Gun control has been a controversial issue in America for many decades, especially the debate concerning the most effective ways to reduce gun violence. We hear stories everyday of homicides, suicides, firearm accidents, and mass shootings resulting in more than 100,000 people being injured or killed per year. In the political arena, there are opposing views on the laws needed to reduce this gun violence epidemic. There is too much political arguing that causes Congressional gridlock, when what is important is to stop fighting each other and start fighting for the common good of the people.

The current refugee crisis is accelerating every day more and more, with countries such as Syria still being at civil war. It is one of the most basic principles of the EU to provide these asylum seekers with the possibility to seek asylum in its territory. As it has become clear from the chapters above, the Dublin system does not work as well as it was wanted to.

In order to have asylum seekers’ human rights in line with international standards, there must be fair and efficient system that distributes the responsibility between the Member States of the EU.
