This is a post about guns in America (A project we have in english-class).
The questions and answers belongs together with this video: Guns in America

1. The moderator Lisa's first question to the members of the debate is: Why do people own guns. Write down what Andrea, Maxwell and Jessica believe is the reason for this.
Andrea: A lot of people use them for hunting, sports or stuff like that, protection and of course for violence.
Maxwell: People with small penises own guns, and a lot of the men is insecure in the american society, and gets a gun to feel a lot more macho, harder, tougher and to get the chief feeling.
A lot of people also own guns, because they have fear. He thinks that Americans is a paranoide fatcat, and can get affraid from the little things, like the man behind the corner.
Jessica: She thinks that women own guns, because they are scared, have fear and feel unpowered. A lot of women feel insecure and unpowered when they walk on the street at night. But having a gun isn't the right solution.

2. Jessica says that many Americans want to have a gun because the media and films. Do you agree with Jessica? Why? Why not?
I agree with Jessica, because I think the people can get the fear and paranoide feeling from films. Many people can also be so paranoide, and think that the things that happens in a movie, also happens for themselves.

3. Rhajik talks a lot about the military when he is talking about guns. What does he says about the military and their need and use of guns?
He says that the military protect people with guns, and that they have licence to kill to protect their people. If it was illegal to have guns, the military wouldn't be very effective, and everyone would be scared. It's a quick, easy and lazy way to kill with guns, because it's harder to kill with your hands.
He means that not owning a gun, makes people invisible and full of fear.

4. Maxwell names some facts about guns.Name a least one of them. Comment on the fact.
1,5– 2,3 mio. people in America have bought or sold a gun in a year.
I think that it's a hugh number! So many people shouldn't be able to have a gun, because it's so dangeress for other peoples and themselves.

5. Maxwell says the reason why criminals have guns is because the citizens are armed. Do you think that is right?How do you think it is in Denmark?
I don't think it's the only reason, but it could be one. I think that the criminals are who they are, because of their background, their family or from a bad experince they have hadden.
In my point of the view, many people do not own guns in Denmark. But the criminals in Denmark are who they are, maybe because of group pressure, or the same reasons I said about the americans.

6. What does Andrea thinks should be changed in America's gun law?
She thinks that there should be a waiting period for those people, who seems to be desperate to get a gun, a background.check, so you can see if people are criminal and have training in having a gun.

7. Rhajik says that power should be returned to the people, the individual. It should be totally legal to own guns. No one should rule. We should be responsible for our own lives. What do you think about this?
I don't think that everyone should be able to own a gun. First of all because it's dangeress, and second of all because people have nothing to use it for. We have to be responsible for our own lives, but we sure can do that without the guns! I think that the military and the police maybe can have guns, but in the end I think that guns should be illegal.
It's such a dangeress and brutal thing, which kills a lot of people!

8. In the end of the debate, all the debate members are asked to say in short what they think about guns. Choose at least two of the members and write down their opinion.
Andrea: She would't have any guns in the world, and the people should have an education about having and handling a gun. Also there should be a waiting period, where people really can decide, if they should have a gun. The numbers of guns which is sold every day, should totally be cut down.
Jessica: People should have the freedom to choose having a gun, and we can't just ignore the people, who have guns for no reason. The people have to educate about guns, and learn what the consequences is by having a gun.

9. Lisa ends the debate by giving the americans an advice about guns. What does she says?
She says, that if you're thinking about useing a gun, just think before you get your passion get away with you. Guns can be an excuse for bad stuff, but in the end you're the bad guy.

10. Who do you agree with the most of the five members of the debate and why?
I agree with Jessica, because I think she has the right attitude about the guns, and knows how dangeress the thing is. I also agree that the people should have an education about having and handling a gun before you get one, and that there should be a background-check of people, so you can see if the person has been or is criminal.

Hope you enjoyed it :D
