In the beginning guns were intentionally used by industrialized countries in order to protect their residents and land from anyone who posed a threat. There have been many wars, battles, a and deaths throughout history due to firearms. To this day guns have dramatically changed and are at fault for many of the conflicts the United states faces. In the Bill of Rights the 2nd amendment…

Of the above mentioned arguments, I find the law breaker paradox the strongest argument to diffuse the impulsion that gun control laws are futile. When you hear, “only law abiding citizens follow the law”, your initial response is to agree with that statement, but it isn’t until you reflect on this statement that you come to realize that this argument is barren of reason and offers nothing in regards to the strategy to decrease the number of deaths due to firearm use. If we have this mentality…

United States federal law may stop someone from having a gun or carrying one in public but it really is up to which state you live in whether you can carry a firearm in public. Even with some of these open carry permits they will not count in other states. This is not always true but there is some regulation about where and when you can openly carry a firearm. If the second amendment does include carrying in public, what laws can we put on the carrier or if it doesn’t apply what is stopping us…

the setting was a main factor in the story. A story that I read so far where the setting played a key part of the story was “The Things They Carry” by Tim O’Brien. Throughout this essay I will talk about how the story setting has a purpose that helps the reader understand what the character might go through in the story, how the…

The one his father had bought him in the 5th grade after coming in the top of his class. It was an ugly watch, with its green phosphorus screen, and shiny black and silver plastic bordering, but it worked. It always told the time. Time. What is time? What does it matter in his eyes. It is not the now that matters, it is the future. In his young life, he…

related injuries in the last past years. Obeng organized a questionnaire for students and teachers to see how everyone would feel if there were a gun on the campus. If college students are allowed to carry firearms they are putting other students at risk. College students are not responsible enough to carry guns on campuses without injuring another student or faculty. As stated by Another Push to Allow Guns on Ariz. Campuses “Firearm death in African American youths in 2009 were primarily…

Concealed Carry Laws Some states allows you to carry your concealed weapons without being visible. These laws are terrible ideas for many reasons. Some states will not aloow you to carry at all. Most states require training for concealed weapons. If you carry, always have your permit. Some people use gun for the wrong reasons. Most major cities are high in gun crimes.

Gun control has been an issue that is discussed in schools, political debates and is always a basis for anyone running for the presidential office. Should teachers and faculty be allowed to carry firearms in schools to protect the students? There are always two sides to the issue. Digging deeper on both sides of the issue and to find good clear reasoning is important in order to decide what is right, not just to agree with a political parties opinion.

read by others, should have a deeply personal exercise between the writer and the reader. If the writer has a reaction to an event, the reader should have the reaction as well. In my eyes, Frost is 100% accurate with this claim. In “The Things They Carry” Timothy O’Brien, a Vietnam War veteran, writes about his experiences during the war. He writes these stories as a way of coping with these memories of such terrible times. He writes them as a way for the common person to understand where he is…
