believe that America can be a safer place if the gun laws are acted upon and changed. The current laws that are in place have resulted in many deaths that are well and truly uncalled for. How would you feel about a psychopath getting hold of a weapon so lethal? Or how would you feel about a suicidal teenager getting their hands on a gun? American laws state that it is not necessary to run

The improvement of technologies especially the creation of Lethal Autonomous Weapons (LAWS) also raise further ethical questions. Michael C. Horowitz (2016) raise several

Girl vs Girl Her heels are a lethal weapon, 5 inches of sheer judgment. She scours the internet slyly with her brow raised and fingertips ready to spread words of distaste and scrutiny.

Studies show that women are biologically more competitive than men when it comes to the attention of a significant other or the role as “alpha” female. We listen to it every day, it is all around us! “Oh she’s not even that pretty” or “she’s okay I guess but

Pigs Invasion of Cuba in 1961. The failure embarrassed the CIA and the United States on the world stage, as Cuban dictator Fidel Castro used the botched invasion to consolidate power and strengthen ties with the Soviet Union.

someone trying to get a gun permit simply needs to meet the following petty requirements like a minimum age, no prior felony conviction, and no recent commitments to a mental institution. The other eight states have a “may issue” law where concealed weapon permits are approved based on the discretion of local police departments or governments (ProCon.Org), which makes… a little more sense… Let’s first look at the idealistic and stupendous use for a concealed gun in public: The concept basically allows
