My three C4K's that I had for the month of March were Lottie from Mr. Huebe 6th grade class in Adelaide Australia, Joe B. from Mrs. Lentine's class, and Brittany Lee from Mr. Boylen's class. I enjoyed reading all their post and commenting on them.
Lotties post that I commented on I could not find nor the summary I wrote about her post that I commented on.
My second C4K was Joe B. from Mrs. Lentine's class
Joe B's Post:
Right now the government is discussing about more gun laws because of the incidents in the past year.From the second amendment of the U.S constitution to issues around people who are mentally ill, I think they shouldn’t pass any more gun control laws. Our current gun control laws are fine.
First, gun laws should not be put in place is because its not consistent with the U.S constitution. The second amendment of the U.S constitution says: “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.” It is an important right because self defense of the country is important. For example, if another country or terrorist group invade America the people would need weapons to defend themselves and their country.
A second reason is that people could lose their jobs and their business because companies that make firearms (assault weapons and semi auto weapons) would be shut down and the people working at them would lose their jobs. The unemployment rate in America is 7.7% and if they pass more gun laws it might go up a little.
My last reason is that we shouldn’t blame weapons we should blame the killer because most of the incidents with firearms the killer was mentally ill for example, the incident in Sandy Hook Elementary the killer was mentally ill as was the man at the Colorado movie theater the Dark Knight movie. People should have better background checks before buying a gun.
In conclusion I think more gun restrictions should not be put in place but they shouldn’t give weapons to mentally ill. We also need to have a better background check before buying a weapon, and the gun laws we have in place now are perfectly fine.

Hey Joe my name is Chelsea Hadley and I go to the University of South Alabama. I think you explained the second amendment and your opinion very well! I totally agree with you and everything you said! We should not take away the gun control due to what happened with these shootings in the past year like you said it is not the gun it is the ill people doing it and we should blame them! Great and interesting post! I enjoyed reading your blog. Keep up the great work!!
