Current Event Editorial #3

Question: Should D.C have the right to vote in congress? Well...apparently the government thinks so. The legislation to give D.C. a representative in congress has passed the Senate. However, there is a tag-along with this bill. Utah gets another congress person and D.C. will not be allowed to control its own gun situation. Do those really go together? I think not. The utah thing, sure, but the whole gun thing does not. Personally, I don't think that D.C. should get a congress member. I don't understand the reasoning. New York City is larger than D.C., yet they don't get a representative. If we give D.C. some voting righs, should we also give indian reservations voting rights in vongress too? It is a city. Sure its a district, but COME ON...its a district. There is reasoning in that last sentence. The NRA has threatened and flexed their muscles at the latter of the part of the bill. After I read that the NRA was saying something, I scoffed. I personally do not like the NRA. They are really an organization that bullies everyone around. They bullied Bart Stupak from Michigan and threatened to not allow him to get re-elected. Seriously...stop being stupid and put all your energy that you put into threatening, into something productive. Arts and crafts may be a better use of you energy. This issue makes me really mad. I just don't get some people's reasoning!

PEACE...
