Do we have the courage to stop this? By Nicholas D. Kristof, a lot of kids die from gun every year.Why can't they take guns as serious as cars.
In the article it say children ages 4 to 14 in America are 13 times as likely to be murdered with gun as children in other industrialized counties. In the article it also states that people of the world don't regulate guns as seriously as they do cars, and that the predominant reason kids are dying in massacres like this.
In the article Kristof said,"I understand shooting is fun! But so is driving, and we accept that we must wear seat belts, use headlights at night, and fill out forms to buy a car. Why can't we be equally adult about regulating guns.
I think this topic is just what we need to fix deaths in the city, state and country. They need to do more background checks on people wanting to by guns and asking what they need it for it should be a policy.
The main quote that stood out to me was when Nicholas D. Kristof said, "as on of my facebook followers wrote after i posted about the shooting it's is more difficult to adopt a pet than it is to buy a gun." I can agree with that statement because when my mom when to adopt a dog they wanted to see if she would treat the animal wrong and is she going be good to it basically like checking her background.
This never happened to me nor in my life I just heard about it on the new but I know people how have guns; and i wonder if they actually had to go through a process to get them. To sum everything up we need equal right on gun as we have on cars.

Weed Heads
Marijuana law just creates criminals by Hakeem Jeffries. It's about how unfairly the people get arrested for having marijuana.
Each year hundreds of thousands of people are arrested for smoking or having marijuana on them. In New York it's a policy called stop and frisk, they stop you and check you without any warnings. Often police officer ride around and approach young people and instruct them to empty their pockets, a lot of people are arrested and charged with misdemeanor possession.
New York is preparing to take steps to solve this problem. It's only because high political office have frequently admitted to smoking marijuana when they were younger. We didn't unmercifully penalized them. So we should stop criminalizing hundred of thousands of our young people for doing the samething.
Personally, I know a lot of people that smoke marijuana and don't care if the police catch them or not, they love when their high. They say it feels good and just let you leave your worries at home, try it. I say no marijuana slows you down and kills your brain cells, and you won't be able to get a job if you smoke marijuana.
I would like to ask the cop's that be arresting people for marijuana some questions.
If that person you seen smoke marijuana was your son or daughter what would you do?
Have you ever smoked marijuana?
Did you ever think about smoking marijuana?
I wouldn't like if they take marijuana away because some people need marijuana to stay cool without that they might go off and shoot at anybody or anything, and that's putting the young kids and adult in danger of getting killed but someone who want's drugs!

7 and 11 years old goin badd
Boys, 7 and 11, Attempt Carjacking by COLLEEN CURRY . This story is about a 7 and 11 years old boy trying to carjack and rob young lady with a cocked and loaded 22 handgun.
Police said that the two boys had a cocked and loaded .22 handgun that
they brandished while telling Amy Garrett, 22, to give up her money and
truck. Garrett said she was waiting for her parents at the freedom foursquare and she was approach by some kid telling her to give the truck up or die, she said they didn't even look like they were big enough to drive.
Garrett said, "She didn't even think the gun was real, the youngest one said shows her the piece and the 11 year old one pulled up his shirt to show it off." Garrett said, she was scared when he asked her was she ready to go and she hop in her car and called 911. Soon the cops arrived at the scene and the kids tried to run but the cop grabbed the 11 and 7 years old boy, they wasn't arrested do to their age but the police will report the incident to juvenile court.
I personally think that them kids should be arrested, that's attempted murder and if it was a teenager or adult they would of been send away, them kids knew better and they knew what they was doing. They had a loaded gun and demanded to take the truck.
I want to know why the kids have a gun? I want to know what the parents of the kids do to them? I really can't compare this to a point in my life, because I wouldn't never try to rob nor carjack somebody. You would never caught my with a gun! Clearly, I told you about this unfair article.
