Quite often, disagreements between people concern issues reflecting societal conflicts. Currently, American society is engaged in numerous conflicts focusing on “gun control” legislation at state and federal levels. These issues may permeate down to neighborhoods, and even families, where differences of opinion exist on the availability of guns.
