· Massachusetts already has obesity.
==== · In Massachusetts if you are caught with an unregistered gun you can be fined or arrested depending how many illegal guns you own. ====

· Massachusetts has the tenth least fast food restaurants leading to less obesity issues in the United States
==== · Part of Massachusetts gun law is you are not allowed to have a lot of hand weapons that can cause serious injury to a human like a switch blade or a bladed num chuck. ====

====__Health care__ The health care bill Obama and his democrats in my opinion is a bill that should be shouldn’t be passed. But recently they have been trying to see if the bill is unconstitutional or not to force people to have health care. The purpose of healthcare in the United States is so that if someone is injured we can bring them to a clean area to have the injury or whatever is wrong with them treated. it also keeps our People from dying at an early age from simple diseases like the common cold or even typhoid which is now easily curable from shots that are developed by our health care programs in the U.S. It is important to the U.S. because we would not be as good of a country because we wouldn't be able to know how to survive and be not sick. ====

__Obesity__ One major issue in the U.S. is obesity the obesity rate in the United States climbs every year. One way people have been trying to stop obesity is eating healthier and going outside for a bit. One very important person that is trying hard to help stop childhood obesity is the first lady Michel Obama. One major cause of obesity is fast food and the economic recession. Since fast food is really cheap and it is really good people tend to get it a lot since the times are tough and they are short on money it is a good way of getting food for their families. But a side effect is that the food is very fattening. Now If we were out of this depression we wouldn't have as many obese people in the U.S. =====

__Gun Law__ I think gun law is a very important issue because if there was no gun control the crime rate would be much higher. Almost every day cops all over Massachusetts have to arrest someone for illegal possession of a gun or illegal hand weapons like a double sided knife or a switch blade knife. the people that are mostly associated with illegal gun are the Gangs. They tend to have a lot of them. Keeping guns on record is very important because if someone is murdered and they can identify the gun they can figure out who did it a lot easier =====
