Americans are wondering if it should be renewed after many mass shootings like in Newtown, Connecticut. According to the FBI, more people in America are murdered every year by weapons such as knives, personal weapons and blunt objects than assault rifles. Also, gun supporters argue that it would infringe on the Second Amendment. Then, should large capacity magazines be banned? This topic is a big controversy. Supporters say that it should be limited to ten rounds. Gun advocates say a ban would…

Today in the United States, the Second Amendment is a largely controversial debated topic by roughly every politician. The Second Amendment was adopted on December 15, 1791. It states “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” (Masters). There are various inputs to this enormous problem, on the bare surface it seems as if a large proportion of this input is contributed by society; or that is…

KOYASO LEKOLOI SHOT His first elephant in anger. The hundred or so that followed he killed for money. During nearly two decades as a poacher, bandit, thief, and alleged murderer Lekoloi killed more elephants than any other individual in northern Kenya until, tired of life on the run, he decided to give up poaching. I met Lekoloi by the side of a dry riverbed just outside Samburu National Reserve in Kenya’s arid, craggy north. We sat on the ground beneath a towering acacia tree to talk. The sand…

Easy access to firearms is an increasingly serious threat to U.S. public safety and will remain so in the future if gun control is not a main concern for the federal government.

Personal ownership of assault weapons can be dangerous when placed in the wrong hands. They should also be banned because it’s increases day by day spreading like a disease across the world. Crime rates are increasing rather decreasing due to the spread of personal assault weapons. Firstly, personal…

Afghanistan: There were many challenges in the military but I am choosing to write about one scenario that made me realize what type of person I am. Even though I had struggle all through school, I was surprisingly good at being a Marine. Once I finished my first year in the military my parents grew to be pretty comfortable with the idea of me being in the corps. I think it is because they saw that I was finally growing up. In the Marine Corps they do not care about excuses and they definitely…

The Second Amendment is one of the most controversial topics today in the United States. The reason it is so important is because it affects every person in the country. A lot of people feel the amendment should be banished to avoid conflict. On the other hand, others feel the amendment is crucial to our country, helping protect from conflict. I feel strongly that the Second Amendment is someone’s constitutional right, but should be thought of more as a privilege and should not be abused. With…

the hands of the wrong people is the motive. However, steps to start this process would be to enforce gun laws to get guns out the wrong hands, to have classes to teach new gun owner 's responsibility, to learn what is the purpose of the National Rifle Association…
