What do I think of gun control? That is a topic that will be debated until the end of time. I can understand that the government wants to keep society safe, but I think we, as the people in today's society are responsible for this situation.

The country that used a term referred to as "Manifest Destiny"ÃÂ to nullify the wrongs and crimes that were committed to form what is now referred to as the greatest country in the world. In the history courses that I have studied throughout my collegiate years, I was reminded of the same scenario over and over about war, murder, trespassing, rape, first degree murder, and the worse of all, slavery of a people. What am I getting at? How can a country that was built on crime try to rule and make regulations on society? It has always been an opinion of mine that this government is corrupt.
