Bruce Willis once said, “If you take the guns away from the legal gun owners, then the only people who would have guns would be the bad guys (Willis). That perception of gun control is stated very clearly, and accurately. Criminals all have one characteristic in common. They don’t follow the laws. Yet some believe law abiding citizens should lose some of their rights because of the actions of those unlawful citizens. They are wrong. Gun control is needed in our country to ensure our safety, but…
Do Guns Kill or Save? One bullet, from one shot, from one gun, is all it takes. One small little bullet travelling so fast, that one cannot see it coming. This little bullet propels itself toward a body, and when it hits the body and pierces the skin, a whole life can change.

Is the problem with gun control the people or the guns? Gun control supporters say that it is the guns that cause the problems and that they should ban them, but what if more law abiding citizens with concealed carry permits could actually reduce the crime rate. “Today, the number of concealed carry permits is the highest it’s been, at 8 million, and the homicide rate is the lowest it’s been in four decades, less than half of what it was 20 years ago” (Goldberg). “To tell the truth we don’t see…
In the short story, the setting was never clearly said. It is assumed that the safari is taking place in Kenya because of Wilson said something about Nairobi that they are somewhere in the plains. That author, Hemingway, set on a safari around 1935-1936, thus, it makes perfect sense that he chose a setting based on his safari. The setting, in Kenya, is somewhat foreign to Francis. He is used to living the “American life” with all the conveniences and luxuries that come with it. Along with lions…

But should these states and others really be giving these life threatening insurgents to irresponsible teens and young adults?

starkly underline the ridiculousness and tragedy of gun law in the United States, then it is hard to see what it could be. At the Last Stop outdoor firing range in the Mohave desert, outside Las Vegas, a slightly-built, nine-year old girl was being taught to fire a lethal automatic weapon, in the form of an Uzi sub-machine gun. Her unfortunate firearms instructor died, after he was shot was shot in the head, because the recoil on the powerful gun was too strong for her weak wrists, and it…
