Summary

My group had many good points this week. Morgan brought up an excellent point when she was talking about the recent shooting. She said that if the government were to try and increase the laws making it tougher for people to get guns, the public would be mad and it would infringe their rights protected by the second amendment. Katie built off Morgan’s point by saying that the government should not restrict the rules of guns but make it tougher for irresponsible people to get them as to avoid any other tragic shootings. She also linked us to two sites, one was to a site about Columbine and the other was to one on Virginia Tech. Colleen’s opinion about the gun situation is that we should make it so that only the military and other armed forces can have access to them.

Lepage’s recent outburst was agreed upon by my group as a badly handled response. They felt like he could have declined going to the prison, by simply saying “No thanks” or something along those lines. By telling them to “kiss his butt” he actually made himself look racist, like he didn’t care about their conditions, he was not acting like good citizen and he was morally wrong. Everyone in my group agreed that he needs to behave like a professional because people look up to him and he is supposed to be a model citizen. Outbursts like that are not professional or one a model citizen would make.
