From my experiences, researching and writing about gun control, I learned many new points of view on the matter. Before our debate on the topic, I believed guns themselves

were dangerous and hat we needed to get

rid of them immediately. However, I was

blind to see how many more lives are

saved by guns than murdered and/or

injured. I also understood why

background checks are so helpless

compared to the devious minds of criminals. Background checks are completely useless as to help prevent mass shootings. They don't                               thoroughly inspect their consumers and many gun                           shootings are caused by people who pass background                           checks. Even more, some gunmen rob guns from                              other people, further questioning the securty of                                 these background checks. 

                        Although many people are

biased into thinking that gun control would

help decrease crimes, taking away these guns

will hurt the innocent law abiding citizens.

Instead, gun control will give criminals too

much power and leave the innocents denfenseless like sheep in an open field. Other than that, writing our articles were fairly good too. We were short on time, so we freaked out too. We also had soe major fail moments. For example, Joseph took a shower an hour before articles were due. Overall, I think we had lots of fun working as a group. I really enjoyed everyone and this was a greatexperience!

Another time, we kept losing Thomas due to miscommunication, then found out that he was working in the suite above us. Our group didn't have the best teamwork but we had a lot of fun with all the silly moments just chilling and chatting.
