Summer and other novelties

It could just be me, but there is something about smelling things in the air on a summery day that is, euphoric. I'll be the first to say that the traditional bouquets associated with summers chillier siblings are indeed enjoyable, but while standing at my new favorite burrito wagon, a smell greeted me that was as unexpected as it was pleasing. Maybe it was the long winter couped up smelling the creative olfactory experiences my two dogs could put together, but today's moment was one worth noting.

While enjoying the above mentioned delicious burrito, I came across a bit of news that was not surprising at all, but disturbing none the less. President Obama is looking to reinstate the weapons ban that President Clinton signed in to effect back in 1994. While deer hunting with a Bushmaster can rightly be called unnecessary, the spirit, nay, the reason for our second amendment is to provide the citizenry with a method of defense against a congress turned tyrant. It wasn't established by our founding fathers only to ensure our ability to hunt, or even defend against each other, but rather to defend against the very body sworn to uphold the laws of our land. I found it interesting that it was the one reason to own a firearm that President Obama forgot to include in his list.
...the rights of sportsmen and hunters and homeowners that want to keep their families safe -- to lawfully bear arms,...
-President Barack Obama


Interesting.
