The New York Times 3/3/18 "Once Banned, Now Loved and Loathed: How the AR-15 Became 'America's Rifle' Ali Watkins, John Ismay, and Thomas Gibbons This article is about the popularity and importance of the AR-15 in America. The AR-15 is one of the most popular and well known guns in America and has become very controversial. For many this gun is a symbol of freedom, but it is also a symbol of tragedy. It discussed the history of the gun and why it was so important. The ban on buying an AR-15 was lifted in 2004. After this it quickly became one of the most popular gun's in America. There where many different reasons that caused this gun to become popular so quickly. It was released when there was a lot of interest in the military and shooter games where becoming very popular. The gun had also become desirable before it was made legal by Military advertisement's and a desire to have something that isn't sold anymore. Because of this the AR-15 very quickly became a very popular gun in America. It had become a symbol of freedom for many. However now it has become well know for another reason. The AR-15 has been used in many shooting and people are now talking about if it should be banned again. After reading this article I feel that I understand why people want to keep this gun so much. Even though I understand why people love this gun so much I still think that it would be better to ban it. It has caused too many death's to be allowed even if it represent's something more for many people. Article I will comment on Cole and Andrew's blogs AR-15

In the final part of the book Michael finishes his fourth and final year as a resident. He gets promoted to chief resident and get a lot more comfortable and confident with his work and his life. After he finishes his residency he moves back to Chicago and get a job at another hospital after his residency is done. If the story did continue it would show what his life is like now that he is no longer a resident. Based on what we have seen he will probably get used to his new job and make new friends pretty quickly. I think it would be interesting to get a prequel of this book. I would like to know more about what medical school was like for him and think it would make an interesting book. I really liked this book and learned a lot from it. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in surgery or the medical field.
