The process for finding something to write about generally doesn't take me a lot of time, though some days I have to wade through more material than others. Today, the first thing I found sparked the urge to write because it involves something I believe in very strongly: the right to keep and bear arms. The source in question was a video from the Timcast IRL podcast) in which Tim discusses the recent no-knock warrant entry of police into the dwelling of Amir Locke in which he was killed due to being armed and in the wrong place at the wrong time. Tim's position appears to be one of holding back to wait on the facts, because the media lies so much and the information is still too murky to make a call on. However, the aspect of this situation that got my own blood moving was the fact that this happened because the police entered the premises with no warning, and that is the primary reason this incident occurred.
