These people have seemingly perfected a method to get this sense of fulfillment in life.

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 right to conceal and carry firearms on school grounds. For my first point, I assert that guns in school take away from the learning environment in which a…

many people today think military firearms are a cool toy, however the reality is that firearms kill hundreds of people each day and thousands each year and a lot of the time its accidental shootings.

..gunpowder weapons had no such respect for class, and nobles risked death as much from gunshot as did non-noble soldiers.” Nobles feared firearms. Their armor could protect them from swords, axes, arrows and crossbows, but it couldn’t stop a long gun like an arquebus or a cannon. It wasn’t just nobles that were at odds with firearms, common soldiers were also reluctant to accept these weapons.

when handling the gun, which they should not worry about. Arming teachers and school staff and training them on learning how to handle the gun will not make them qualified to provide safety for a school full of students.

Police officers train their entire career to be prepared for dangerous situations unlike teachers who came to school to teach. Arming teachers with guns will cost…

“I have bad news,” said Mr. Bannon. He continued and said, “Our president was shot and killed.” This is what Nancy’s high school teacher said in the middle of class on the day John F. Kennedy was killed. John F. Kennedy's assassination was traumatic around the whole country, if not the whole world. Nancy Zuber was willing to be interviewed on what she thought of the situation.

“On guard, Rainsford!” General Zaroff said zealously. Rainsford’s logic had left him and was replaced by animalistic rage as he took the first swing at the General. The General recoiled without flaw while reaching for his pistol. Rainsford took note of this and braced himself for the struggle that was about to ensue. He staggered back for a brief second before regaining his balance and looking back at Zaroff who was now holding his pistol at arm’s length right towards his head. “I regretfully…
