And YOU get a gun! And YOU get a gun!!

Alright, so since it's been almost a year since I had posted on this blog I figured I would start it out again with a bang. No literally. 

Yesterday, January 31st, the Argus Leader posted an easy, legislative story about a proposed gun law. If you're following the same people I'm following on Twitter or another motley band of South Dakota Twitter folk, then your timeline probably exploded just like mine did.

And YOU get a gun! And YOU get a gun!!

Sorry, my Oprah impression isn't what it used to be...

The first people I saw were complaining about what an outrage this is and how they are never going to own a gun! Sadly, all of those people were missing the punch line. This bill has absolutely nothing to do with gun laws. Those people still don't get it...

Then there were the people crying about how much money and time SD's Congress is wasting with discussion of HB 1237. Those people may actually have a valid point. It is costing money to propose a bill that even Representative Wick said, “Do I or the other cosponsors believe that the State of South Dakota can require citizens to buy firearms? Of course not." 

Then I pose the question: What then, are our Congressional representatives supposed to be doing if they are not to be debating bills, sharing opinions and making points? 

All views aside, I'm not saying I agree or disagree with the Health Care Legislation or this proposed gun law but I do think that Rep. Wick deserves some credit for standing up and making his opinion known in a very different and attention grabbing way. It obviously got our attention.

Z-Day Is Coming And There Is Nowhere To Hide

Are you prepared? You know, for the Apocalypse? The Zombie Apocalypse? You better be, it's coming and it is going to be crRRrrrRRaaaAAAaazzzy! So if you're not prepared already like the rest of us, I would check out Zombie Survival and Defense Wiki, you should be able to find what you need to at least stand a chance on there.

But this post isn't really about Z-Day, it's not really about you surviving, it's more about Humans vs. Zombies. It's a game to help get people ready for the Zombie Apocalypse. If you haven't heard about it yet, check out the website and try to find a game going on somewhere in your area.

So DSU just officially started their game of HvZ yesterday. So far, there are at least 70 people signed up to play.

Now I have not been outside a lot yet, but the times I have been out have been super intense. Patient 0 still has not identified themselves yet, so it could still be anyone. With my trusty Maverick at my side though, I will not fear, for I can stun for ten minutes. It is going to get fun and scary the longer we play. I'm excited.

Goodluck to all those out there playing HvZ, and goodluck to all of you unprepared citizens, for when the zombies come, they show no mercy.
