A man who owns a gun can be a threat depending on his intentions with the gun. Some people believe that our forefathers were completely insane to allow anyone to own a gun, and every time someone is murdered at the hand of a gun the debate sparks back up. Were our forefathers right to give us the ability to bear arms?

              People say that we are wrong to bear arms. They say that guns are evil and should be taken off the market completely.

I am not a fan of guns. In fact, I hate them and I am scared of them. I have been known to hastily cross the street when I see someone with a gun on their hip.-Lihle Z Mtshali

 How can we let these deadly things corrupt us? They will cause humanity to kill each other,and we can't let them take away our children.
               First of all I think its ridiculous  A gun is a large amount of metal made to fire at a human's command. We cant say that we are made to do any thing by a gun. We may as well say that our cell phone is making us send a text. Humans do these things out of our free will. We make the choice as to weather or not it is fired, not the gun itself. Secondly gunpowder was made to treat skin infections in china in the early 13th century(http://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/inventions/who-invented-the-first-gun.htm) We are the ones that took something made for medicine and turned it into a deadly weapon. By killing someone you are making everyone in that family suffer. That man or woman may have little children. who are you to say that they cant grow up knowing their parent?People of Guncite.com said it perfectly when talking about the second amendment "Although the amendment emphasizes the need for a militia, membership in any militia, let alone a well-regulated one, was not intended to serve as a prerequisite for exercising the right to keep arms."  this basically means that people were are legally allowed to own these weapons but not in order to use them on each other.
              In order to take care of all of the problem we need stricter gun laws. The thing that we used as a weapon against an animal has become a weapon against ourselves.humans do make the choice, but we need to be a lot more strict about who we give a gun to. We are only hurting ourselves by not having these laws in place, because from revenge breeds revenge. the person who you hurt will have people that care about him or her that will want to come after you.

                     There are people divided due to rising oil prices, a world dependent on each other, and a world dependent on an environment that is betraying them. We cant say that people are wrong to be afraid but in fear comes strength and unity. The global warming crisis has been a topic of science, and we have turned it into a political matter. we cant survive without our environment, but the way we are gong about changing it is wrong. Sure government should be a part of it, but government cant be the only one doing something about this. the Democrats and Republicans are at odds about how to do something but right now the rest of us don't do enough. I believe that global warming is an issue caused by natural causes, its happened way too many times in the past, but why are we taking chances? We are fighting for our right to survive not a political matter. I could be wrong. I could have everything mixed up and everything is a cause of humans, but why take the chance?  The thing is global warming is the warming and cooling of the earth and right now people are trying to turn it into a governmental statement to try and figure out who to elect.
                    The people who oppose me are the Republican Party. My beliefs are that of the Democratic Party. I am trying to find common beliefs between the two parties at the moment. i truly believe its possible, but don't see much of a common idea in the Republican Party. The Republican Party just seems to be total opposite this electoral season. We cant just stick with the same ideas because they are running out. If we are totally dependent on fossil fuels what happens when they run out? Not only are we in detriment energy-wise, but we would have also destroyed the environment in the process.

                    In my opinion we need to find the common ground between the two. If we don't find a way to save our environment and find out that global warming is our fault then we wont be able to live at all. If we have no clean air to breathe because we have polluted it all then we cannot live. If we cut down all the trees to mine for natural resources and then run out not only do we have no energy but we also have no air to breathe because trees are making oxygen possible. We can say global warming isn't our fault but why let politicians make all the decisions to our survival?

                      It was a day that will never be forgotten. On September 11th 2001, nearly 3000 people faced the cold grasp of death. The civilians around the towers that were attacked watched in horror as rubble was thrown into the air. They ran terrified to be hit by falling debris, but too afraid to look back. This isn't even a comparable depiction of what happened to the victims and witnesses to the September 11th attacks on America. I will never be able to understand the horror they went through but i will do my best to depict it.
                     After the attacks people lived in fear of another plane falling from the sky for years. We had apparent threats of planes filled with explosives and towns such as Tappahanock terrified the planes were coming their way. The fear led the American People to do whatever the government told us to. An example is the war in Iraq. We went over without any proof of these weapons of mass destruction. After the attacks everything was done in secret like the records from Bush's army service. They blacked out that Bush wasn't alone in his leave. The government didn't want people to know that the man who was working with Bin Laden also had a leave from the American Armed Forces.
                      There are people who say that our government would never lie to us, and since Bush was a part of our government he was an honest man. He couldn't do anything wrong, I mean, he was an American leading his own country. People blindly supported any decision he made.

                  September 11th will always be remembered. Our nation cant forget what happened to the twin towers and the world trade center. The people in those buildings reminded us that we are one nation. The government took advantage of our fear but it has made us stronger. It tore our economy apart but it made us rely on our families. It taught us to work harder and made us have empathy for our country.
