Yes, this country was built on the hardworking ideals of men like Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, and Carnegie (who was Scottish), but their seemingly insane train of…

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.

In September of 2014, a teacher who was partaking in the opportunity to Conceal and Carry on school grounds shot herself in the leg. No one was injured except for her, but next time how can we be sure? In today’s society, guns are the center of controversy. If guns are being argued that they shouldn’t be legal in any setting, why would we promote them in an educational setting with the youth and future of America at risk every day? That is why we negate the resolution that teachers should have…

The second amendment was great because it gave the people a free to carry a gun on them. Most people who carry a gun on then are usually have it for protections, some people get guns for bad reasons.

but some recent scholarship suggests otherwise. Up through the present, historians have believed that the gunpowder revolution in military technology predominantly caused the knightly class in Europe to disappear, because unlike previous ranged weapons developments, firearms took no skill to operate and had the power to punch through the armor of knights. Without the protection afforded by armor, knights had no reason to continue using it. Afterall, it was heavy, cumbersome, and expensive. It…

During the Middle Ages, many weapons were created to help in the winning of battles and unlike today's firearms, they had small weapons such as bows and swords. But as the castle walls became higher and stronger, a new weapon had to be invented to destroy them. This was 399 BC when a Greek historian named, Diodorus Siculus, was the first to document the use of a mechanical arrow firing catapult. The first catapults that were ever built were made in the early attempts to increase the range and…

Even if there are more laws and regulations with guns there will always be a way for them to get into the wrong hands. Criminals will always find a way to get guns and to use them as a weapon. In the journal article Self-Defense and Gun Regulation for All; a majority of shooting cases were in acts of self-defense. I believe as U.S. citizens we should have the right to defend ourselves. I also believe that this should be the only reason…

77% of all violent crime occurs in public places. This means that many people are defenseless against those who have illegal carry.
