Eugenics:
Who: Irving Fisher
What: Abortion
Where: USA
When:1920s and 30s
Why: In 90 percent of cases, a positive test for down syndrome leads to an abortion. It is hard to imagine that more expansive knowledge won’t lead to similar forms of prenatal selection on an ever-more-significant scale.
Affirmative Action:
Who: Gratz vs Bollinger
What: issues in education and employment
Where: USA
When: 1865-1877
Why: Affirmative action is a subject of controversy. Some policies adopted as affirmative action, such as racial quotas or gender quotas for collegiate admission, have been criticized as a form of reverse discrimination,

Pro:
-Countries with restrictive gun control laws lower gun homicides and suicides rates than the US
-Legally owned guns are frequently stolen and used by criminals
-would reduce the number of accidental gun deaths
-2nd amendment was intended to project to protect the right of militias to own guns not the right of individuals.
Con:
-Our constitutional right to have guns (2nd) protects ownership
- civilians should be armed to protect their own being and property
-Laws do not apply to criminals there will still be shootings
-Laws restrict/infringe upon the right to own guns for hunting and sports
-These laws give too much power to government
-Invasion of privacy for background checks
-Gun control laws and lower gun ownership rates do not prevent suicides
-More gun control is unnecessary because relatively few people are killed by guns
-Gun control efforts have proved ineffective in past.
