seized and entered in database. About 3 million American carry guns every day and about 9 million once a month and primary reason of majority is self-defense while there is no imminent danger or threat in most cases. (Nass 2017) (Rowhani-Rahbar, Azrael, Lyons, Simonetti, & Miller 2017) Research has shown that states with stricter laws have less cases of gun violence in general. Currently federal law requires no waiting periods. Only states requiring waiting periods for purchases of all firearms…

say something because they think that the adults won’t do anything about it or if they do, it’ll make the situation worse, so to avoid it they try to find a way out which unfortunately means ending their life. According to Matthew Miller, Deborah Azrael and David Hemenway firearm related suicide rate is 10 times higher in the United States. Lastly for whatever reason, people plan to go to area that have many people inside such as school, theater or malls and go on a rampage. For example in the…

Arguments against more gun control I read an article from the Economist (2016) website reporting that Texas has just implemented public open carry law this past January 2016 as Texas solution for gun violence. I think the rational is to equip law-abiding citizens similar to neighborhood crime watch prevention. They believe in more power to the people than to the government. My analysis from the Economist (2016) web article is that profit and non-profit establishments are having difficulties…

Robyn Cooper - Introduction to Sociology - November 8, 2015 Gun Control and Homicides Harvard Professor Lisa Hepburn stated, “Where there are more guns there is more homicide” (Hepburn). Gun control has become a hot topic in today’s society but so has the crime rate. With guns being so easily obtainable whether legally or illegally, crimes will always exist. But, with the set of some regulations one would believe that citizens would act accordingly and keep crime away but everyone…

“GUNS! GUNS! GUNS!” Did you really think you were safe? Well, you’re not. Firearms are still manufactured, sold, and obtained in Canada. It is fair to say that firearms are not completely illegal in our “peace loving nation”. A complete criminalization of firearms over the globe will benefit citizens everywhere. Criminalizing firearms will reduce death rates, provide people with more security than they could ever imagine, and reduce the universal accessibility to firearms. For these reasons, a…

These days it is a wonder how anyone is still alive. Everyday humans face obstacles that attack their basic right to live. In 2013 car accidents killed 32,719 people in the United States. Luckily the number is on the decline thanks to newer, safer, technology that has been implemented in cars. Crumple zones have increased; airbag technology has come a long way. Car accidents are an unfortunate side to current lives, and it is 100% human error. Why would the population want unnecessary technology…

“Abraham’s Other Son” is a book that answers pressing questions about the Islam faith, while comparing it to Judaism and Christianity. Written by Phillip G. Samaan, this book disproves misconceptions about the Islam faith. The question and answer writing style allows for an easy, yet riveting read. The emergence of Islam begins with Muhammad. He desired to know God because polytheistic worshippers appalled him. His wife, Khadijah, encouraged him to accept God’s calling to be a special messenger.…

“Every man must come to terms with death,” (Paulson, 2007). Death can be defined in different ways. Some would define it as the end of life. Others would say that it is akin to being asleep for after death, we are unconscious and oblivious of the time that has passed. The bible tells us this in Ecclesiastes 12:7, “The dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.”(NIV). When death is near our soul, whether physically or spiritually, is separated and from…
