In “Get a Knife Get a Dog, but Rid of Guns” written by Molly Ivins, She strongly speaks
out against the use of guns. In this story, there are many times when the writer contradicts herself
when she is trying to prove her point. This story is mainly about how the writer thinks no civilian
should have the right to own a gun. She thinks that regular people are not responsible enough to
own a gun and that is why they should be outlawed. Throughout the story I felt that guns should
be regulated but not outlawed, even though they are very detrimental to our nation. In this essay I
will touch on such topics as: What is protection, why guns should be illegal, the different
between knives and guns, and the saying “guns don’t kill people”.

The children of our nation are left to fend for themselves in the dangerous times we live in.
There are kids who are violated everyday that feel that have no sense of protection.
Besides protection should guns be outlawed and/or illegal? She has not read or
researched everything fully because the majority of the people who have guns own valid permits.
There are laws passed limiting the selling of guns to certain people such as minors and men or
women convicted of a felony. The writer thinks that only a well regulated [military] militia
should handle or own guns. If only the armed forces had ownership of guns where that will leave
the police department? The law enforcement in this nation is a big part of the balance and order
in our nation. The police would not have access to guns because they are the one who upholds
the law and the law would stat that policemen are not to be armed. If criminals have access to
illegal guns and will acquire them, then the police who are lawfully unarmed will have no
protection. This will cause an uneven shift in crime and punishment, throwing off the …show more content…
Although she thinks guns should be illegal and/or outlawed, she also has an unorthodox
belief that it is better to be assaulted by someone with a knife than a gun. This thought is
ridiculous because either way the people look at it they’re being assaulted by a deadly weapon.
She points out that she would like the opportunity to run from her assailant. If she was assaulted
they would have to catch her giving her a chance to run to safety. There is no way you can
rationalize being attacked by any weapon. The writer tried to use humor to take away from the
seriousness of the subject. This let the reader’s know how serious she really is about the subject
of safety.
The three views I stated earlier brings me to the infamous saying “Do guns kill people?”
Molly Ivins thinks that guns kill people and people have nothing to do with it. It is impossible to
believe that human beings have nothing to do with guns killing people. I know for a fact that
guns don’t make decisions and decide who and for what reason they are going to kill. If guns
were never created by people, then people wouldn’t have to worry about them. If guns
