If you read the newspaper or watched the news There’s always a story of someone getting shot or a shooting that took place, if you are like me you’re probably thinking to yourself, what is going on in America right now? The worst part about it is the fact that most of them are young African American teens. This problem keeps growing instead of decreasing. Our streets have become a battle field for thugs and gangsters to settle their disputes. We can’t allow this problem to continue growing, we…

The Future of America. I believe that Hillary Clinton should be our next president for the following reasons: education, gun control and education. As Hillary Clinton once said, "I want you to know, I've heard you. Your cause is our cause. Our country needs your ideas, energy, and passion.” Hillary Clinton stands for the people and wants us to come together and fight for basic human rights. She is the best candidate for president because her words inspire people to improve America…

There are two main themes in this book: violence is never a smart solution for your problems and bullying is never acceptable. It is clear that this book centers around violent events; we understand this simply by reading the title. With all the terrorist attacks, as well as school shootings recently, many people are afraid that firearms are becoming an increasing threat to our safety and well being. Gary and Brendan initially believe that violence was the best way to stop all the bullying they…

No Guns on College Campuses On April 2007, one of the deadliest killings in the history of our country occurred on the college campus of Virginia Tech. A student killed dozens of innocent students and wounded many more. This incident had caused there to be a nationwide debate on whether concealed carry should be allowed college campuses. The argument was that with concealed carry campuses will become safer even though, classrooms should never be a place for guns. Guns should not be allowed on…

Thank you all for coming to the presidential address. Today’s date is the 14th of December, 2016. Today marks the 4-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook Massacre that took place in Connecticut. We are gathered here to commemorate the lives lost on this day. The 28 lives lost, the 20 innocent children’s lives. Children who because of that man aren’t able to fulfill their potential. Aren’t able to live out their lives, aren’t able to contribute to society. For those unaware of the event, on the 14th…

“On guard, Rainsford!” General Zaroff said zealously. Rainsford’s logic had left him and was replaced by animalistic rage as he took the first swing at the General. The General recoiled without flaw while reaching for his pistol. Rainsford took note of this and braced himself for the struggle that was about to ensue. He staggered back for a brief second before regaining his balance and looking back at Zaroff who was now holding his pistol at arm’s length right towards his head. “I regretfully…

A bulletproof vest can stop a certain bullet at a certain speed depending on how much layer the vest has. The person wearing the vest may block the bullet but may still suffer injury due to the bullet pushing you back. When the bullet hits the vest it disperses the round energy making the bullet slug to minimise blunt force trauma. A Bulletproof vest is made up of a lot of layers of tightly woven material to help protect the wearer. How body armor works: While wearing the vest,…

With the enactment of House Bill Eleven or as many call Campus Carry in August 2016, I felt it was time to talk about this once and for all, but not on the lines of conservative or liberal. It will now be legal for anybody twenty-one or older with a concealed-carry permit to carry a handgun on campus this next August. For many this is a scary thought because of the numerous school shootings at campuses across the country. In fact I know that whenever there is a threat to campus, it usually…

People Like to be prepared for anything however nobody wakes up in the morning and says,”I am going to be a victim today”. If you are one of the groups of people who just do not care about the ability to carry a concealed weapon because it does not affect you, it does. People fear what they expect but don’t fear the unexpected, people run for help or call the cops if someone is breaking in their house, people are ignorant and are willing to do anything if they are in dire need. We do not wish…
