I'm Trying To Help President Obama:  I'd Rather Have Cameras Than Guns

Have you ever noticed the really cool thing about President Obama?

He has the ability to talk directly to the people...I always feel like he is talking right to me.  I feel like he actually cares about all of the people; people like me.

I want to try and help President Obama and all of the citizens of the United States.

The cool thing about the United States is that we can say what we think...I just love that.

Recently, on a wonderful vacation in London I noticed I did not hear about one thing involving guns.  I heard about fighting at bars and I heard more than once about drink driving but not once did I ever hear about any shootings.

I listened to the news often while I was in my hotel room.  I listened to news from channels around the world.

Here in San Diego I have the radio on in the morning.  Almost every morning when I wake up I hear about a shooting; often they are right near the area where I live in South Park.

The shootings often involve young people and sometimes even teenagers.

Some people here say they do not want cameras.  In London there are plenty of cameras but not shootings.  It is said an individual can be followed on camera throughout the entire city of London.

London is a beautiful, giant, modern, world leading and at the same time historical city.  It is just about my favorite vaction place.

If they do not have guns why do we have to have guns?  It obviously isn't necessary to have a great city.

Let's rethink this and move forward............President Obama was very inspirational in his speech today about Congress not passing an amendment for further background checks on guns.  I like the London model....few children are injured there in gun violence......can we just work in that direction here in the US?

Chloelouise's London Update:  If They Do Not Need Guns In London Why Do We Need Them Here?

I just spent a week in London and listened to the news constantly.  I did not hear about one single shooting--they did report on bar fighting and drink driving, but nothing involving guns.

Listening to the radio news here in San Diego there is a fatal shooting reported almost every morning.

I just don't get this gun thing--why do we need guns here if they do not need them in London?

Gun Facts: Is the UK Real or a Disney Fairy Tale

I think part of the problem is that there is a certain group of the American public that wants to keep us, the United States, as if we are still the wild, wild west.  I f you follow Piers Morgan at all, the gun people will not even listen when he tries to talk about gun facts in the UK.

My OR co-workers from the UK stated they simply did not have gun shot wounds there in their ER.  At the time we had a 15 year old with a gun shot wound.  The trouble is when Piers says "UK" I feel like people think that may be talking about a UFO or another planet.

If you listen to the right wingers not only do they think America is a great country but they think it is the only country and when anyone says anything about Europe they act like its just silly info.

One talk show host here in San Diego said if he ever went to England he is going to go there and spend American dollars.  I guess he had not heard of the pound or the Swiss Franc or the Euro.  He said American money is what everyone wants and that will trade anywhere.  Just this morning another conservative host was giggling about facts from the Daily Mail about less violence in Europe.

It seems like they simply refuse to believe the truth.  I don't think they think Europe is real.  They act as if it is a Disney fairy tale.
