I want to talk about gun control, because recently more and more shooting incident happened in school. Gun control is a big issue in U.S for long time. Some people think the people cannot have gun, in contrast the others people think people can have gun. In my opinion, I think people should not have gun. However, both of them have advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of government allow people has gun is that people can use gun to protect themselves and during the peaceful time, own the gun reflect that this country has more human right than others. The disadvantage of owning the guns is that it will increase the crime, people will have no ensure for their safety.

Brad Paisley, Accidental Racist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSurzeGvPrQ <-- this song created a lot of controversy as he sings about being a white man living in the South and being proud of the Confederates; it’s a good teaching tool as it serves as an example of systemic racism.
