2 Nd Amendment Bear Arms
472 words
Dear Legislator, I am writing on behalf of my
thoughts and myself about gun control laws. My
position on this topic is neutral leaning towards
the "No Gun" law. The idea of a federal law to ban
these guns is a good idea, but it could be better.

our country in some kind of way, but there are
exceptions like for law enforcement and hunters.
This law could lower the murder and death rates
drastically. The US would be a whole different and
safer cou...

Civil Liberties And Rights

Civil Liberties and Rights We live in time when
many people in Western countries began to think
that protection of their civil rights could not be

essence of democracy, as socio-political system,

order to avoid this constant battle, people need
to turn over all of their rights and their freedom

from society and expelled from the state. Hobbes

Peloponnesian and was a more isolated culture. It
was dependent upon agriculture while Athens was
cosmopolitan and dependent on manufacture and
