DBQ 19 As of the 1970?s, the United States had been faced with economic and social turmoil., The Vietnam war, lasting from 1965-1975, was a controversial issue among many Americans. Most argued that it was not a war the US needed to be involved and ultimately wasted money and resources. Former President Nixon faced confrontation over the Watergate scandal as the economy under President Carter?s administration continued to decline. These conflicts created a mistrust between the national government and the American people. In 1980, Ronald Reagan is elected as presidents in hopes to improve the nation?s economy. The Reagan administration was overall effective in addressing the domestic and foreign affairs presented to them.

More Guns, Less Crime

Should More Gun Control Laws Be Enacted? The United States has 88.8 guns per 100 people, or about 270,000,000 guns, which is the highest total and per capita number in the world. 22% of Americans own one or more guns (35% of men and 12% of women). America's pervasive gun culture stems in part from its colonial history, revolutionary roots, frontier expansion, and the Second Amendment, which states: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Without a government to protect people from each other, it would be nearly impossible for people to live out their natural life.
