Well I've decided to blog it up

Well I've decided to take the commitment. A weekly blog brought every friday by Scott Nash himself. I haven't exactly picked out what this blog will be about.

I'm considering the following: politics, music, film, things that bug me.

And now I must start my first order of business.
President Barack Obama. The media loves him. The people love him.
Is he America's savior?

I recently read an interesting article on abc news.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=6960824&page=1

Our president apparently is looking into banning several different kinds of assault guns. I'll be honest, I don't own a gun and probably never will. I still like having the thought I can own a huge freaking gun though. Would this ban really fix anything though? Probably not. I guess the only good thing it'll do is prevent stupid people from buying a weapon like these. The reality though is that if someone really wants a weapon like this after a ban, they will be able to find it. A ban such as this is just going to create a black market for them. So far I'm only seeing how this is being bad...Not to mention the thousands of dollars we'll waste putting this into enactment.
