U.S congress woman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head. This happened in Arizona, a state where guns are allowed in open carry meaning everyone has option to carry a gun as long as it is not concealed.

before the first world nation turns into rubble. Recently, the government has started to put more of an emphasis on the lack of gun laws in place.

As we got into groups and discussed our service sites, it became apparent how important our actions have onto others.

This could be because it is simply written from careful observations as are many of her other short stories. In her short stories, it is as though she tries to transform a common, ordinary world into something that is unsettling and mysterious as was seen in Vandals. Most of her stories found in Open Secrets
