On April 5, 2011, the "One for all and all for Texas" blog posted up an article titled "Danger, Danger" by lupita89, also known as Sandra Rangel. The blog talks about how Texas lawmakers are considering passing a law allowing people to carry a concealed handgun inside school, bars, and churches. It talks about how it seems that lawmakers are only looking out for themselves since they use what happened to Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford as a scare tactic. Rangel also talks about how bill is shocking since it even considers allowing people to take a firearm to church, which is a very sacred place to many people.
Rangel's intended audience are all of the people in Texas since everybody will be affected if this law is passed. She seems very credible since she states what the requirements will be to carry a concealed weapon and even goes into detail about how these requirements are flawed. She makes a claim about how it seems that the author is not thinking about your every day people since the article does not mention how a citizen will be protected with this new bill or about any restrictions this bill will have.
I agree with Ms. Rangel's arguments since I think this bill would end up doing more damage than good. Considering this bill will allow people to carry a handgun into a bar, where people often drink pass their limit, worries me greatly. A place of worship should never be compromised with a weapon so it honestly disgusts me that it might be legal in the future. I think the lawmakers should really think long and hard about the negative outcomes this bill will have if passed.
