Gun Control: More Or Less?
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 420.... what is done with their products? The companies make the guns for law-abiding citizens and cannot control whom the products are sold to. Suing a firearms corporation is like filing a lawsuit against the Toyota and Jack Daniels Corporations when someone becomes intoxicated and kills another in a drunk driving accident. Why not sue McDonalds when somebody eats too many Big Macs and becomes extremely overweight?
Still some extremists call for an outright ban on all firearms. Not only is it extreme, it is also a step in the wrong direction. Criminals would still find ways to .....

Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 786.... employment, financial
resources, character and mentality, having resided in the community, conviction
records, and record of court appearances or of flight to avoid prosecution or

profits associated with dealing. In a drug community, the drug dealers are seen

Should Juveniles Be Waived To Adult Court
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 937.... time were: Kent v. United States, In re Gault, and In re Winship. Since the time that these laws were enacted, the number of juveniles committing violent offenses has risen dramatically.

Legalization Of Marijana: For
Number of pages: 9 | Number of words: 2474.... admit they have smoked marijuana.
We should begin to reflect that reality in our state and federal legislation,

It cost less .....
