We started class by talking about Syria, and how they were involved with the G-20 conference this year and why some US citizens are unsupportive of helping Syrian Rebels.
Then, we moved onto (re)presentations, starting with Gun Control. They (once again) talked about the 2nd Amendment and what that was and how it affected the gun control movement. They talked about the Gun Act of 1968 and the events that spurred that into effect, such as the Assassination of MLK, Jr., JFK, and Robert Kennedy. They talked about the Brady Bill, which was inspired by the 1981 attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan, and required that you have background checks. They talked statistics about firearm ownership/crime use. They talked about the pro's and con's of gun control. Then they spoke about China's gun Control laws and how they compare to the US. They talked about the different kinds of weapons and the Assault Weapons Ban from 1994.
