    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.

    Sadly, many people do not know about the history of Native American's and the US government. This is a page where one can find some (not all) of the historic events that Native Americans had to go through to fight for their land and rights.

    Native Americans and the US Government have been in an ongoing dispute. Many may be biased to what side they agree or disagree with only because it is a issue that the United States rarely talks about. This gives a deeper understanding of what happened in both ends of the party.

    At a high school named Free State to honor Kansas' anti-slavery past, the Confederate flag waved off the back of a student's pickup truck in the parking lot. When classmates who were offended removed it, the student replaced it and displayed the flag again. It's sparked debate about race...

    Last week's tragic shooting at Mother Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C., that killed nine black parishioners gathered for a Bible study has renewed the debate over one of the most controversial Southern symbols - the Confederate flag. On Monday, a cascade of both Republicans and Democrats endorsed removing the Confederate flag from the statehouse in Columbia.

    Its champions have argued it's a symbol of Southern culture, the historic flag of the South. Critics say it's a racist symbol that represents a war to uphold slavery and, later, a battle to oppose civil rights advances. We take a look at the flags of the Confederacy to sort out the facts.

    Following the shooting at a predominately black church in Charleston, South Carolina, the state is considering removing the Confederate flag from its capitol. But how did it get there in the first place? South Carolina's confederate flag hasn't been flying since the Civil War.

    Virginia has banned driving with a license plate that depicts the Confederate flag - but some in the state are resisting. Around 1,600 Virginians with state-issued Confederate flag plates received a letter last month from the DMV saying they had until October 4 to swap them out for new ones that don't show the flag.

    South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley signed a bill into law Thursday that will bring down the Confederate flag outside the Statehouse, a move that seemed unthinkable only a month ago in this Deep South state that was the first to secede from the Union.

    This can go either way for people with different backgrounds. The flag can either mean independence and freedom but some take it as being different from the U.S. and it is tied to racism even,

    The flag does represent a rebellion against the American government.

    Civic leaders, activists, artists and others are celebrating, marching and paying homage Monday to Martin Luther King Jr., marking the 30th anniversary of the federal holiday honoring the slain civil rights leader. In South Carolina, civil rights leaders planned a march to their state capitol as in past years when their rally highlighted calls to remove the Confederate flag from Statehouse grounds.

    I'm really glad this symbol is being recognized and taken down in other states, especially those with discriminating acts recently taking place.

    I think this is a great thing. Especially considering all of the racial issues we have been having lately through out the country I think this is a huge step in the right direction.

    An Arkansas teen says he was turned down when he tried to join the U.S. Marine Corps because of his "Southern Pride" Confederate flag tattoo. Anthony Bauswell shows his pride in his country upbringing with his tattoos, and to show pride in his country he walked into the Conway Marine recruiting center Monday to enlist.

    Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and his administration removed Planned Parenthood from Louisiana's medicare program and the clinics cannot provide sufficient health care services. Judge John deGravelles is skeptical about the assumption that Jindal's health secretary, Kathy Kliebert, is being used to terminate the Medicaid provider agreements Louisiana has with Planned Parenthood's clinics in New Orleans and Baton Rouge.

    There are immigrants who legally came to the United States and went through the long, treacherous process the right way. Immigrants who have not followed the system are frowned on by the community that came to the United States through the legal immigration process.

    Arizona has tried many things to stop illegal immigrants from coming into Arizona. Some of these things have included adding more police power by the borders, and building a wall. But what we really need to be looking at is stopping the illegal immigrants from getting what they want when they finally get into the United States because then they will stop coming in.
