Robert Capa’s the Falling Soldier was taken in 1936 during the Spanish Civil War with a Leica and black and white 35mm film. The image features a man falling over gun in hand on a hill, supposedly capturing the moment of him being hit with a bullet to the head. He flails backwards supposedly because of the impact. The photograph was first published in Vu on the 23rd September 1936, alongside another photograph of man on the floor. It has become one of the most well known war photographs of all…

Jamie O’Meara Author of the article “Guns, Sex, and Education” devises that parents should educate their children regarding gun violence by teaching them how to fire weapons. Therefore taking the mystique away and replacing it with boredom, He emphasizes that, as a preventative measure learning how to shoot the weapons is integral and should become part of the school curriculum, this is a farce and should be disregarded. The real question is, “Are Guns a necessary evil?” It makes no sense to…

As you are well aware, gun violence in the United States has been increasing and is becoming especially present in Washington. Following the January 26th shooting near Belfair, we have seen 7 more cases of mass shootings in our state alone. Thats over 30 people who will never return home to their families. I never believed that a shooting would affect me, until June 30th, 2016. This was the day of the Mukilteo shooting where a jealous ex-boyfriend went to a house party and killed 3 people, one…

The Rosseau Road Post Office and store closed 11 pm Tuesday, December 31, 1991. However, Francis did not have to step down as Postmaster till 1993 when he would be 65. New pollution requirements would soon force him to get new fuel tanks and pumps for the gasoline service, but that could also be delayed for a few years. However, he was no longer making a profit as his credit card sales were going down as more and more of the summer trade, for years the source of profit, was going to Parry Sound…

11:00am MWF Europe As of 2006 Sweden was barely below Switzerland in guns per capita with 31.6 guns per 100 people, which equivalates to a little more than 3 million guns in the country. Even though Sweden is a very “gun secure” country where there are a lot of regulations and laws for the Swedish, guns are mostly used for hunting and just shooting at a range. There is almost no need for any sort of AR-15s or specialized conceal carry handguns. Hopefully, choosing this market…

Interview Assessment XIII This interview was about Richard Havens; this case added to my understanding about wrongful convictions because it demonstrated how some might not lead to an exoneration. Richard Havens did not have a criminal record, and his background did not suggest being threatening to anyone but rather protecting his community. Mr. Havens had a career working with a variety of corporations; he even worked on the Apollo space shuttle reentry vehicles. Congress cut funding six months…

politicians continue to claim. If people take an extensive look at this dilemma many will draw the conclusion that out of thousands of cases yearly, a high percentage of gun violence is deeply rooted back to mishandling by companies that produce these weapons,…

Criminals are somehow able to buy guns even when the law says they should be prohibited. We need to enforce existing laws first before trying to solve issues by making more laws . Inventing a system of banning assault weapons will be the initial problem. For example, the laws that already associate with this issue are ineffectual. Some of these guns are really just ordinary rifles; therefore it is hard for legislators to successfully regulate…

By Federal law gaining legal access to a gun is a process simpler than a refinancing a family home in the United States. Our government states that under federal law a licensed gun dealer cannot sell any handguns and/or ammo to anyone that is under 21 and can’t sell long arms (Shot guns/ rifles) to anyone under the age of 18 but an unlicensed dealer cannot sell handguns to anyone under 18 and can sell long arms to anyone regardless of age. Everyday there are up to nine deaths under the age of 21…
