On the contrary‚ opponents of gun-control laws claim that it is useless to prevent violence by regulating guns. In fact‚ law-abiding citizens are already permitted to carry concealed weapons in forty states with gun crimes rate remaining the same (Wright). In my opinion‚ with guns thousands of citizens could save their lives. Just like Jessica‚ they gain courage because guns are available to them when emergencies occur. Also‚ in many campus shootings‚ professors and students could not defend themselves

Teenage Driving Laws. Does shuttling teens around until they are 18 sound appealing? The answer is no. Despite the maturity level of teenagers‚ the driving age should remain the same because any driver could be reckless‚ kids could rely less on their parents‚ and teens could learn responsibilities that they need for future references. If the driving age stays the same many teenagers could rely less on their parents. Some teens have parents who work constantly so that could limit them from doing

In my opinion I believe that teens should not have curfews for three reasons. My first reason that I believe teens should not have curfews is because of projects. Projects are very important to students because the project may consume a lot of time to work on. Sometimes teens only get a few days to work on the project and may be due soon.

This is what happens when stuff isn’t fair.

Students under the age of seventeen have a curfew of 10 pm Sunday through Thursday and 12 am on Friday and Saturday. The curfew ensures that all students should have no business in a public place or out on the streets late at night. There are obviously some valid reasons why this is enforced and I am completely in favor of this decision. Many dangerous kinds of people come out late at night to see if they can get kids into some kind of trouble. Kids get kidnapped‚ raped and killed out in the open

10:00pm curfew on weekdays and midnight on weekends. This may sound like a good idea to many council members as a way to cut down on juvenile crime‚ however how is just a curfew going to stop them if they clearly don’t care about rules‚ also‚ many teens now work late on weekdays and often get home past 10pm‚ and setting a curfew for teens is the right of their parents‚ not council.
