Carry It On

campuses safer. On one hand, the Students For Concealed Carry promote permitting concealed carry on a campus setting for a defense and self protection tool. On the other hand, organizations like Students Against Concealed Carry advocate a banning of concealed carry on college campuses in order to halt the suicide and homicide rate, and create a safer environment (which is expected when a student is at college.) Although some believe that concealed carry should be allowed on college campuses,…

I carry many things. I carry worries, I carry guilt, and I carry regrets. No, I am not the busiest or most stressed out in the world, but I do find myself weighed down by these unperceivable burdens. I carry the stress of school…though it is not that much, and I carry the judgment of my parents. Sad yet true, I feel some sort of guilt most if not all the time. I feel bad when I break a promise or hurt someone’s feelings. Even though I apologize and they forgive me I still feel bad. I feel guilty…

August 1st, 2016 marked the first day the campus carry (S.B. 11) was put into effect in Texas. The law states, “Relating to the carrying of concealed handguns on the campuses of and certain other institutions of higher learning”. Meaning that a licensed weapon holder twenty one years or older is able to legally carry a weapon on public university grounds in the state of Texas. Senate bill 11 has had many proponents for and against it. Specifically, many students and faculty members have cited…

Gun control, it a very controversial topic and its been a very hot topic in the past few years. United Stets of America has lived some dramatic events were the gun have killed people in mass. They always blame the gun for doing the crime but never look into the people who actually commit the crime. It like if the gun grew some legs and went out shooting a lot of people, yet but because of these events that have happen it makes it seem this way. Why do we have such term, several mass shooting…

In “Why Gun ‘Control’ Is Not Enough,” McMahan argues that the United States should ban private gun ownership almost entirely. His most crucial claim is that general gun ownership does more damage to the U.S. than it prevents. Therefore, banning private gun ownership would minimize the amount of occasions where a gun could potentially be used for harm. In this paper, I will reject these claims presented by McMahan because the banning of private gun ownership would not inevitably lower crime rates…

All American citizens should care about the ethical nature in the gun control dilemma because they may be personally effected by the solutions that may be offered by the government in the future, or by the current situation in which gun control laws are in a relaxed state. Mark Gius who wrote "Gun Law and Crime” thinks that “mass shootings such as at Columbine and at Sandy Hook school in Connecticut” (Gius 6) should be reason enough to enact gun control laws. Gius went on to explain that between…

The 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which is the United States law that protects gun manufacturers and dealers from being held accountable for the crimes committed with the use of their sold products. In 2005, the act was signed into law by President George W. Bush. The policy was designed to provide the corporate gun industry protections from the law and public blaming them for gun crimes. However, by taking away the victims…

I think the worst recommendation is not allowing police officers to shoot at vehicles. I think if anyone in the vehicle has a weapon then that vehicle should be shot at. I think it would be best if the officers tried shooting the tires or something on the car, rather than shooting the individuals inside the car. Shooting the vehicle may cause the people inside to use their weapons so shooting at the vehicle should be done with skill and patience. I think shooting a vehicle before the driver gets…

The process for being able to own and obtain a gun should be stricter because it would prevent many firearm related homicides, keep people from illegally obtaining a firearm, and help prevent mass murders. Many mass murders could be prevented by making the process for being able to own and obtain a gun stricter. For example, if Michio Tanaka’s neighbour went through stricter restrictions there would be no possibility for him to get a firearm, which he used to kill Michio Tanaka’s wife. This…

" This is the basis of the argument for CC or concealed carry. Many people are clamoring for more gun control to stop crime sprees. However, history has shown that in a society with widespread weapon carrying, crime decreases. This is due to that when a criminal commits a crime, he is less likely to succeed in his misdeed due to the fact that the townspeople are armed. But the issue is not an easy answer. The party against concealed carry maintains that everyone having guns would lead to…
