Gun violence with has been the cause of the deaths of many American adults and children. According to BBC News, there were about 372 mass shootings in the United States in the year of 2015. There was 2015 Umpqua Community College shooting that had killed ten people and wounded 20 by the end of the day. People thought of the shooting with a collective shrug which means that they saw it as another common occurrence and ignored it. The collective shrug shows how America has been comfortable about shootings. There is one major reason why these shootings occur, faulty gun control.

It is no wonder why there is something wrong with our nation’s gun control: the lack of safety training, the weapons themselves, the process of obtaining a weapon, and the ineffective laws. Without immediate changes, there will be more dominant disorders, like more violence, in our communities. How did gun control become so out of hand? Well, people are exploiting the second amendment to go beyond what it states. Some people might want guns for hunting and protection, while some people want guns to attack or antagonize their communities. For example, a madman going crazy in a community. One way to reduce the…

The right to bear arms was the 2nd amendment in our Constitution; so obviously to our forefathers this has been a very important ideal since the beginning of our nation.

It generally means that some cultures or races were naturally “better” than others, and it was exploited greatly during the age of colonization to justify imperialism. The Europeans technology, economy and government were far more advanced than any other race at the time. They mass produced the arquebus, used to take over south America. Due to this, they used social Darwinism to tell everyone that it was the Europeans that…

daimyo to create and organize units equipped with muskets. He also seized the opportunity to increase his power and position by aiding the “rightful” shogun, Yoshiaki, regain his title of shogun.

Using the phrase “in the name of the shogun,” he was justified in his actions and others could not defy him without the risk of being seen as opposing the shogun. b. The Battle…
