The Cyclical Nature of the Gun Rights in the United States
The gun-rights debate in the United States is as old as the United States as a whole and will likely outlive all of us. To Republicans the right to bear arms is enshrined in the Constitution and is a matter of Tradition and Individual rights, some republicans may also compare the right to use guns as a cultural difference between the United States and much of the world due to America being born out of a Revolution against the British.

Legalization of Abortion:
Abortion is a highly controversial topic. There are many people who feel that abortion should be illegal, while others believe that it should be legalized.

Roe V Wade
Allow me to make one thing perfectly and undeniably clear: I am 100% pro-choice. Not just in regards to a woman’s right to choose about pregnancy, but as Americans, our freedom to choose about everything. Frankly, I think the general public, our society, and our government have continuously, and even more dramatically as of late, over reached. Instead of fixing problems and taking care of situations they are taking away our freedoms and expecting it to fix the issues. The overturning of Roe v Wade is just the latest example of this.

#Wear Orange Day
The first Friday in June is #WeWearOrange day and is also National Gun Violence Awareness Day. Orange traffic cones alert motorists to proceed with care. Orange hard hats guard workers from dangers on the worksite. Bright orange signs warn of people working on the roads, protecting them from speeding drivers. OSHA designates orange for toxic and/or corrosive solutions, alerting users of potential harm and reducing poisoning. Orange is used on the parts of machinery that could cut, crush, maul, or shock a person. 'Safety Orange' is a designated color that is used to set things apart from their surroundings. Orange is the color worn in the woods during hunting season: a bright and vivid color used to protect the wearer from death by shooting.

In Memory of America, On This Memorial Day
On Memorial Day 2022, I’m not mourning those I’ve lost within my family, friends who have passed over the years, or even the veterans who have served. I’ve done that for many years already. This year, I’m mourning the loss of the country I once knew and loved.

A Moment of Silence
On May 24, 2022, twenty-one people in a small town near El Paso, Texas, lost their lives. Of these, nineteen were elementary school children—too young, one would assume, to have done anything which would have warranted such a violent death.
