The next topic is gun control, because of how controversial it has been. Gun control has been a recent topic due to the increase in mass shootings over the last couple of years. The benefits of stricter gun

Hi Luke,
I like your post very much. Gun control is indeed a problem. If guns are free, it may pose a threat to the campus, and it may be impossible to kill someone because of anger.

Hi, Luke,
I completely agree that gun control is a severe, controversial issue in the United States. We must do everything to prevent any tragedy happen. To reduce the risks related to guns, we should address the contributors to gun violence and the prevention infrastructure necessary to ensure effectiveness.

Hey Luke I would have to agree that it is hard to make any decisions when talking about a topic as controversial as gun control, so i found this article to maybe get you to think about it on both sides of the playing field. here the link https://gun-control.procon.org/

Luke commented on the post, Should schools limit your online speech
Katie, I strongly agree with your argument that school should not be allowed to limit students online speech. Schools should not have the right to intervene with your personal views especially if your not on school property. I found a presentation that relates to your topic…Read More

Hi Luke, I liked your essay on Gene editing, I thought it was very interesting that one of the articles talked about the idea of genetically modifying children, I don’t know how that would wok out but it is very interesting thought. I think you should consider reading this article on genetic defects and how they could limit the affects, I think you would really like it.
Best of luck

This is an amazing topic to write and read about, due to the fact that this is a leap forward in technology and science. But it does come with some foreseeable consequences in the future. As you said, due to these new “superior” genetics this could cause more issues than it does fix anything. The first problem that would most likely be faced is that something goes wrong, hurting the family and the children involved with the experiment. Secondly, one of the worsted issues in our society is the inequality and discrimination of others. This can make these two issues blow out of proportion. As much as this would be a fantastic idea for medical science, the moral conflict heavily outweighs the positives as of right now.

Hello Luke,
I agree with gun control being such a controversial topic and issue that has arisen in modern society. Guns have become an issue relating to school shootings due to the vast number increase. The only way to eliminate guns is to ban them or put stricter laws on what we can to do make it safer for all. Here is an article regarding it all: https://reason.com/2019/11/20/new-gun-control-bill-encourages-financial-institutions-to-report-suspicious-firearm-transactions/
