Current Events Quiz #5.2
Short Answer:
1. 300,000 - 400,000 people
2. Who Gets to Take on Gov. Greg Abbott, Has the Bush Name Gone from Boon to Bane, and 18 Plus 4 Equals 21.
3. Debt, like students loans keep them away from credit cards because they want to manage their money better in order to avoid overspending.
4. The Shape of Water
5. The idea is to create a sober place to be social
Long Response:
1. I think guns should be more strictly controlled because weapons like assault rifles don't have a need for a place in today's society. Those kind of guns were created to hurt people, with the word "assault" in the name. As Americans, we have the right to bear arms, so of course lawmakers can't completely take that away, but that amendment was also made hundreds of years ago and times have changed. I believe in the saying, "gun don't kill people, people kill people," but if guns aren't more strictly controlled, these "people" can easily get them to do awful things like what happened in Florida.
2. Since Austin is mostly Democratic, I think that people would push very hard for more gun control. But at the same time, a lot of people who hunt, or have been in the military and own guns, live in Austin and/or Texas and wouldn't agree. Even after the incident at Akins last week, people still reacted.
3. I think assault weapons like the AR-15 should be banned because like I mentioned before, there isn't necessarily a need for these types of weapons anymore. I don't know much about guns, but I can't think of any reason someone would feel the need to have an assault weapon. Even for self-defense, you could still get a different type of gun. My uncle owns guns, since he was in the Marines and keeps them for self-defense. Something like that is totally acceptable because he only uses them for self-defense, like if someone were to break in.
4. I've talked to my mom about this issue and we have similar views. We've talked about that the age should be raised to 21 to buy guns. The reason why alcohol is restricted until age 21 is because of brain development and maturity, and if someone can't even drink alcohol yet, we don't they shouldn't be able to purchase a weapon such as a gun.
5. There are many ways to participate in the process of trying to get something changed. I think I'll participate in the walk-out Bowie is having, whenever that is. I would do that, as well as speaking about views online with others because there's a whole world out there, and you can only reach it while being on the Internet. I interact with others about politics all the same and exchange views. I also sign petitions online by putting my email address in, something like that.
