Travel Last week, I finished the Mont Blanc's Marathon that is a race in the Mont Blanc Mountain. when we started, it was cold almost 47 Fahrenheit but I was warmed up by the adrenaline. I have been share this experience with a friend. It was an amazing week to start holidays.

an incredibly complex issue An incredibly complex issue: Important symbolic killings often lead to attempts at gun regulation followed often by backlashes from gun ownership advocates, hence their fluctuating nature. But might gun control just be treating the symptoms and not the causes. Nowadays the trend is that mre and more people are against government intervention in their lives. In addition to that there is a real lack of trust in the central government because of police abuses. It’s the breack down of the American Dream. However the political context is the main brake of controlling guns. Obama talked about curbng gun ownership. In his term he never did. To this must be added the power of the gun lobby, which are clearly strong industrial group such as the infamous NRA or GOA. They represent an excellent group of pressure against politicians.

America's gun culture America’s gun culture: Today, the connection between personal ownership of weapons and the America’s gun culture remains strong. However, background of terrorism and rise of crime this veneration of firearm has been left. The hunting/ Sporting ethos emerged when America was an agrarian nation in which hunting was a valuable source of supplying food for settlers, guns were a means of protection from animal predators. Acquiring shooting skills was directly connected with survival. With the devolpement of the idea of Manifest Destiny, to carry a weapon was link to protect themselves from hostile Native Amricans and foreign armies. In the late Eighteenth Century, at around the time of independence, America maintained a full time army. The armed citizen soldier carried the responsibility of protecting his country. More recently, the veneration of firearms was remained by the Myth of the westward movement. Let’s take the example of the Westerns for example The Magnificent seven. Guns have also had a front line role in shaping modern US history with the different assassinations: Abraham Lincoln 1865 and so ones. Nowadays the culture of firearm is challenging especially after the different infamous massacres. In October 2012 Adam lanza slaughtered 26 school children. That action provoked a lot more debate on gun control tan the previous such events, but led to no change at all.

gun control Gun control : Since the 1990s, debates regarding firearm availability and gun violence in the US have been really contrasted. In fact two sides are opposed around the issue of gun control. The Second Amendment protects the individual’s right to own and carry and a weapon. They consider that gun it to be a basic, fundamental right. On the one hand, Gun rights supporters promote fire arms for self-defense. The only response against a killer I to arm yourself too. To this must be added that Gun control laws only contribute to taking guns away from the law-abiding citizen not from the thugs. That’s why the gun rights activists consider that nowadays there are already too many guns circulation for much to be done about them. It would make more sense to stop demonizing gun owners and sensitize people on the best use of guns in self-defence, argument often puts forward by the NRA. On the contrary, Japan which has strict gun laws has a very low gun crime. If we take a step back, the 2nd Amendment put forward as the final argument, gun ownership is not an absolute right. Gun control advocates would ban on selling exaggeratedly powerful weapons such as assault rifles, semi-automatic and so one’s… in short the most militaristic weapons. In fact no hunter or person interested in self-defence needs such powerful weapons as are today allowed. The issue is that most gun crimes are committed with ordinary handguns, that are very difficult to legislate on.
