Answer:

hi!

Explanation:

Shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Connecticut, on December 14, 2012, which left 28 dead and 2 injured. After taking his mother's life at home, Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 children and 6 adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School before deciding to end his life. It was one of the deadliest school shootings in the history of the United States.

While the police tried to discover a reason for the attack, aggravated by the age of the victims, most of whom were six or seven years old, sparked a renewed debate on the rights of the Second Amendment.

The arms control advocates focused special attention on the weapon Lanza had used. Some semiautomatic assault rifles had been banned under legislation passed by the United States Congress in 1994, but that law was voided in 2004.

Lawmakers pledged to introduce some kind of legislation on gun control in the wake of the Newtown shootings, and the US president. UU. Barack Obama declared that he would use all the powers of his office to avoid future mass shootings. The National Rifle Association responded by defending the introduction of armed guards in all American schools.

More than a fifth of public and private schools in the US UU. They already employed the police or other armed security personnel. The distinctive piece of federal legislation that was inspired by Sandy Hook was the proposed assault weapons ban of 2013.

Submitted by Senator Dianne Feinstein a month after the shooting, the bill banned the sale of more than 150 specific models of firearms, as well as magazines containing more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Although there was broad public support for more restrictive weapons laws, the bill was defeated 60-40 in the Senate.

New things happened during Han times.

One of the most important was the trade that had begun with ancient Rome via the "silk road". There was a demand in the Roman Empire for Chinese silk. That brought new wealth into China, along with gold, silver, and precious gems.

Another was the invention of paper. Paper changed everything! Scroll painting began. Things began to be written down again. So much was lost during the book burnings ordered by Emperor Qin. When the Han took over, people tried to remember and write down the literature and the teachings of Confucius.

Art was encouraged. Craftsman made gold ornaments and jade jewelry. A gorgeous glaze in vivid colors was invented for pottery. Pottery was brightly painted with dragons and trees and scenes and charming glimpses of life during Han times. Chinese paper lanterns first became popular during the Han Dynasty.

In the sciences, great strides were made in medicine.

Education was important in Han times. Public school was started. It was only for boys, but it was free. Schools were started in every province. The Grand School was the big one in the capital city. At one point, the Grand School had an enrollment of 30,000 students! People wanted to learn new skills because jobs were given to people who qualified for them, not just given to the nobles. And people were paid for their work.
