Gun control and gun violence are major issues in this country. With the number of shootings rising, especially school shootings; we start to question if it is the rare occasion or something common. Who is to blame for people being inappropriate with their guns, the people or the law that allows them to carry the gun? Many gun owners are responsible with their guns so why punish the few along with the many? Or is it better to not take the risk with anyone at all? Access to guns now is easier than ever before too. Would putting a ban on guns actually be able to control them, or would the gun ban be a complete fail like the prohibition?

I personally think that there are too many people that own guns in the United States. All these guns will just bring us all problems the violence will increase more people would get shot for dumb reasons. It doesn't matter how unsaved you feel you shouldn't have a gun in a church or in a bar. Maybe if you feel like is unsaved to go to the bar without a gun you shouldn't be out to the bar. For example the shooting that happened in Colorado which happened in July 20, 2012 there were 12 people that were killed and 38 injured. Having a gun wasn't a God given right therefore people shouldn't use that in their arguments because there wrong.

The solution to all this madness would be to ban guns from citizens that have any type of record or any mental illnesses. They should go through a long process to have the gun and the gun shouldn't be able to leave the house because if it does they would get arrested. Gun owners should also be required to take a gun training class to teach them gun control and gun safety. This would bring down the violence and probably make people feel safer that the waiter they just yelled at isn't going to shoot them or attempt to kill them.It would also make it easier for cops because there would be less shootings and less cops dying in action because of a gang shooting or other gun related situation. The more rules the government puts on guns the less violence there would be.

9/11 and its aftermath

What happened on 9/11 was something terrible that, when it happened, was unimaginable to the American people. 19 members the all-Qaeda group hijacked 4 planes in a coordinated attack. Flights 11 and 175 struck the ETC towers in New York city. Flights 77 and 93 were aimed for the Pentagon in Washington DC. Flight 77 did strike the Pentagon, but flight 93 was set off course by defiant passenger s and hit a field in Pennsylvania. These attacks were funded and organized by Osama bin Laden and his networks. 2977 prophesied in the attacks. In the immediate few tweaks after the attacks, Americans were living in complete fear. That fear didn't weaken us though. It united us under one common enemy. The United States handled the situation in the best way they could have. I don't agree with everything that they do to protect our country but some people don't worry about the foreign affairs of our country because it doesn't matter as long as they feel safe. They feel as though as long as they feel safe the government's choices are unimportant. After their safety was taken away from them, it must have been hard for them to decide who to trust. 10 years after 9/11 we are much safer than we were in the past. We have better technology to protect us and are more knowledgeable about the dangers out there. I don't think the US overreacted to to 9/11 whatsoever. The country was in grave danger and we needed as much protection that we could get.
