Guns are our first priority

The news article "Do We Have the Courage to stop this" is about how people are trying to cut down on the gun policy. This atricle explains how they want to restrict how many guns people can be buy in a month and the amount of time they have to wait to buy one. They are comparing this to things like cars because they are more hardcore when it comes to driving and having a car than they are for having  guns .They want to stop crazies from getting guns because they are the main ones that are doing the mass killings. I think they should have taken this situation seriously when they first began to sell guns because guns are very powerful and harmful weapons. They should do full background checks on anyone that wants to buy a gun just to be sure that the gun is going in safe hands. I also think you should have to certain  age to own one like 50 and older because no one younger than that should have any reason to want to own a gun.

the deal of Marijuana

The article "Marijuana law just creates criminals" is about how many people are being arrested for posession of Marijuana. In this article they were saying that the police may stop you and search you which is called "stop and risk." They are also saying that most of these people come from communities of color. For possesion of Marijuana you can spend three months in jail and pay a $500 fine. I believe that Marijuana be illegal everywhere because it is not really that healthy for you. I also thought to even be able to have it you needed a prescription from your doctor. Smoking Marijuana is a big deal, so the fact you have it and plan on smoking it or dealing it you should do way more then three months in jail. Also i feel certain people shouldnt be excluded to be allowed to do it because it is wrong.

In the atricle "Low water levels on Mississippi threatens shipping" they are talking about how the water levels are so low it is impossible to get grain and other materials across sea to where they need to go. They were also saying that if they wait too long that  economic losses will sky rocket into the billions. which may cause higher prices of goods down the road. I personally think this a serious situation because a lot of things are made of and have grain in them. I feel they need to find another way to get the goods across sea, even though they may fix the problem temporarily because this problem  may occur again in the future. Too many people depend on this supply of grain for them to not be taking action as soon as possible.
