3d Printers and gun manufacturing

Gun laws are a major controversy in America especially after  events like sand hook , the navy yard shooting and columbine. while guns have many Americans wondering what can be done gun makers and gun smiths make a lot of money off the fire arm and defense industry. but lately gun manufactures are rising concerns over the  value of  3d printing of firearms a technology which is currently being tested out and successfully tried. the method means a big head ache for ATF who may be soon cracking down on the manufacture of 3d printed firearms. currently AR-15  lower receivers have been made using CAD design and 3d printers. this could potentially make the manufacturer of fire arms at home a realistic and affordable solution to spending money on buying a expensive premade fire arm. while the guns may be subject to currant ATF laws it will certainly be harder to stop and or control home printed  lower receivers and weapons.

arizona passes controversial law

a new law passed for Arizona would allow some business owners to ban gay and lesbians from entering there business if the store owners religious beliefs are against same sex couples the new law has gained some controversy due to the fact that it would discriminate against a large number of people and possibly be a target for civil rights discussion and open up the state and business to legal trouble.  the law has already been  scorned by many civil rights and civil liberty groups who call the bill  unjust and discriminating.  if the constitution is supposed to give Americans protection from discrimination and injustice its something that they are passing laws that take away peoples rights.

Pot leagalized in colorado

A new law passed in Colorado has allowed for the sale and use of marijuana distributed by licensed dispensaries  hundreds of people formed long lines outside of the dispensaries waiting for there chance to legally purchase Cannabis products. most people are in favor of  the legalization but of course there are also some that are opposed several people waiting in line reported people driving by shouting comments about the people standing in line being drug addicts or similar remarks. most people agree that the use of marijuana is no worse than people who regularly drink Alcohol. in my opinion marijuana is far less dangerous than heavy drinking or doing other drugs or medications. marijuana can also be noted for having various medical uses and purposes as well such as treating PTSD anxiety and various other medical conditions. also I think that if marijuana was legalized across the board in America one could tax the sale and raise a large economy based of the  marijuana trade and sale furthermore I believe that violence would go down do to the effects of the drug having a calming and non violent effect on the user.  more so it is more often heard of people crashing cars hurting them self's or something of the similar using alcohol than marijuana. I guess also if I had to choose id rather have to deal with some one who uses marijuana than some other lethal drug or alcohol. meth crack and all of the serious drugs have really serious side effects marijuana has some but mainly it just makes you hungry and want to hug people not all that bad compared to the side effects of most new illicit street drugs. I guess if it came down to it im all for the reasonable and responsible use of marijuana

in maryland two 6 year old boys were suspended from there school for making a gun gesture durring a game of cops and robers. school authorities say the two students were playing around when one student turned to the other student when they were playing and said im gonna shoot you or something to that effect. this sent the school into a panic and made the school administrators suspend the two. the students parrents are a little less than happy stateing the school is wrong and not correct in suspending the students because after all it was just a game. others may aruge that it could be a threat and a counsler stated 'children of that age do not have the capacity to understand why that might be a sensitive gesture that may scare people." it dosent appear that the boys will face any more disciplinary actions for the gesture but it dose leave manny wondering what  road were going down. of course with the recent shootings at sandhook and the navy yard in washington the nation is sortof  hyper vigilant when it comes to weapons in educational campuses. i remember a time when every one felt safe at school and you could  pretend shoot at your buddy while playing around with out so much as a glace from the teacher. now you do something like that and you wind up suspending expelled or in jail talking to a bunch of counslers. even talking to people who grew up in the 50's they remember when they used to bring shot guns to school and even the prinicipal had a shotgun in his car. now you do something like that and you get the FBI ATF and a task force of agencies investigating it not to mention "counsling" for trumitized teachers and students. America its time to ask our selves what road were going down and do we really want to go down the road of paranoia and hyper vigilance.
