I read Voting: A step back, it was about the methods of voting. Paper has been the most accurate and has been used for a long time. It has been used for a long time because we know it works. It has a disadvantage though. It is slow for the voter and even slower when counting the votes. This article said the faster way is not as accurate, which is electronic. Voting machines are much fast and more convenient. What got my attention is it mentioned using tablets instead. I thought that was perfect for voting. Tablets are small and easy to ship to voting locations. They are cheeper than laptops or voting machines. They are very popular in modern society. Most people know how to use them and they have built in accommodations for people with disability's. Thats lots of reasons why we should use tablets for voting. With technology getting more and more advanced tablets will advance as well. They are becoming more easy to use and have less handling problems. Also with the big saving the environment thing going on it will help save trees form using less paper. All in all using tablets for voting is a great idea.          

Gun restrictions

So I see a lot of people talk about the terrible shootings that happen. People get mad that these people can go buy semi-auto weapons and use them for violence. Some people want semi-auto weapons should be banned from the U.S. or have lots of restrictions on them. They say that these guys are evil and should go away. What people don't understand is it's not the gun it's the shooter behind it. Guns are not the problem and the government shouldn't put anymore restrictions on buy guns. It's hard enough to get a semi-auto gun already. Where I come from these types of firearms are part of our life style. If we need to help control this then the government should put more restrictions on people that have mental issues. We should do more testing or something to see if it's save for them to live on their own or have firearms. It's not hard for someone to get their hands on a semi-auto firearm. Something should be done and it's not the firearms. It's the people who pull the trigger that need the restrictions.
