Violence through the Hands or Mind? The USA has been experiencing multiple events of violence involving guns and the political fight to oppose further gun distribution, but is the gun really at fault?
The government of the United States has further shown that the fault in gun violence in placed within the gun itself rather than the individual who used it, the general public as well as politicians must realize that the fault rests within the person who has committed the crime.

One of the details that politicians often miss when making gun laws is the mental background of some of the shooters in mass shooting incidents. The shooters in Aurora, Sandy Hook, Tucson, Virginia Tech and even Columbine all had similar traits, they possessed a form of mental disturbance that have been a factor for them committing such atrocities. However, their mental disabilities are of no excuse for their actions, anti-gun activists used this as a reason to make weapons extremely scarce to the general public. According to Charles W. Collier, a notable psychologist in criminal affairs, “In common law, a person is presumed to intend the natural and probable consequences of his voluntary actions.” (Collier 1) This states that through non-corrupted and common thought, anyone committing a crime is presenting a willingness to face the consequences of their actions. Notice how the tool of their crime is not stated or even mentioned as the source of fault? This further proves how the source of turmoil is the actor not the prop. In addition, guns need not be the sources of conflict for legislative acts, for many leftist and liberal supporters feel that gun legislation would prevent criminals from achieving weapons on their own account, this is folly.

Learned Behavior
Learned behavior can often be compared with social learning because they both deal with the individual being affected by observing their environment. Early theories of learned behavior and social learning states “humans and other organisms can in fact learn new behaviors from others they encounter in social environments” (Escobar, 2008).

Cesar Chavez, the writer of this article, argues that “...nonviolence is more powerful than violence.” (Line 12-13) Why is nonviolence more powerful than violence? Chavez answers this opinion-based question by arguing that you only gain from nonviolence as you would lose lives if violence was involved in solving an issue by using aphorism and repetition to persuade and educate readers about his opinions about nonviolence.

According to Fanon, violence is the fundamental factor that defines the meaning and practice of colonisation. In Fanon’s chapter “On Violence”, he writes predominately about the centrality of violence in resisting colonial
