New Hubble data confirms that Milky Way will collide with Andromeda Galaxy

Not any time soon but in the next 4 billion years it is predicted that our galaxy, the Milky Way will be colliding with its neighbour galaxy, Andromeda.
This was confirmed by NASA, and  scientists using the Hubble telescope.
According to NASA this collision will not have damaging  effects, as the sun and the planets will not be affected.  But as a result of this the two galaxies will be formed into one causing  increasd gravitational pull, this can make everything in our galaxy shift witch can effect us greatly.

This story called Toying with gun control from The Washington Times, talks about reasons why guns should not be outlawed. i agree that they should not be outlawed for reasons of protecting yourself and you're family. The article gave an example of an situation in London where gangs were robing shops and killing people that got in there way, in this situation the police were overwhelmed and had to retreat. in the end it was the store owners, firing from rooftops, with there own personal fire arms that protected there own lives, goods and families. I think this is a great example of why guns should not be outlawed.
