    In recent days, there has been many problems come to surface over gun control. From Sandy Hook, Columbine, Orlando and Colorado, many people feel we need to do something about these shootings. Some believe that that the way to solve this is to ban firearms altogether, and others feel we should arm every citizen. I think that a happy middle would be a great way to start. The firearm ban from 1994 had little to no noticeable effect because it left normal law abiding citizens unable to arm themselves and criminals (surprisingly) still didn't heed the law.…

    Many things in our world anger me, but when I hear that our new President has just made it legal for mentally ill Americans to purchase guns, I go ballistic. The second amendment states that we are given the right to bear arms legally, but I think that our founding fathers did not mean that someone mentally ill is allowed to purchase firearms. Events occur all around the world that give evidence as to why firearms should not even be allowed to be purchased even by the average human being. The Newtown shooting occurred at Sandy Hook elementary school in 2012 and it is a day we will never forget.…

    This brings us to an example of when a person who legally had a concealed firearm was able to prevent an attempted mass shooting in Chicago, Illinois. On April 17th, 2015, an Uber driver was on his way to pick up his next customer. While waiting a stoplight, a man on the crosswalk had begun to shoot randomly at people walking across. At this time, the Uber driver who had a concealed carry permit had got out of his car and shot the man several times, saving a countless number of lives and an attempted mass shooting according to the police chief of the City of Chicago. Good samaritans like the Uber driver makes it justifiable to allow citizens to have the right to bear firearms and use it for self defense, contrary to how the government wants to tighten control over firearms even…

    I believe that if more people carrying guns, and defended themselves, these acts would go away. The Second Amendment, that was written in the Constitution, allows people to have guns for self-defense, especially during the non-military time. People who bear arms, or carry concealed weapons, make better American individuals. Once again, the second amendment that was written in the Constitution, excludes citizens from bearing arms that have a history of criminal acts against a community or a person. Today, in order to carry or have a weapon, a person has to go through a federal background check, and have to pass a gun safety class.…

    Fired Up on Campus Three out of every four americans support ¨laws allowing law-abiding citizens to get a permit to carry a concealed weapon¨ (¨Should Adults Have the Right to Carry a Concealed Handgun?¨).

    Philadelphia is proud of the reputation of being “the city of brotherly love”, with the LOVE park and sign right in Center City. However, Philly has gained a reputation for something else in recent years that have brought this nickname into a question; this city has become an example of rising gun violence, with constant shootings and multiple deaths.
