Confessions of an Economic Hit Man: How accurate is it? Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, as narrated by John Perkins – who claims that he started writing the book in the 80’s, but was persuaded either through threats or bribes to stop – tells the story of how he began as an Economic Hit Man (EHM) and his professional activity with Chas. T. Main, an “independent” utilities consultant to the governments of various developing countries. As an EHM, his job was to write exaggerated predictions on…

it's starting to get out of control. I believe bigger guns such as, Assault Rifles, Submachine guns, Shotguns and any other war weapons should be off limits! I think weapons such as pistols should only be the remaining gun. Not Automatic pistols, only a single shot to prevent accidental fires and harm.

it easier for students to access weapons. “Arming teachers is not like arming pilots. Pilots’ firearms are stored in a secured cockpit where access is very tightly controlled. Teachers would be forced to carry weapons into classrooms filled with children and teens, thus opening many more opportunities for the guns to fall into the wrong hands” (Rostron and Siebel). In many cases of school shootings, a student is a perpetrator and if these students are around weapons on a daily basis, they are…

Gun Controversy “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, Shall not be infringed.” My interpretation of the second amendment is me being able to legally purchase a firearm and use it for protection if I need to. I am all for guns however, I do believe there are pros, cons, and gun laws to allow Americans to keep their guns. Guns can definitely be used as a protection based on how responsible gun owners are. In…
