In our last English lesson our English-speaking student told us some interesting information about the right to bear arms. This means that every American is allowed to carry weapons. There is one reason why the Americans want to protect their right to bear arms - the American history.
When the Americans became independent they had do struggle against the British government. Since then the Americans want to protect their right because they are still afraid that the government may become bad again.
Also the cowboys who went west carried weapons to fight against the Indians and animals because in the middle of America was no police. This is called frontier life.
Guns have the least support in urban and industrialized regions because people help each other when they need something or they go to the police.
The Americans in the cities have a stereotype of the people in the middle of America. They call them "rednecks". These rednecks are uneducated, poor, fat, drink bear, smoke and also have guns.
Farrah also showed us a video on "Youtube". It was about the Arizona shooting. Last week a young man shot a congresswoman into her head. The possible reason was the health care bill.
In my opinion people shouldn't be allowed to wear weapons.
