In the article, “Voyage of Hope, Voyage of Tears” the statement, “Hope was the one guiding star that led millions of people to immigrate to America.” explains why the immigrants were optimistic. The immigrants hoped that in America they would be able to find jobs and earn enough money to buy a house and start a family, forever escaping the poverty that they faced in Europe. They knew that even though it might be tough living in steerage, they were determined to make it to their destination, and start a new life in America. No longer would the depressing grip of poverty hold them down from opportunity. Once the the immigrants arrived in New York they could finally feel the release of poverty’s binding hold and run free, across the land of golden opportunity, as if the country itself had spoken to them --“come with me--to

To summaries this essay we have learn, and debate about the political, controversial issues when it comes to what our founding father's attention where when it come to the constitution right to bear with well-regulated militia arm is it only support by the State or based on the individual right carry firearms? James Lindgren had answered that question by saying American citizen has an obligation to obey the law of the State according; and as a citizen we do have the right to bear arm provide we go through background checks to apply for a gun

Gun control is a highly controversial issue with each proponent (Pro vs. Con) providing statistics and facts supporting their standpoint. However, in the past several decades, advocates supporting gun control have significantly suffered with state’s enacting concealed carry legislation. The Constitution of the United States of America, the Second Amendment, is one of the most prevalent issues in government. To further reduce their stance, recent court decisions by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS), has reassured citizens that their Second Amendment rights shall not be infringed upon by any government entity. The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

That the founding fathers wanted the right to keep and bear arms protected was obvious. They believed that the militia was the only real defense of liberty against tyranny. They didn’t trust standing armies, theirs or any other, or their government — they wanted a country that really was just “the people”

The year is 1978. A man is leaving his house to drive to work in the city of Chicago. He says goodbye to his wife and children and walks out to his car, starts up the engine, and proceeds to drive to work. When he arrives, a hooded man is walking up to him with a firearm and demands his money. Now this man has little to no money to feed his family or pay their bills, and he could have avoided all of this if he had just also had a firearm on him. All fifty states in the United States of America have concealed carry laws as of 2013, which is a great step in the acceptance of concealing firearms for normal civilians as no less than forty years ago only a handful of less than ten states in America had right to carry laws and they still needed extensive background checks and screenings, and now every single state in America has at least some form of right to carry laws, some states provide much more freedom to conceal carry as some citizens can conceal carry without a permit in certain states. “People who oppose concealed carry argue that neighborhoods and communities should have less guns, not more of them. They argue that adding more firearms to the situation will make small disputes such as a misunderstanding into an accidental shooting with someone being seriously injured.” Concealed carrying is about letting the average, law abiding citizen defend his or herself from possible attackers or

security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”.

In 1791, The Bill of Rights of the Constitution was ratified to ensure the protection of the American people’s rights. The Second Amendment addressed the right to bare arms. “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed” (1). The founding fathers of the United States created this Amendment to insure the militia power, to insure a means of self defense for the citizen, and to provide power to the people to repel foreign invasion. During this time, every

Opportunity: what is it? It is taking a risk in order to reach a better life for oneself. Being the quintessential essence of the American Dream, grasping opportunity defines the bold who dare to take a better life. To many, the American Dream is a phrase used to describe the past immigration into America for a better life or the vivid lives of those in the 1920’s that author F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote about in his novel, The Great Gatsby. It may not show itself in the same manner, but the American Dream is alive today for those who have the hope to change their position and have the courage to take risks. Americans such as Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, and Sylvester Stallone have proven this to be true. In today’s society, accomplishing the American Dream is still possible and it is still accessible to the “tired, the poor, the huddled masses.”

America do not be surprised if I were to tell you that bearing arms was not always a disturbing issue. Earlier in the world making decisions was left up to high authorities. If you were considered lower income citizens your opinion was not

Let’s first look at the idealistic and stupendous use for a concealed gun in public: The concept basically allows you to appear as the average Joe, who can at the flick of the wrist, turn into a hero and save the day by suppressing an aggressive zealot committing an act of crime. Thus, instantly turning the day into a successful victory of justice. The problem with what I just described is that in many cases this is the mindset of a concealed carrier, when in reality is never the situation. Even supposing you draw your weapon, you may be suppressing the situation momentarily, but are now putting yourself in more danger to get shot than you were before. And now you have a risk of going to jail. A lot of people say

I whole-heartedly believe that having a concealed gun does not, and will never, make up for the element of surprise. The only thing it allows you to do, as Francisco's explanation showed, is respond to what is already a tragedy. Instead of responding to tragedies, we should be taking steps to prevent them.

Similar to the practices in England, the American colonies had numerous gun-control laws concerning safety, crime, hunting, the common defense, and even slaves. Despite those similarities, the American colonies diverged from England’s gun-control laws in two respects. First, outside of the restrictions imposed upon slaves, the American colonies did not restrict the use, ownership, and possession of guns based upon socioeconomic status. Second, the American colonies did not prescribe to a select militia based upon class. Instead, they prescribed to a universal draft whereby men of all classes were required to maintain guns and other accoutrements for the safety and defense of the state.
