Second Amendment - My Two Cents

 Here is the short second amendment:

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,

the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

A WELL REGULATED MILITIA for OUR Nations Security;

with the RIGHT of those people to keep and bear arms

shall not be infringed.

It has nothing to do with mass shootings,

nor civilians owning military assault weapons.

As a firearms owner myself,

I feel that anyone that owns a firearm should be will vetted

and they should be held to a higher standard.

Like the military is well regulated,

those who own firearms should be well regulated.

Let us:

1. Close the loopholes at gun shows

2. Make it harder for criminals to obtain firearms,

by banning online gun kits

3. Have a buy back program for assault weapons

AND

4. Expand background checks and vetting

Only then can we go forward like with Germany, Sweden,

and New Zealand for example; and put a stop to mass shootings.

That is "My Two Cents" Second Amendment Edition.

Earth Day 2021

 Presidents who did things for the Earth:

Abraham Lincoln - Protected Lands Act,

Theodore Roosevelt - National Park Service,

Nixon - EPA,

Woodrow Wilson - Organic Act,

FDR - Civilian Conservation Corps,

Jimmy Carter - Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act,

Habitat for Humanity, and Department of Energy.

Clinton -

Clinton's accomplishments are vast

especially with the environment.

He was an advocate for the earth.

Truly one of the greatest environmental presidents.

He set sanctions on emission standards,

set the toughest standards on soot and fog,

enacted the Clean Air and Water Act,

the Safe Drinking Water Act,

restored the pristine view of our National Parks,

accelerated Clean Up of Toxic Waste,

created the Global Climate Change Initiative,

and proposed to have 25 percent of our energy alternate by 2010.

Obama -

As an Environmentalist and a member of 350.org

I like the fact that President Obama enacted environmental reform,

signed the Paris Agreement,

and carried on the environmental programs of President Clinton

in building more wind turbines, solar power,

and other alternate energy plants;

he stopped the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline,

he raised the regulations and standards

for greenhouse gas emissions,

and he signed the Green Energy Act.

Now Biden will be the third best president for the earth

as he carries on the programs of Clinton and Obama,

gets us back into the Paris accord, creates green new jobs,

enacts parts of AOC's Green New Deal,

and cuts our emissions in half by 2030.
