Hunters using a semi-automatic won't “spray and pray” - firing blindly without making an effort to aim correctly and hit their target. Manually operated firearms have been in more hunting accidents than semi-automatic firearms.

On the other hand, abortions should not be legal as another form of birth control that many see it as today. Between my beliefs and exposure to current events, I see abortion as a last case scenario. The topic that I feel the most passionately about is gun control. I believe citizens have the right to own a firearm,…

    Thousands die each year in America due to gun related deaths. I believe that along with outlawing assault and semi automatic weapons, there should be strict regulation on ammo. Some people say that these regulations won't matter because criminals will still illegally get firearms, and people can still kill with limited ammo. This may be true, but with less ammo available it still limits the amount of potential damage a criminal can do. Additionally buy no longer allowing semi automatics it will…

    Guns are used all around the world, but here in the United States, we need to keep our gun usage limited with gun laws.

I think the other prisoners had already broken out, and I was happy about it. Then, just when I thought that the prisoners were gone, I heard multiple gun shots, it sounded like what was sub-machine guns, rifles, and other fully automatic weapons.
