    “Do you want to check this one? There are no bullets in it. It can’t hurt you.” Ernest handed him the rifle. “Just because everybody in town thinks I’m crazy, is no sign that I am.” “What are you going to do with them? Isn’t it illegal to have this many guns?” He asked and took the rifle, looked at it before placing it on the sofa with the other ones. “It’s not illegal to have guns.

    It all started out unexpectedly. The storm began to get worse, sounds of the storm roared the atmosphere, with rage. Everything felt like a blur. Fog spurred over the plains of the battlefield, it was as if the battlefield was abandoned, because of silence that brought cries to each to each dead soul.

Although some believe that gun control should further restrict the selling of firearms, they actually shouldn’t because they can be used as a form of defence, and citizens have the right, stated in the second amendment, to…

    his old naive self had willingly entered. Allied planes tore through the open sky with kamikazes right on their tails. Gaping holes left in the ground by heavy artillery were full with stagnant water and the rotting corpses of dead soldiers, their weapons bent and rusted displaying a haunting past that time wouldn't forget. Everyday was a repeat of the one before. Everyday people died. Everyday grief and anger hung around the soldiers like a cloud of irritated hornets. There was no escape…

People who don’t know how to use a gun should not be allowed to have/own/procure a gun. This might seem like common sense, but many people believe otherwise and think everyone should be able to buy a…

    is clear, they pose a threat to security of public establishments. I propose that all automatic and semiautomatic weapons become banned, they are illegal to own and purchase.

Because of this the best way to fix the problem is to remove the…

    Fire. The former soldier crept quietly through the town in ruins with his weapon in hand and prepared for the worst. He slipped into a dark narrow alleyway between two buildings as his eyes darted around at town inhabitants fleeing for their lives as the dead invaded their home. He licked his dry lips as he watched the flames engulfing the building he began to call home when the world went to hell. Determination filled his face as he checked his gun for bullets before hiding it in the waistband…
