In her article called, “Guns ad politics in the United States,” Marjan Chizari states that the NRA [National Rifle Association] and gun lobbies succeeded in the planning and influencing the politicians.” So, citizens of the United States can feed their obsession with gun possession. She presented evidence of 2015  statistics of mass shooting arguing that owning guns is a terrible things. The statistics of the  amount of people injured and  deceased by gun injuries was shocking. There were “13,286 [people] killed and 26,819  injured.” Too be honest the data is pretty alarming. 

Marjan  believes that the solution to the problem of the mass shooting in the United States is only allowing government workers, public servants to carry weapons. Hunters on the other hand should only be allowed to cary a gun with a state license and citizens should not carry nothing unless it's a special reason. She presented a graph proving that the United States has the most number of shootings compared to Canada, Uk and Australia, who have law control laws. This is a big problem, and the government has done nothing to fix it. The only solution considered correct right now is for everyone to carry a gun for their safety. 

Normal people carrying a gun is wrong, so I agree with Marjan’s solution to mass shooting. Nobody  having a gun is better than everyone having  a gun. I believe it is absurd to think that everyone is claiming that they are  buying a gun for their protection when they could be planning to shoot a school, church or even to harm their own family. 

A law that enforces gun control is the best thing that could happen to the United States, It’s just common sense.  An article by Even DeFilippis and Devin Hughes  called, “ The myth of the good guy with a gun,” Backs up the idea and they say that, “ The NRA is wrong: Owning a gun is far more likely to harm you than protect you.” They found pretty interesting information from a meta analysis of 16 studies. They found that “gun ownership doubles the risk of suicide and triples the risk of homicide.” This is socking, so I also believe that only government officials and professionals should have guns. This would lower dramatically the number of shootings throughout the nation. The United States would be safe, and there would be one less cause of leading death. 

It is unbelievable that the United States still uses death penalty as a form of punishment for capital crimes in the 21st century. Death penalty should be forbidden in this country. It is cruel to take a human beings life. The decision of weather someone deserves to die should only lay in gods hand. This country is known for being strong, free and fair and this is only possible because of justice. But is justice murdering a murder? Just "last year there were 28 deaths and there has been 18 deaths this year so far"(Bureau of justice statistics). Those criminals were probably horrible, but they did not deserve to die, after all, their act is also being used to punish other dangerous criminal.
The eighth amendment in the constitution says " excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fine imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishment inflicted." So how is death penalty not cruel and unusual? The person was sentenced to death probably because he was a criminal, but we forget that he was a sibling, a parent, an uncle or even a loving husband who might have made a huge mistake by letting his impulses control his actions. The saddest thing about death penalty used to punish bad humans is that a lethal injection is not the only form of death penalty allowed and used in america over the years. According to the death penalty information center other methods used in the United States to punish criminals include electrocution, gas chamber, hanging and two states can also use a "fire squad if something goes wrong or if the prisoner prefers another way to die besides the lethal injections."(Bureau of justice statistics, capital punishment 2011). This has been used in the past but even considering the fact that someone has to go through something another form of punishment besides being sedated to death is just wrong. For me that is cruel and not even a criminal deserves to die by human decision.
I believe life long imprisonment is enough punishment for a person. Death penalty is absurd not only because we are assassinating as a form of punishment for assassination, but we are killing a horrible person, which is like letting them rest in peace, since they feel fear for their life only for an instant. When we could imprison them for the rest of their life. At least in jail the criminal would remember every single day that they did something wrong and they are suffering because of that.
