            People in America are scared. Why is this? This is because almost everyone in the United States carries a gun on him/her.  In the United Sates, guns are easy to get.  Gun promotion in the States results in many guns in many homes, and consistently, the blacks get blamed for everything.
This is because everyone thinks they need to protect themselves but it’s gotten too far. A six year old boy brought a gun to school and killed a six year old girl. That is SO sad. They had no idea why he shot the girl but it must’ve been extremely hard for the parents after hearing the sad news. They must’ve wondering why our daughter?? A boy was asked to place all the guns that he had on him on the table in front of him. He had about ten guns. That is ridiculous! There is no need for a young boy to carry that many guns on him. That’s looking for trouble, big time!
            Another reason why the States is so violent is because gun ownership is promoted. This is a real issue! If they want the States to be a less violent country they have to quit promoting guns and bullets. Organizations such as the RNA promote the use of guns. Another issue is that anyone can get bullets and guns at K-Mart which is a local family store. In the movie
Bowling for Columbine, a fourteen year old boy bought out all the bullets. He and one other guy actually got shot. If the people want to live in a less violent country they need to consider many things and this is one of them.
            My third topic is that the blacks get blamed for everything. One of the reasons is because they have a bad reputation and history. This is really too bad because I feel that everyone should get treated equally. A man blamed an African American for killing his pregnant fiancĂ© when he was the one that killed her. Think about it…. Who’s going to get blamed? A man with a bad reputation or a man that has everything going for him? Of course the black man. 
            In conclusion if the States wants less violence they need to change some of their rules and regulations or maybe enforce rules. If they don’t want seven year olds playing with guns and killing innocent people they better consider some things. That’s my essay on the United States being a violent country.

Antifreeze Killer Committed Suicide!
The topic of the Antifreeze Killer is on a lot of people’s minds. A Georgia woman was convicted of murdering first her husband who was a police officer and then her boyfriend who was a firefighter. She killed them by using antifreeze. She later committed suicide in prison by overdosing on her blood pressure medication. There should not be a way for people to commit suicide because they shouldn’t be able to kill themselves so that they don’t have to face the consequences. They should be watched really closely and monitored 24/7.Unfortunately she almost got away with it because no one realized she had actually killed her husband.
 Incorrectly the autopsy results indicated that he had died from an irregular heart beat. But soon after her boyfriend incorrectly passed away from the same results, they investigated the deaths of both men. Prosecutors said the motive for killing both men was for financial. Lynn Womack Turner received $150,000 from her husband’s insurance and pension and received $36,000 in benefits from her boyfriend.
She made some horrible decisions.  It’s very fortunate that the police caught her because no one should get away with something like that. It’s just not right and it’s definitely not fair to anyone either. It was also really cruel of her to kill her husband and boyfriend just for their money. She deserves a huge punishment and needs to realize what she’s done.
Four days after her husband died she moved in with her boyfriend. Obviously she doesn’t have many regrets if she moved onto the next one right away. This is a really sad case and that she just wanted their money. She seems like a cold hearted person.
