concealed handgun on campus


I don’t agree with this bill. I don’t think everybody is going to actually keep their gun put up, some will be showing them off, there’s also a question like what if the person with the handgun get pissed off byk another person and pulls out his gun and threatens the person. People can get hurt and I don’t think guns should even be allowed on any school campus. The solution to safer schools is more security at schools and colleges. We should not let the students carry them.. now teachers I would except because there more mature and will have more control with their weapon. Another thing would be if the student got a bad grade then the student with the handgun could get angry and take it out on the teacher. I think the government should think about this more before they make a decision on this bill. But in my opinion I would vote no.

Give Texas homeowners more time..

I found an editorial in the Austin American statesman talking about a bill that would extend the 20 day policy before foreclosure to 45 days. Our 20 day policy is one of the shortest in the United States. This is definitely unacceptable. The bill will also have a list for homeowners in how to keep their house from foreclosing.

I do strongly agree that we need stronger laws to protect homeowners. I also think the banks should give more breaks for people who have lost their jobs. Maybe just letting them pay partial instead all. Just for a month or so to let them get a new job or save up some money. I also agree that this bill will pass easily because of all the families that are struggling with their mortgage and especially with the economy doing so poorly. I also think that with all these loans failings are the banks fault for letting people get loans that they knew they wouldn’t be able to afford, which I think is wrong. I also think the government should be helping the people more than helping these big banks.

The authors intended audience is towards the homeowners of Texas. He talks about this story really good all his evidence is there and he is explains the bill in good detail.
