We Need Background Checks And Evaluation For ALL Gun Purchases

Due to recent events, it is now more crucial than ever to consider background checks for guns. They should be considered before the purchase of a weapon because they will avoid future school shootings and other horrific massacres.

Before someone purchases a gun, they should be thoroughly evaluated to see if they are psychologically stable enough to possess such a weapon. By doing this, those giving the guns can be sure that the person purchasing a gun is stable enough to have control over a weapon. This will also help to avoid future school shootings, and will educate those who sell guns to thoroughly analyze a person before handing them a weapon. This will also help those selling a gun better examine a person's history so they have a better understanding of who they're giving the gun to.

If background checks continue to be ignored, then school shootings will continue to occur, and schools will no longer be safe for America's children.

It is crucial for background checks to be addressed because it will help minimize the number of fateful incidents that occur involving guns each day. It will also help those who are selling guns to better examine the history of the person who wishes to purchase the gun. Background checks should become a law, and every employee working at a gun store should thoroughly learn to evaluate a person before selling them a weapon.

By doing this, safety will be ensured and those who aren't fit to have a weapon will be prohibited from purchasing and using them by rights. Background checks are now more crucial than ever in a society where gun control has become a hot topic. Background checks are essential and will ensure a safer environment if guns are given to the right people.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
