years in her grandmother’s garret, Harriet Jacobs’s unique struggles provided her with a distinct perspective on her society. Jacobs’ marginalization granted her the ability to turn the weapon of her oppression into a tool to better herself.

Close the Gun Show Loophole . “If it’s OK to register cars and license drivers, why is it not OK to impose similar legal responsibilities on gun owners?” (Steven King).

Some major aspects about gun control that the public has shown concern about are the legality of owning an assault weapon and excessive ammunition, the promotion of mental health care reform, and the loopholes in buying and selling firearms.
