no proof that you were in danger. Anyways, I think we should not prohibit fire arms from our country, if a city wants to, it's fine; but the entire country?! I don't think so.
