Guns

          White people will someday be the minority in the United States; we can expect white privilege to decline, increased gun control laws, and powerful groups like the NRA to lose their influence in the political theatre. Right now white people  can get away with almost anything, now compare white men to African American men, if a white person steals they will usually get a fine, now if an African American steals they will get a fine and be put in jail and treated very poorly.  This makes other minorities angry. So this causes people to riot or shoot others to get what they want. Why does our world have to always resort to violence? Yes the NRA is all about the second amendment, being able to bear arms. I think when our fore fathers created the amendments; they didn’t figure that it would get the violent. It seems like everything we do have to involve guns. If someone doesn’t get their way or money, they resort to shooting them to get them to pay. How do you live with yourself after you would shoot someone? Wouldn’t you feel like the worst person in the world but yet people still continue to kill others. Everyday innocent people all over are getting shot. Even with our troops they go over to foreign countries trying to protect but do more than anything.
           Our country today is very racist. If you are not white it seems like you are hated and not welcome. Everyone feels that white’s need to be on top of the world. This started way back when the British came over to “The United States”, they took over the Native Americans.  We took over the Native Americans. We tried to force our ways on them and change them to our ways. Finally most of the Native Americans gave up and fell into our ways. But, some of them did not and tried to rebel against the British. If someone did rebel, they would get shot or hung. Whites have always wanted it there ay no matter what. Minorities have learned just to give in because if they don’t they will get killed or seriously injured.  Why do we have to do this to people? Just because they are different it doesn’t matter we have to treat them like dirt.
             The next was when we started shipping over African Americans. We would go over to Africa and take young men and women, or anyone that could work. Whites would take them and sell them to different owners. The African Americans were slaves. They could do nothing but it. We took advantage of them. We forced them to do the work that they were supposed to do. They couldn’t do their own work because it caused them too much work. So, they had to get people they could take advantage of and knew they could get away with slaves. If someone acted out or tried to run away, the plantation owner or the slave owner would whip them in front of everyone.  Most of plantation owners did not care if they would kill them while they were whipping them.  Not all of the whites were mean to their slaves. Not everyone in our world is messed up and feels the need to be the best.
As time goes on, the United States continues to have issues with other races. I know when we go into other countries we are supposed to help get rid of the extremists. But, in the end it doesn’t happen like that. We go in there and kill anything or anyone in their way. They treat others with no respect. We take advantage of them and have no feelings for them. The military brain washes our troops to go in and kill. With having someone in the military force I have seen this with my own eyes. The media doesn’t show that side though. They only show the good side that the people want to see. We choose to be this way. The government has overcome our world and has no feelings.
Guns have overcome our world. No matter where in the world they have taken over. We teach our children to use guns. The number of guns sales has increased. So has the number of gun accidents. It seems like little kids or teens are finding their parents guns and playing with them and end up firing the gun. Why weren’t these guns put away and locked? Why hasn’t the parents taught their children about the danger of guns and what they can do when not used properly.
               In my opinion, I think our gun laws need to get way stricter than they are now. I am not totally opposed to guns, it seems like it is just way too easy for anyone to get their hands on a gun. I’m not saying that we need to banish guns and no longer have them, we should have them but for only certain reasons. The government should make all gun shops have to have their buyers do a background check. This way you can see criminal records or mental illnesses. If less of those people could get their hands on a gun, maybe we would not have as much violence. This could prevent some of the mass shootings, or drive by killing.
               White people will someday be the minority in the United States; we can expect white privilege to decline, increased gun control laws, and powerful groups like the NRA to lose their influence in the political theatre. By now you can realize that whites want to be on top of the world, but as we continue to see minorities are growing and someday whites may not be on top of the world. We need to treat others the way we want to be treated. We need to treat everyone with respect no matter the color of the skin. Our laws need to change if we want to eliminate some of the violence that goes on in our world.
