When Obama attempts to break apart the current system of society and explain the rights and wrongs behind it, he digs to a deeper level to make

“Americans are deeply divided over the Second Amendment. Some passionately assert that the Amendment protects an individual’s right to own guns. Others, that it does no more than protect the right of states to maintain militias” (Cornell). The Second Amendment of the constitution gives citizens the right to bear arms, and is therefore one of the most important laws of the nation.

Guns In The United States In today’s society of political turmoil, violence, and economic tragedies, many gun control advocates are pushing for more gun regulations from the government. Guns have been a part of America’s way of life for centuries. However, it was not until the 20th century that the government enacted it’s first gun control act.

During the Vietnam War, more than twice as many Americans were killed with firearms in the U.S. than died in combat. Today, firearms are used in approximately 65% of the 11,000 homicides a year. Suicides are carried out via a gun 57% of the 16,600 a year (“GunCite” 49). These statistics pose the question, “Would there be that many fewer deaths if guns were banned altogether?

As they convince themselves that all the places and scenes from fictional Jackson actually occurred. Now there is nothing wrong with someone enjoying the story that The Help tells. It is a very well crafted film that tells its story very well. Viewers may also learn about the past as to not repeat the failures of the generations before.
