Gun safety

What have you gained/learned from this process thus far? I have learned Veterans exhibit significantly higher suicide risk compared with the U.S general population (Kang, et al. 2015). Over the years, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has estimated the veteran suicide toll nationwide at approximately 22 individuals a day (Time, 2016). However, the numbers were based solely on 20 states and did not contain full military records from the Defense Department. Also, the research indicates the…

There was this school shooting at a place called sandy hook elementary school. Which a lot of children got killed it was so devastating. Except if they had a teacher who was trained to with stand a intruder the devastating incident would have never happen. They probably would have stoped the intruder before he could have done any damage. Most people disagree with the subject of a teacher having or holding a fire arm in there class room. I am on the side of I think teachers should be able to…

The Classic Hollywood System is a reference to the Hollywood Studio system, which were a small number of studios that dominated the industry from the 1920’s to the 1960’s. The major studios that profited and controlled this system were the “Big Five” studios which included Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox, RKO Pictures, Warner Bros, and Metro Goldwyn Mayer. The studios themselves used a form of vertical integration and controlled the film industry. Some practices that were done in order…

reload there firearms several times. With black powder guns after each shot there is left over black powder stuck to the inside of the barrel making its circumference smaller. The lead balls were designed and built to be roughly the same size as the barrel of the guns, so as the black powder remanence accumulated in the barrel of the gun it became more and more difficult for soldier to reload. In order to get the bullet all the way down into the gun the soldiers carried hammers incase they had…

The British soldiers were responsible for the Boston Massacre because they used unnecessary means of force and weapons. The colonists were completely unarmed and innocent. They had no weapons on them that was capable of killing any soldier. They also were only nagging at the soldiers and yelling at them, if the soldiers told them to stop they would because the colonists fear the soldiers. The British soldiers fired at the colonists and hit them with their swords. The soldiers had the option to…

“I believe the gun has no power because a gun can only kill but a pen can give life.” -Malala Yousafzai. If a person killed someone they would be dead with no hope, but if you are not dead but very low in life you could read an encouraging book or article and feel better about yourself and your situation. One example where the pen showed power over violence was the Comet Ping Pong incident when some false claims came out and said that Hillary Clinton was going to use children as slaves. When…

Immediately, 4 other men jumped out and pointed their gun at me. My eyes widen, I was outnumbered and Ken never taught me how to shoot a gun. I smiled to myself, I guess this is it. “TAMURA, DUCK, NANODAYO!” I dropped to the ground as the 4 men were shot at their legs and fell to the ground. Guards dragged them away as the rainbow hair color gang appear and Akashi grabbed me, “You dumbass! I told you stay in the carriage! Do you know how dangerous that was! It doesn't matter if you can fight,…

no rush, he opens it slowly, when it is extended to its full length, he takes about two steps onto the porch. He notices 8 police cars and about 14 cops with guns following his every move. “Put your hands up kid.” The officer said casually. Blake puts one hand above him and slowly puts the other behind his back to grab his gun.…

One way I look at this situation is that guns aren't the problems but the criminals behind them are, meaning that there just doesn't need to be a gun control law to solve this issue, but a greater penalty for the criminals. Something needs to be done to reduce the easy access to guns so that felons don’t use them. I know that violence is linked with gangs, and bad influence so some ways I could change this issue…

similarities but the one I will dissect is the juxtaposition between remembering information and wanting to escape the information by using nature as the means to that end. Naming the Parts is about a man having to memorize the parts and actions of a gun. He is probably just joined the military and has to become intimately familiar with an instrument of death and destruction. It is clearly shown in the lines, “And this is the bolt. The purpose of this / is to open the breach, as you see. We can…
