Early thermal weapons

Smoke fills the air around me. A loud bang echoed through the smoke. Instinctively I ducked behind one of the boulders that littered the ground. A bullet whizzed over my head. That was close. I thought, breathing heavily and choking on smoke. The day was almost over and I was relieved. The day had been filled with fear and stress. We were the Union’s last line of defence. We were the one thing preventing the Confederates for overwhelming us all. If we failed the Confederates would win and all…

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…

Gun Control is not the answer More gun control laws are not the answer to less gun violence, better education is what's needed. Gun control has been a much debated topic in the U.S today. It is people's opinions on whether or not to have less or more gun control laws. There are many important reasons why we need more gun control laws but their are many facts about gun related deaths.This is why the U.S should not have stricter gun control laws because it's not the gun or how the person got the…

Native American Bows Did you know that it was not until 500 A.D. that Native Americans started using bow and arrow? They started using them, for hunting to be easier and faster, started using the bow and arrow because they saw that bow and arrow was more efficient than the normal spear. Not only but bow and arrows actually used less material than spears. With time, Native Americans started upgrading, some of the upgrades were: poisoned arrows, small bows, etc. Fun fact: Spear travel…

The battle between Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump has been heating up since the start. In other words, it's been leading to complications within the society of the American people. Bernie Sanders would be a better candidate because we would benefit more from him than from Trump since his proposals seem worthy enough to support the United States especially with the immigration problem. In addition, that with Sanders leading he would help out the US with it’s problems such as, immigration,…

Gun Control is an strong issue in the U.S, I personally am against it. I think this because we need a way to protect ourselves from criminals or animals. And some may say criminals will not have guns to commit crimes with. Criminals will find ways to get guns illegally. Also people say it’s not fair to shot a criminal if they have a knife, it should not have to be fair if they are going to rob or kill you The United States has 88.8 guns per 100 people, or about 270,000,000 guns, which is…

Gun crimes sadly, in my opinion, are on the rise in our society. Pre-Columbine Massacre, our society had gun violence but it was not televised, on every channel or on every page of the newspaper. Social media has been a huge part of the reasoning behind violence being so open to society. According to the text, the Youth Firearms Violence Initiative (YFVI) was one approach to juvenile gun crime. The U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS)…

occurred in the U.S., but unfortunately our gun laws won’t change and we have to live with the fact that anyone can get access to a deadly weapon like this. There is a way to keep this from happening, and that’s just to change our gun laws. However, as much as they try to do everything to prevent this from happening, the change for our access to lethal weapons like these won’t change. So, that’s why innocent kids have to suffer through the consequences and their families mourn from their deaths.…

Destiny Barrett 4A Recently there was another shooting, this time in Oregon and it was specifically targeting Christians. Our society thinks that if we pass tougher gun laws that it will solve all the issues revolving this. Trump states, “ No matter what you do - guns, no guns, it doesn’t matter - you have people that are mentally ill, and they’re going to come through the cracks, and they’re going to do things that people will not even believe are possible.” I agree with him 100 percent…

Imagine, one of your rights being taken away from you, or being restricted. That’s happening right now. Gun control is being inflicted after the Oregon shooting in a community college. In 2011 a gun was used in 323 murders, that same year a hammer was used in 496 murders (Hawkins). Clearly a household item is just as dangerous as a gun, especially when it’s in the hands of someone who desires to do wrong. Most people don’t understand that you don’t blame the tool that is used, you blame the…
