This article shows the timeline of the governments plans for gun control laws over the years

I feel like the gun control that is currently in place is good, but we need to help people get trained for better safety if a situation arises!

Gun control in my opinion should be regulated, not be taken away from the rights of Americans. Some people can be dangerous with huge amounts of firearms without regulations.

Family-planning programs boost incomes, reduce poverty, and ease the load on America's safety net. And yet, Republicans can't seem to condemn them strongly enough. Investing in reproductive health isn't just good for women and their families-it's good for the economy. (nmw)

If planned parenthood were to be defunded, it is predicted that the government would end up spending more in the long run on public assistance. Planned parenthood provides many services for women, one of them being birth control. Statistics in this article show that women who used birth control were easily able to finish school, find jobs, and create a steady life before having children. Defunding this organization would cost America more money in the bigger scheme of things.

The author believes planned parenthood is positive. It boosts the economy because those women have the chance to plan their pregnancies and prevent unwanted ones.

Mike Rowe talks about what would actually happen if heavier gun control laws were laid down. He talks about how he thinks a heavier background check would not do much to a criminal purchasing a gun illegally. He says then that if we cannot control the government, why would we want to make it bigger by handing over our guns.

We do need stronger gun control laws, but either way I feel as if anyone now a days think its okay to have self defense as in automatically killing someone. Self defense is a mechanism as to which keeps oneself safe, as well as stopping the offender in a way that does not kill them, only stops; by saying that does not mean "go kill them" and that is what most people believe now a days is what self defense is, just by killing another individual.

One obvious solution would be to distribute enough temporary work visas for the farmers to be able to hire the workers they need legally. The positive aspects of the Bracero program should be revived, while eschewing its mistakes.

it is necessary for our protection to share information with the government. The surveillance should be moderate and non-invasive.

We either pay for privacy like with ITunes or deal with the information leaks. The problem most people have is that there was no way of knowing what exactly was being shared about you.

The author believes we really don't gain from surveillance on a national level. But it does pay to keep an eye on those out of country.

Americans think it is more important who information is shared with. While some think its more important as to what is shared

Fewer guns, fewer gun-related deaths. A simple enough concept, so knock-you-over-the-head obvious that it practically begs for an equally blunt -- if totally oblivious -- response, one made by plenty of pro-gun rights advocates: that more guns make us safer. But a look at the social science literature surrounding the U.S.
