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. When this bullet pierces a skull, or tears open a beating heart, everything changes. In a split second everything, every potential this person could’ve fulfilled, has vanished. This is all a result of one bullet, from one…

By owning a gun are you able to protect your family or really hurt them? A story about a young boy who having known his mother hid a gun under her bed, retrieved the gun. The boy did this to show it to his neighbor, and ended up shooting the neighbor in the neck. This shows you that kids do not understand the power a gun has and the harm it can do to people. Why would you want to risk that happening to your child or to have him do it to another? On the other hand, you also never know when…

Should we not remember that the very freedom we preach day in and day out as the one thing we must protect at all cost was given to us by guns. The revolutionary war, a time where every household had a gun, and at one point was required to have a gun. Since day one we have had guns, and it should stay that way. Posting gun free zones accomplishes nothing, and does more harm than good. The president’s kids have armed guards around them 24/7/365 as well. Guns have been a way of life since day one…

The United States has been in a conflicting stance on guns, as some people oppose the idea of the government taking away their guns as this act would deny them the second amendment while others have been for eliminating guns from the equation of entirety, as it leads to many homicides and mass shootings over the years. The question then arises: Do we need a strict gun policy or eliminate guns completely? As research suggests, in the United States, guns can be linked to many things like suicide,…

This person will never learn to be like the rest of us. He has no conscience, he only looks out for himself and is wholly incapable of feeling empathy. It is a sad tale. People like him exist and there is no treatment for it. Most people cannot protect themselves from people like Danny because so few people are like Danny. Conscience is so inherent, so automatic that even when we try to put ourselves first in life we will often look back. We can connect the dots to understand the world around us…

Toy guns were created around eighteen sixty-five, following the Civil War and were intended for the playful use of children. By giving them an object similar to a real gun, it gave children an opportunity to escape the harsh aftermath of the war through pure imaginative roleplay including but not limited to: cops and robbers, war play, etc. Sadly, in today’s society the facetious nature of toy guns has been altered from what it was originally intended for. Because of the unforeseen affects it…
