  1. Hi everyone!
    To begin with, I’m interested in the gun issue in the USA. Indeed, Donald Trump doesn’t want to remove weapons from Americans.

    Moreover, the video is about the « March for our lives », a demonstration two weeks ago. Indeed, students were the most important people because only the youngest can convey and spread a message to the government. Besides, students wanted the president to protect their lives instead of guns. However, Trump wants teachers to have guns to protect students and themselves.
    This video deals with the problem of lobbyists in the USA. One should not forget that David Hogg, the organizer of the « March for our lives » tried to convince the others and Barack Obama also fought against the gun control.

    All in all, to my mind, it’s important not to carry weapons as it is dangerous nevertheless, the gouvernement won’t accept the students’ proposal.

  2. Hello,
    To start off, this video is about one of the most controversial subjects in the world as of today, gun control.
    In the video, we see that gun control is often at it's maximum right after some kind of attack and it is quickly over in just a matter of days. The video also shows us the part that teens play. American teenagers are the ones that will be making a difference.
    They use social medias as a platform to expand their thoughts and opinions.

    I'd like to conclude by saying that this problem is not an understatement, the US Government has to seriously take matters into their own hands because they can't
    allow themselves to let any other lives go.

  3. This video talks about gun control in USA. It shows that mass shouting create the debate but people forget about it quickly.
    Politicians manage to keep gun control in the news spotlight for a long time only using tricks to maintain interest. However it is a fact that as time goes the interest vanish. The are few exception, for example, in the Parkland mass shouting students were able to maintien public attention on this debate, thanks to social media. The were also claiming their intention to be safe at school, this was done avoiding any political association. They maintain the debate on gun control in the top news longer than ever.

    In USA, the NRA is very powerful. It influences, the gouvernement thanks to lobbying and economic support to various senators. Because of that, the laws didn’t change since a long time. Barrack Obama tried hard to change the law, but the NRA was stronger than him.
    Today, public opinion tries to change but in USA, a lot of American loves to detain a gun, a rifle... The actual president, Donald Trump, disagreed with Obama and he will certainly not continue to attack the NRA as Obama did.

    To conclude, I think that in USA, the gun control is a very difficult issue. The NRA is very powerful but I think that people have to fight against it to promote safety. Pro-guns claims that guns do not kill people, but only people can decide to kill someone else .By reducing the number of weapons the risk of mass shouting happening will certainly also decrease, and make USA safer.

    1. Sorry I made some mistakes.
      I forgot « es » in the word « vanishes »
      I forgot the « s » in « exceptions »
      I wrote « The were also claiming their intention to be safe » but I had to write « They also demanded to be safe ».
      I wrote « The laws didn’t change since a long time » but I had to write « The laws haven’t changed for a long time ».
      Finally, I wrote « Barrack Obama » but I had to write « Barack Obama ».

  4. Hello everyone,

    First, I’d like to say that gun control is a subject that is really talked about since the shooting in Marjorie Douglas Stoneman High School in Parkland, Florida.

    This video is about gun control. It shows that a lot of people google search “gun control” after mass shootings, like in San Bernardino in 2015. But after a week, nobody searches it, except when political leaders keep gun control in the public spotlight.
    However, after the shooting in Parkland, gun control was a subject that stayed longer in the spotlight, especially the day students demonstrated in the streets and the day Donald Trump got involved himself. This time, innocent students were attacked for no reason, and it gives them a lot of power, and that’s why the subject stayed longer than other shootings in the spotlight. It also did thanks to the use of social media.

    I hope that politicians will do something about the gun laws in the United States, but I don’t think they will do it because the gun lobby is too powerful in this country.

  5. Hi everybody !

    This video is about guns control in the U.S.
    First of all, it is said that people are interested in guns control just after an attack but forget about it very quickly. In addition, the video shows that the youths have a very important place in this issue because they are the only ones who can convey a message to the government. Moreover, young people use social media massively to express their opinions and therefore manage to keep public attention.
    Finally, students asked the President to make them safe at college without supplying guns to teachers.
    To conclude, In my opinion, U.S. government should take this issue as a top priority before others attaks take place.

  6. Hi everyone,
    The video is about "gun control" in USA.
    I'm really chocked that american can buy weapons when they want, but I'm litteraly devastated when i see that american want to arm teachers / professors. I just don't understand why the american government don't want to forbit weapons.
    I think weapons are the principal problem of terrorist attack in USA.
    The government and thepresident said that weapons can protect people but that's not true.
    Moreover, we can't solve the problem of violence with violence.
    I hope that youths americans will win the fight against "gun control" because just them can win it.
    This is crazy, the world is really going wrong. At the moment, I'm really worried about the future of the world.
    The fight against "gun control" is in a good way for some states, cause they saw after a terrorist attack that sell weapons wasn't the solution.

    1. Hello everyone,
      I made mistakes in my text.
      It's not "choked that american" but "shocked that American"; not "american want"but "American wants"; not "american government" but "American government".
      It's not "forbit" but "forbid"; not "USA" but "the USA"; not "youths aamerican" but "American youths".

      Sorry everyone and thanks you

  7. Hi everyone,
    This video deals with the strong debate that now doest exist in the US about gun safety and protection : the gun control. It shows especially that the power of student and young victims is now well heard. the victims are very young in the universities and colleges and the movement of young people grow up strongly to ask to stop arming murderers. As I'm concerned, I'm totally against have weapons at home because it's so dangerous to give for example a gun to a person we don't know his or her intentions. We don't know what will be the used with it weapon.

  8. Hello,
    The right to own and carry a firearm is guaranteed by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.

    I think it's very disturbing that americans can buy weapons when they want, and can keep them in their homes. Furthermore, Donald Trump wants to arm the teachers. It could be a good idea if a terrorist come to school and maybe the teacher can protect his students but we don't know the teacher's personality, he can be dangerous.
    Even if the students demonstrate, I think that Donald Trump doesn't listen and that he only takes his opinion into account.

    Firearms control has met with considerable resistance in the United States: the lobby of the National Rifle Association (NRA) advocates for the right to detention. About 300 million firearms are owned by private individuals in the United States.

    To conclude,I hope this situation will improve for Americans because in fact, in 2005, firearms are used in 9% of violent crimes and 26% of theft in the United States.
    12,632 murders were committed with a firearm.
    613 people were accidentally killed by firearms in 2007.
    More than 2,000 miners have been accidentally killed by firearms in the last ten years.
    Firearms suicide rate is 57%, the highest in the world

  9. Hi everyone,

    Today, Guns control is a big debate and a real issue. The president Donald Trump doesn’t seem to find any solutions.

    This video is about gun debate. Should we control guns and forbid it in America?
    People and the government are reacting right now to the gun attack that happened in a School in Parkland, Florida.
    People forget really quickly guns debate after a few weeks but the young generation found a way to maintain the public’s attention. This video shows us that students are keeping the actuality of guns in America thanks to social media. They are demonstrating, sending hard messages and are demanding to stop providing weapons to murderers.

    To my opinion, we should stop using guns in USA because it’s really dangerous. If the number of weapons is reduced than the probability of mass shooting will be reduced too. Moreover, the population would feel safer.

  10. Hi everyone,

    This video is about "gun control" in USA.
    It's a debate that is gaining more and more fame in the United States especially since the attack of a high school in Florida.
    In this video we can see that people are interested in this problem only after the fact. The American government thinks that carrying arms helps to defend oneself, but this is not the case, it even increases the terrorist attacks.
    Young Americans are trying to win the gun control so that these acts can cease.
    Moreover, the people killed are only students, young people who have nothing to do with it.
    As im concerned I think that the wearing of weapons should be banned because it is too dangerous, we can not predict the intentions of each.

  11. Hi everyone, today we are going to speak about this video :

    First, the video is about the « March for our lives », a demonstration. The demonstrators were mainly students. They wanted that the president reacts, intervenes. They hoped that the president forbids weapons or that he begins reforms. Instead of that, he authorized the professors to have weapons in schools to defend itself and defend the students.

    Finally, I think it is not the good solution because everybody is in danger. Especially if weapons fall in the hands of bad people.
