33,000 people are killed in gun related incidents, in United States of America alone every year. This is a very staggering statistic knowing that the U.S. is only one country out of the 195 countries in the world today. This is due to several reasons.

Snow made growing food difficult, limited the agricultural periods. And unpredictable weather made transportation almost impossible at times. It wasn 't a practical thing, so it became obsolete when we went to Sameness (p.84).” Secondly; while Hunger Games focuses on the survival, The Giver focuses on the importance of memory and past.

I'm going to be talking about John Colter and Tom Murphy's disadvantages and advantages when they were out exploring. And how hard it must have been on both of them to go out in the freezing cold, by themselves. They had to take care of themselves. It was a cold night up in Yellow Stone, when John Colter was walking around out there all by himself in the freezing cold, he even had to build his own shelter which was probably hard, so when John Colter finally had found such a good spot to put his shelter. He started building it he had a tarp

The hidden carry of firearms can prevent murders or other serious crimes dramatically. In the United States over 2 million self defense cases are reported with the use of concealed carry weapons which outnumbers the amount of crimes committed with guns by about 8 million (Lampo). Conceal carry laws help people that can not rely on police or government forces defend themselves or others.
