strongest argument I have read is the one Johnathan Aitkens wrote. He explained his view point very politically‚ as well as ethically. The weakest argument I have read was that felons should not be trusted on choosing our leaders‚ because they are angry at the sheriff’s department. Laws should not ban an entire group of people‚ based on one person’s bad decision. This was failed scientifically‚ politically‚ and ethical. After spending an enormous time researching both sides of the argument‚ I still

Consider the argument that people may be acting out of duty/loyalty‚ it seems possible that people will act out of duty/loyalty to a cause rather than another person. Taking care of the environment can be a such cause. This means‚ firstly‚ that that WTP may not necessarily reflect individual well-being. Secondly‚ however‚ it is possible that individuals want environmental policy to take such moral duties into account. Individuals’ WTP for environmental goods is a central concept in environmental

Gun ownership has the capability to positively assist a home occupant during a burglary. A burglar can be convinced to leave the home in the presence of a gun-wielding occupant‚ or a gun-owner can exercise his right to self-defence and harm the intruder‚ effectively ending the home invasion.

Or that having a gun at the time of

When thinking generally‚ no one usually has any objection to this claim until
