“Hell on Earth Inside Iran’s Horrible Prison”

The Evin Institute in Iran has a reputation to be a prison of horrible proportions. It has come to be a symbol of an oppressive regime that dominates the government. This prison was built during the reign of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.  In the aftermath of the controversial 2009 Iran governmental elections there were several mass protests toward the established powers. The powers that be incarcerated many protestors without reason or trial. One person who was incarcerated was Marina Nemat who was 16 when she was incarcerated in 1981. When she described her experience she said When you clear the gates, you are immediately blindfolded and brought underground,” Nemat told FoxNews.com. “They take you for interrogation. They take you to a hallway and sit you down. You are there for a long time. If you move or say anything you are beaten. You must sit perfectly still, while still blindfolded, and you can wait for hours, days or even weeks.” She said that then captives were taken to an interrogation room. The object is not to obtain information but to make the prisoner admit that they were compromising Iran’s national security. Political pressure has led to the release of some of these prisoners but others still remain.

"And I'm going to focus on the ones that relate primarily to gun ownership and the type of weapons can be owned. And one is, there is a surprising -- so far -- a surprising recurrence of suggestions that we have universal background checks. Not just close the gun show loophole but total, universal background checks, including private sales." This was what vice president Joe Biden stated on his recommendations on firearm regulation.

The public opinion on gun regulation varies widely based on what region of the country you live in. for example if you live in the upper east side of Manhattan you may find the idea perfectly feasible; however, if you live in one of several small towns in West Virginia you would find the idea outlandish and an infringement on your freedoms. In more rural environment you may own one or several guns while in contrast in a more urban environment you may view gun ownership as a proponent to crime.

Personally I develop my opinion on gun regulation by looking at statistics concerning such things throughout history. For example the crime rate in the Washington District of Colombia has fallen dramatically since 2008 when the Supreme Court overturned its gun ban. The murder rates in 2012 dropped to under 100, the first time since 1963. To go to an international scale we may look at Switzerland. This country has incredible low crime rates and every citizen is required to possess an automatic weapon. I realize this two and two may necessarily make four but in this case it is most likely true. To use a quotation that I heard on the radio “guns do not kill people, people kill people.”

As you all know my name is Stephen Fluckey. I was born on November 18, 1996 in Omaha Nebraska. when I was younger I was far more emotional and hyperactive, I attribute this to my residual biological humanity having a stronger hold on my true self, although even as an infant I was described as not needing any affection. I attended St. Philip Neri Elementary and Middle School in a class of seventeen people on average. After graduating sumna cum laude I, as you all know went on to attend Creighton Preparatory School
