Message: <blockquote data-quote="Michael Brown" data-source="post: 2087144" data-attributes="member: 18">I received the following report from my 9 year old daughter today after they discussed the 3 branches of government and their functions:Daughter: Isn't the president supposed to enforce our laws?Teacher: Yes.Daughter: Then why is the president making laws about guns?Teacher: We really don't want to discuss guns, but he is making laws because he thinks it will help keep people safe.Daughter: But that isn't his job is it?Teacher: Keeping people safe? Daughter: No.  Making laws.Teacher: Well, he has the power of executive orders.Daughter: Isn't that the same as making laws?Teacher: Somewhat, yes.Daughter: Isn't that Congress' job?Teacher: Well, yes.Daughter: Doesn't the president have to obey the rules too?Teacher: Of course. Daughter: Then why doesn't he obey the 2nd amendment?Teacher: We really don't want to talk about guns here.Daughter: How did we fight the British in the Revolutionary War?Teacher: We really need to move on. Needless to say, Dad was pretty proud.<img src="/images/smilies/new/patriot.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":patriot:" title="Patriot    :patriot:" data-shortname=":patriot:" />In fairness to the teacher, she is not a liberal and not anti-gun but I did find the whole issue very interesting from my daughter's point of view and was impressed with her ability to analyze a current legal topic as it applied to her current area of study.Funny how getting a 15-22 for Christmas will get a child politically inclined.......<img src="/images/smilies/rollinglaugh.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rollingla" title="Rollinglaugh    :rollingla" data-shortname=":rollingla" />Michael Brown</blockquote>
