Meditation is also a safe and simple way to balance your physical, emotional, and mental state and more and more doctors are encouraging patients to practice meditation to cure many stress related illnesses. Everyday most of us experience stress in many different ways and I believe many people are simply not aware of how much stress we actually hold on to.

On December 17, 2012 Jesus Manuel Garcia became upset because his girlfriend had broken up with him. Jesus text messaged his girlfriend saying he was going to go to the restaurant he worked at, and shoot someone. His girlfriend called the police about his message but by that time Jesus Manuel Garcia was at the restaurant he worked at, armed. He walked in and attempted to open fire but his weapon jammed. The patrons and employees fled the restaurant to the movie theater next door. Jesus followed them into the lobby and opened fire, hitting a man in the chest. By this time, an off duty police officer, who was working security, followed Jesus Manuel Garcia into the men’s’ restroom. He did not fire at her but because his gun was drawn the off duty officer fired one shot and wounded Jesus, the off duty officer then seized his weapon and arrested the would be killer. Both Jesus, and the man shot were taken to the hospital and are expected to recover. This story was not all over the news, unlike the Newtown shooting. In my belief, it was because no one was killed and the “bad guy” with the gun was stopped by a “good guy” with a gun. Because the media could not use this story as another example to ban or make stricter laws against guns. I do not think that laws should be any stricter to get guns, but the ones in place do need to be enforced.…

The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that gun for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. When it comes to protecting freedom, Americans, including those on the Supreme Court, recognize that personal liberties must often be modified for the safety and protection of others. Yet today’s gun rights advocates constantly cite the Second Amendment of the Constitution, the right to bear arms, when threatened by attempts to limit, but not eliminate, modern-day weapons. Piggybacking on this idea is our right to free speech; it is frequently regulated through obscenity and decency laws. Slander, libel, pornography; we are silenced all of the time. Our rights to assembly and religion are compromised in the process, however.…
As a federal law enforcement officer, I believe in the right to bear arms; however, I also believe that there should be more restriction on who is allowed to own and carry firearms. I also believe that if you do own a firearm that it should be locked up out of the reach of children and should only be used at ranges or hunting. It’s argumentative whether guns are used more for protection in the United States or for criminal events. I believe that there should be stricter qualifications on the ownership and if you want to own a firearm that you need first receive a security clearance and a psychological evaluation in addition to tighter background investigations. As a federal law enforcement officer, I will inform you of some facts about gun control and my personal opinions.…
As mentioned earlier, stress affects not only an individual, but everyone around them. That is why meditating in a community setting is so beneficial. As Augustine once said, "Friendship among men, too, is a delightful bond, uniting many souls in one" (48). In this group setting, everyone has the same goal, which helps them to align their thoughts and achieve a calm state of mind. Another good reason to do meditation in a group setting is for accountability. When meditating individually, one is likely to become distracted. In this group meditation, everyone is dedicated to achieving the same goal. Together, we can have more focused and relaxed…
