Prison thing
I don't relly think that a woman who has a child in prison should be able to raise it while she is in prison. I don't really see anything wrong with her raising it once she gets out but she should not do it while in prison. Raising the child in prison could only disturb it and possibly ruin it's life. Prison is not a good environment to have children. While the mother is in prison the child should go to a foster home to wait for the mother to come out and claim the child if she wants to. I really don't see how she even possibly could keep it with her in prison. It doesn't seem likely that the child would live in the cell with her. I think that she could send the child to live with family at least assuming there is some. Even if she could raise it in prison that would be a bad environment for it to live.

Gun Control
I think that gun control is an inane proposition. Guns play an important roll in many peoples lives. People say that guns kill people and that they're dangerous weapons. First off they are more so tools than weapons. Sure guns can be dangerous and in the wrong hands they can end lives but that is a small price to pay for keeping guns. Some people believe that gun control or taking guns away all together will greatly decrease crime but i disagree. Criminals will not stop just because they can't legally get guns. Criminals will still have access to illegal firearms and when they do, innocent citizens will have no means to protect themselves. Even if criminals couldn't get guns, then they would switch to another weapon like knives. Taking away guns won't decrease crime but more likely increase. Criminals will see people sleeping in their homes as easy targets because they don't have the good ol' twelve gauge under their bed anymore. Often the thought of homeowners with a gun in their hands may be enough to deter anyone from breaking in. There is also the more obvious reason for us to have guns and that is the 2nd amendment. It basically states that the people of the United States have the right to bear arms and those rights will not be infringed. It is perfectly clear as a right and can't be taken away. Gun control should not even be discussed for any citizen should have the right to any firearm he or she chooses.
