    Racism is a big topic right now in this country alone. But what have we done in Nebraska as a state to stop this? I have picked this topic because I don’t like to see people dying on the streets from shooting mainly happening from racist comments. I would like to see this country overcome racism and the state of Nebraska could be the reason we overcome it. Here’s what I have to say about it. We really haven’t had a big event in racism or shootings since the neo-Nazi group in 2007. But we still

    People want to believe that gun control will reduce crime, but history has showed that gun control will never work. Hitler tried it with germany, England tried it, Australia tried it, china tried, and they have all been failures. Today everyone talks about gun control and how it will save lives, but what they do not take into consideration is the history of gun control and the outcome that other countries have had from establishing gun control laws. In 1935 china passed their gun control laws, three

    Many gun control activists argue that the reason of how youth obtain a gun to carry out their acts is partly due to the lack of properly securing the weapons by the gun owner, especially the parents. Child access prevention laws (CAP) requires gun owners to keep their weapons locked up and/or making the owner of the gun responsible if a youth gains access to the gun and harms someone with it. The National Rifle Association (NRA) also encourages gun owners to keep guns locked up when not in use. (Kleck

This idea of causing harm stays with us from childhood until we take our last breath. Since 2013, there have been 242 school shootings within America. Even worse, there have been over a thousand

    If the bad people and criminals really want to kill lots of people with assault rifles they will still find out a way to get ahold of them. Just because they ban these assault weapons doesn’t mean they're gonna get taken off the streets.

    problems have arisen from these dangerous objects, many are calling for restrictions on what the American public can and cannot have as far as weaponry goes. For instance, an AK-47 is pointless to sell to the public if the main reason that people get weapons is to hunt! There is absolutely no reason that a deer needs thirty bullets shot straight through him to die. It only takes one bullet. Unless, of course, the animal had a bulletproof vest on and a six-inch thick shield of armor protecting it, which

    Any big producers reading this review take notes because we have the next big war flick. Prepare yourself because it's going to be huge, as Donald Trump may say. Dim the lights, turn on some Metallica, and grab some popcorn for this adrenaline rush of a story. The short story, "The Sniper" by Liam O'Flaherty, is a great glimpse of war leaving the reader with near PTSD. The story of "The Sniper" is almost similar to a scene out of one of the greatest war movies ever made called "American Sniper"
