    The symbols I see in this weeks political cartoon is Gun Control. After the all the shootings and especially the shooting in Newton, Connecticut Obama saw that gun abuse has increased the number of deaths in guns. Obama want's to put an end to this gun abuse, so Obama is trying to put a law so you can't use automatic weapons. 
    My opinion on gun control is "Yes," I think that no automatic weapon should be own by Public Citizens, only military forces should use these weapons. Since the shooting in Aurora there have been more deaths with automatic weapons. I think gun sellers should be more careful on who they sell weapons too.
      I think the best learner profile that will go well with this political cartoon is "Reflective." I think this because after all these shootings the Public and Obama are trying to pass the law for gun control.

In this political cartoon it shows kids in hands with guns. This Cartoon shows that should kids be put with a test for self-defense with guns? The teacher is teaching the kids on how to shoot guns but the girl apparently can’t hit the target. The boys in this picture think that shooting the guns are very awesome, but the girl seems to have a hard time hitting the target. Can this put risks in kids to have a weapon for self-defense?

In my opinion I think that kids should not have the right to own any weapons. They should not take any classes for self-defense. The teachers should be taking self-defense classes not the kids. I think people are taking it over the limit and thinking that kids should own self-defense weapons, we should just upgrade the police forces in schools.

The learner profile that I think that goes well for this cartoon is “Risk Taker.” I think this because putting a kid with a weapon can actually cause more deaths in kids with guns because they can kill other kids they may not like. No school should have weapons besides the police at the school.

The symbols in this cartoon show The Speaker of United States, John Boehner. John says that the Senate needs to get up and see what is happening to the U.S. John Boehner is just chilling on his couch pretending like he is very busy. He tells the U.S Senate to be ready, but really he is the one who is being lazy. He can’t be telling people to be start doing something, when he is not doing anything.

My opinion is that he should be doing something instead of telling other people to be ready. I know he a speaker of the House, and is second in line to the presidency of the United States following the Vice President in accordance with the Presidential Succession Act. But he has to speak to the people telling that we need make the laws correct and pass them with what the people think and what the government thinks too. He should be a leader not a follower. That makes you be bigger and better, so that people think you are the “LEADER.”

The MYP learner profile that I think goes well with this Political Cartoon is “communicator.” I think this because John Boehner should go out and speak to the public to see what laws can or will be passed. He needs to be communicative with other people think not what he thinks is best for the United States. This can make John Boehner strong, and a leader. He now doesn’t need to pretend he is very busy.
