In “Ready, Aim- Voting” September 22, 2016, Gail Collins claims that the controversy between having gun control or even a training session before buying a gun is coming up because of the elections coming up. Collins supports her claim by giving the example of Jason Kander who was in an advertisement to not allow Hillary clinton to take away the “gun rights” americans have. Collins is hoping to make Americans understand that it's not safe to not have some restrictions with guns in public because gun control has been a problem since many years ago.

Anyone would be curious to know why two kids, one carrying a fully automatic assault rifle, another holding a children’s book are seated next to each other, in what seems to be a classroom or children’s library.

This Super Bowl advertisement that for the first time addresses domestic abuse and sexual assault awareness first starts off with pans of everyday household items. There is also a voiceover of a 911 dispatcher talking to a woman who is trying to order pizza. At the start it perceives to be an innocent call of a confused woman talking in a calmly matter; however when the camera starts to pan more items, the items scattered in the house appear to show subtle hints of some kind of violence that has recently occur.

Gun control has become a topic of controversy in the United States. There are those who oppose Gun Control and those who approve, those who proclaim that guns are the ones executing human beings and animals as well. In the preceding article, “How Gun Control Kills”, the author Jack Hunter claims, “Is there an evil worse than killing children? Is there anything more heart-wrenching than the feeling of absolute helplessness in our inability to protect them?” The author of the article is speaking against Gun control, stating why the country does not need laws against owning weapons and claiming Gun control is responsible for the killings the U.S is currently encountering.

The issue of gun violence is a very controversial issue that splits our country into two opinions--those who are for stricter gun control laws and those who are against them. The conversations about this topic have increased significantly in the past year due to recent events. The 2017 Las Vegas shooting and the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting were two particular instances that shocked and outraged the nation. Gun violence is a fairly new concern as far as problems in The United States go, with seven of the eight deadliest shootings of U.S. history having occurred after 1990. This is a key piece of information, because studies have shown that while the number of shootings has not necessarily increased in recent years, the number of fatalities within each has. Therefore, the actual root of this issue is the guns being used. These weapons are continuing to become more and more advanced, yet the laws in regards to them are not being changed in order to protect the general public. The longer The United States delays attempts to fix this issue,

We all want to live safe and secure, and to be able to live without fear. This is one of the human rights that should be protected by diplomats, congressmen, senators, presidents, and ect.

The viewer is also posed the question, “One child is holding that’s been banned in America to protect them. Guess which one.”? While assault rifles remain legal in the United States of America; Little Red Riding Hood is banned by two school districts in California in 1990 because the cover depicts the protagonist holding a basket with a bottle of wine inside. Three more counties in Florida tried to have the book banned because parents and teachers deemed the wolf too scary for children.

While seven states such as: California, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Hawaii (assault pistols only), Maryland, Massachusetts, New

For recent years in America, word “gun violence” and “gun control” were brought up more frequently, we reevaluate and reconsider the safety of gun and the actual use of it. Gun holder was asked to put the gun into gun cabinets because it’s easy for kids to get and find out how to use it without any safety instruction.
