“God is a Bullet, Have Mercy on us Everyone” Right On!!!

I really enjoyed the editorial published by Rachel M Edwards,  “God is a Bullet, Have Mercy on us Everyone.” She believes owning a gun “is not a “right”, it is a responsibility,” and I couldn’t agree any less.  I think she did a good job by pointing out her own connection to the subject of guns, but still making a great judgment call of many people being ignorant of the actual responsibility to own a gun. It is good that she compared it to video games because there are so many scenarios where people are trying to imitate what they play on video games. Kids are also playing these very intense games that are no big deal or fun to them on screen, so that is the way they think it is in reality. She had good structure in her writing with the first couple of paragraphs explaining what a firearm is to her on a personal level and then she goes on to make her stance on the subject and its relevance to our nation. Then she has facts and details to back up her opinions and at the end summarizes her opinion once again and why guns should be monitored more. I would say maybe a little more  facts on some other issues of gun laws and a little less opinion. It is a writing of your opinion on a topic, but the more you are able to back up your idea the more your opinion is valued. Overall great layout and reasoned opinions!
