A logical assertion can, and is, made that certain background checks are desirable in order to decrease the amount of deaths caused by guns. However, we need to understand the effectiveness of these checks, that many who want a gun will go to any means to acquire one. In a study conducted by Daniel W. Webster and Jon S. Vernick of John Hopkins University, over 80 percent of criminals evaluated were not lawful retail purchasers of firearms – as most acquired their weapons from sources such as…

Campus Carry Facts Campus carry, also known as S.B.11, may seem like a peculiar thing to need while on campus because colleges are supposed to be safe environments for students to receive knowledge for their future careers, but may be necessary. The new S.B.11 allows licensed gun owners to bring their weapons on campus and have the guns with them. Although being armed is allowed in certain areas they are not allowed everywhere on campus according to the campus carry policies. The purpose of…

Should Guns Be Allowed On College Campuses We have been hearing about gun related violence across the country in recent years and some of the occurrences have been at schools. Many people question if our schools because of these events.

*TRIGGER WARNING* [pun not intended] Cops and Guns: "In Norway, Iceland, New Zealand, Britain, and Ireland, police officers generally do not carry firearms. In one of these countries, Iceland, it’s legal for citizens to carry guns—and roughly a third choose to do so." Why do cops need guns? You can 't tell me it 's because we have guns because Iceland manages themselves fine. Also, why is training so short, in Norway it takes 3 whole years to become a cop, some places in America are starting…

What would happen if we banned guns? Would the crime rate increase? Would we start losing other rights that are in the constitution? Would our country begin to be run by criminals and foolish people? I don’t want to find out and I don’t want to live in a world where those happen. I believe that if we ban guns, it would lead to worse things down the road; people would be frightened if they understood what they would be losing and those people won’t realize until they are in a situation where they…

Most people would disagree that there is a need to allow guns on school campuses. According to Brady Center the author says “Rather than making anyone feel safer, allowing students to possess and use firearms on college campuses will likely breed fear and paranoia among fellow students since no one will know whether the other person can simply retrieve or pull out a gun if a dispute arises”. This quote shows that rather than making it safer for students, they would feel more at risk than before.…

There were many weapons in Medieval times, but some of the most effective were long range weapons. There were many types of long range weapons, the most influential were the longbow and the crossbow.

These weapons may not have been as effective but they were much cheaper and easier to use. How were long range weapons made? Two main weapons dominated in the Medieval…

What do you think is the most notorious crime in American history? I think the most notorious crime is a felonious homicide. The gun shooting is definitely more common but threatening among the acts of murder. I believe that the United States needs to strengthen a gun control because it is a key to reduce the death rates. There might not be much things that we can do about it, in such as a country where the parents murder their children and the children murder their parents that is currently…
