North and South finally coming together, or maybe not?

Today will go down in history as the day North and South Koreans came together and finally agreed to work for peace. Ever since 1953 when the Korean war ended the people of the world have watched warily for what would happen between the separated nation. For the past couple decades, North Korea had come into the spotlight with their nuclear tests, and threats. Kim Jong Il's death handed the dictatorship to his son Kim Jong Un. People hoped for a change, but it was eventually more of the same sort of leadership. Our own president Donald Trump just threatened North Korea not too long ago saying, "North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States, They will be met with fire and the fury like the world has never seen." How have we come from a state of issuing death

threats to one another, to a peace agreement? It makes you wonder if North Korea is being completely genuine in their offer of peace and denuclearization. 

As someone of Korean heritage, I am anxious for North and South Korea to become whole again, but I am also scared that the South will be taken advantage of. I asked my mother today who comes from South Korea, and she said that Kim Jong Un is lying to South Korea and is using the peace agreement as a way to further infiltrate the South and that the South Korean president Moon Jae-In is an undercover communist who is working with Kim Jong Un. This might not be all that farfetched after all weirder stories have happened to be true. We will just have to wait and see as North and South Korea will continue to have talks in the future. 

The question remains though, what should the United States be doing in all of this? Should they remain outside of the discussion and let the torn nation work things out; or should they be completely involved? I feel the United States would do well to let South Korea handle the discussion. The United States I feel can only do harm in this situation, they should just be the big brother and watch from afar. I really hope Kim Jong Un is being genuine in all of this, but you just can't know for sure.

I wrote a reply to a post on:

Trying To Understand Our Government

I completely agree with you, how could people even think that the people of America would give up their Second Amendment Rights? I wrote an article similar to yours about the need for more counseling, and mental health awareness in schools. Students need a counselor, adviser, or therapist. It would be extremely hard to get rid of the Second Amendment, the best we could do in the mean time is reform it, and as you said, "put a few steps in place before you're able to purchase a weapon like a psych evaluation and maybe provide a legitimate reason of purchase." I'm pretty sure though if the shooter really wanted a gun they could just purchase it illegally though. Mental illness is very serious and is almost never diagnosed in school time. We should increase the age at which you can buy these weapons, also we should have a database for these people who fail a psych evaluation to never in their life be able to purchase a firearm.
