best kids toys for 2010 image

??
help add on to this please. Corrections and add ons. Please... I have this report due Tuesday and I have to present this. Im con for gun control.
Hello, my name is Kaleigh Ray and I am against the resolution. Which is, currently in Indiana firearms do not need to be registered, and you do not need a permit to purchase one. You do need a permit to purchase a handgun.
There have been so many deaths due to guns, some accidental, some not. Even if it’s the one “who’s using the gun” it doesn’t matter. A lot of the excuses used are that it depends on the person who has the gun in his or her hand, but we wouldn’t have to worry if there were more laws against gun control. There will still be shootings, but why not take more charge and stop more deaths while we can?
Endangering children
-In 2010 Indiana had the 18th-highest rate of deaths from the use of guns among children and teens at age 19 and under. Having more laws from being able to purchase a hand gun freely helps prevent situations like this from happening.
-Over the years there have been a lot of incidents endangering children due to the use of guns. A lot of the accidents have occurred, from kids mistaking guns for toys. More than 500 children die annually from accidental gun shots. “Americans own 200 million firearms, and 35 percent of homes contain at least one gun. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention studied and found out that more than 1.7 million children live in homes with loaded and unlocked guns.” Those who own guns need to be more accountable for keeping them out of children and others hands.
-
High Rate of Gun related Crime
-“More than 30,000 U.S men, women, and children die each year from gunshot wounds, the highest homicide rate from guns in the world. Of those 30,000 deaths only about 1,500 are due to accidental shootings.”
-
More background checks
-Having more background checks will help us have more with security. We will still be able to use them, but will be more strict to who we sell them too.
is anyone nice enough to add more in my paragraphs && help correct?? :)
Answer
16 thousand of those deaths are due to suicide. No one killed another person in those. That leaves about 14 thousand deaths a year due to gun violence. Of those 14K deaths, 9 thousand were gang or drug related and most was black on black violence. Blacks are 13% of the population but are 48% of the inmates in jail for murder. Hispanics, 14% of the population, not counting illegals, make up another 22% of the population in jail for murder. So, 71% of violent murders are committed by 27% of the population. If you remove those ethnic groups from the mix, we have one of the lowest gun violence rates of any country, and the lowest of any country that guarantees that citizens can own firearms, both pistols and rifles.
Fact, over 800,000 known, and an estimated 1 million additional violent crimes were stopped by armed citizens. Doctors kill almost 80,000 a year from medical mistakes. Fact; Legal prescription drugs kill almost 200,000 people a year. Fact: you are 15 times more likely to be killed by a doctor than a gun and 40 times more likely to die from taking a prescription drug than by a gun. Watch the below video.
Are you against prescription drugs? Are you against doctors? do you think they should be banned? Car accidents kill more children year than guns, should they be banned?

How much will these Star Wars action figures be worth in the future?
Smarty Pan
I have been collecting Star Wars Vintage Collection (2010-2011) Star Wars action figures because the cards and figures are awesome. Some of these are already very popular and sell for way over retail prices. How much do you think these figures might be worth in 5 years if kept well and not opened.
Answer
The thing with collectibles is you simply never know. It depends on many factors, here are just a few:
- Units in series (units produced)
- Quality of product
- Demand (this fluctuates over time, in 40 years another 3 movies might come out, making these worth way way more at that time)
- Collectibility (do they come with accessories? toys with accessories are worth far more down the road, kids tend to lose them making complete units rare)
Also, 5 years isn't a timeframe to consider for value, if they're going to have value, you're looking minimum 10 years, but usually closer to 20+ (especially with Star Wars toys, which historically go up and down in price based on the current culture around the movies).
