If you think about it, gun violence has decreased because back in the day, having a gun made you popular but now other things can make you popular. For example, making up a simple dance that’s different from other ones can make you popular, or just by the way you dress can make you highly famous. Jacob Davidson states, “...we’ve have had a remarkable decrease in violent and gun crime in the U.S. since the early 1900s.”…

    The peaceful opposition to law is positive on free society because it demonstrates that one can stand up for what one believes it's right. Everyone has different opinions and of course not every person has to agree with what the laws demand. For example Muhammad Ali stood up against not going to war even though it was mandatory for him to serve his country. Even with that he had his own opinion on killing “innocent brown people who’s never bothered us” (Mullen). Ali knew he was going to face…

    After reading the two articles about gun control, my stance on the issue has been greatly influenced. Before reading the articles, I thought that guns should have stricter laws just because they were dangerous, but after reading them, I’ve realized that there are many more reasons that the US should adopt stricter gun control regulations. The leading reason why I think this is because gun regulations will likely reduce high crime rates, like they did in European countries and Australia after…

When you hear, “only law abiding citizens follow the law”, your initial response is to agree with that statement, but it isn’t until you reflect on this statement that you come to realize that this argument is barren of reason and offers nothing in regards to the strategy to decrease the number of deaths due to firearm use. If we have this mentality…

    School shootings can happen anytime, and at any school. How many more innocent children have to be killed by armed gunman for our to carry concealed weapons? Calling 911 is no longer a solution.
