"Americans can keep guns at home for self-defense, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday in the justices' first-ever pronouncement on the meaning of gun rights under the Second Amendment" First paragraph on Yahoo News.

Putting firearms in the hands of the people - we all know it happens, we all know with a permit its legal. Its a hard issue, think about it. If a man walks in your home and attacks your children and is attempting to strangle them and you have a firearm what would you do? Naturally protect your children.

The idea scares me - we'll see what happens with this soon. Will there be more accidental deaths, more lives saved from crime and atatcks - who knows. I'm glad I am not the one making final decisions on these things because the outcome could be really bad.

tell us how you feel about this.

Mexico goes to war

A familiar site if you've been to Mexico recently. We use to take random trips across the border for tacos and beer but the last few times we've crossed the border large army trucks with dozens of armed men sit in the back of the truck. Not a site a tourist wants to see.

President Felipe Calderon has decided to start a war against drugs in Mexico. I hope that those men in uniform with guns are fighting for the right side, with all the corruption in Mexico's government no one knows. I hope Calderon's war will help stop the huge drug issue in Mexico so it's people can enjoy some peace. Check out the LA Times for more info.
