He makes the argument that all young people need to learn a second or third language, the language Kristof mentions is spanish. “All young americans should learn spanish” (P3).

Guns are a big topic in our society today with all the violence, debates, and regulations that are happening. It is a big topic in the presidential debate concerning the second amendment listed in the constitution. In “Ready..Aim..Fire” the author, Alan Gottlieb, brings up many good points concerning the violence, the stance being taken, and proving the guns are not the problem in all the violence.
