There are bountiful examples of intolerance towards other races, religions, and even sexual orientations. One popular example of prejudice is the Ku…

The majority of violent crimes in the United States are committed by men (Gun Control, 2013). The fact that a gun or guns were used in the commission of these crimes does not, in itself, warrant the removal of weapons from society.
