    I am fortunate enough to have just moved into a decent size house with a garage. The garage also came with some work benches already installed. The work benches are a little beaten up but they are sturdy enough for the work I need them for and with a few alterations they should be a good start for my gunsmithing work.

    A logical assertion can, and is, made that certain background checks are desirable in order to decrease the amount of deaths caused by guns. However, we need to understand the effectiveness of these checks, that many who want a gun will go to any means to acquire one. In a study conducted by Daniel W. Webster and Jon S. Vernick of John Hopkins University, over 80 percent of criminals evaluated were not lawful retail purchasers of firearms – as most acquired their weapons from sources such as family members and street sources (Source 1).

Both observations show that while increased background checks and illegalizing specific weapons do have an effect, they may only slow those who will do anything to have powerful armaments.…

Eventually, our principal was able to gather his words to say, “Today, we have lost one of our fellow students due to gun violence. This needs to be put to an end, every other week I cut on the television and I see another one of our youth dead.…
