Unfortunately, there is noticeably little evidence of law enforcement officers being assaulted by citizens. This is because the media chooses not to report on such events. Little is known about these events because--related to assaults on suspects--reports are submitted voluntarily and not all departments participate. Although the rates at which law enforcement officers are fatally injured is slowly diminishing, it still remains a problem in society today. According to Tasha Tsiaperas,…

part of Philip Lombard’s personality. Readers wonder about what this man is thinking in the story. Sometimes in this book the reader could have thought as Mr. Lombard as being the murderer. In the novel, Mr. Lombard was the only person to bring a firearm to the island which already gave him some suspicion at the beginning. Not only that, he would never think of giving away his revolver. “And therefore, will I lend you my revolver? Answer, no, I will not!” (Christie 251). This could give…

checks on gun owners and sellers and hiring more personnel to enforce these policies are the start of their plan to improve this very flawed system. Another new innovation in the process is the addition of mental health requirements for owning a firearm and sponsored research into gun safety technology. The goal of this system is just to keep guns out of the wrong hands and ensure a safer environment for the American citizens. “The President and Vice President are committed to using every…

anyone feel safer, allowing students to possess and use firearms on college campuses will likely breed fear and paranoia among fellow students since no one will know whether the other person can simply retrieve or pull out a gun if a dispute arises”. This quote shows that rather than making it safer for students, they would feel more at risk than before. Two students could be having an altercation and one of them could just pull out a firearm. Students would then have to always be on guard…

animals are being injured in the process. These days’ trappers have been catching a lot more than wolves. Some among the list include mountain lions, eagles, fishers, deer and even family pets. In January, a National Park Service employee accidentally stepped into one, just outside Glacier National Park. The next month, a dog got three of its legs caught in two different traps at once. Also, the season is risking injuries of animals getting hurt. In 2013 alone there were 29 reported cases of…

In the United States of America, all citizens have the right to bear arms. Whether the citizens choose to carry a concealed weapon or not is up to them. Due to multiple negative encounters with gun violence, violence committed with the use of a gun, the citizens of the United States have been skeptical about the use of guns and how laws should be carried out. A political cartoon found on U.S. News displays how an author feel gun violence could be prevented, and uses different tactics to catch…

Under current school policy,…

America is caught up in an important war and the problem is that very few people realize this fact. The war in which I am referring is whether or not to ban assault weapons. Now I’m not proposing a complete ban on all guns as that would be a violation of the 2nd Amendment which we will examine later. However, as we will see in the examples highlighted below, assault weapons are not normal guns and consequently I believe that they must be banned from civilian use. What are the problems? Let’s…
