Thank you all for coming to the presidential address. Today’s date is the 14th of December, 2016. Today marks the 4-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook Massacre that took place in Connecticut. We are gathered here to commemorate the lives lost on this day. The 28 lives lost, the 20 innocent children’s lives. Children who because of that man aren’t able to fulfill their potential. Aren’t able to live out their lives, aren’t able to contribute to society. For those unaware of the event, on the 14th…

“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…

A bulletproof vest can stop a certain bullet at a certain speed depending on how much layer the vest has. The person wearing the vest may block the bullet but may still suffer injury due to the bullet pushing you back. When the bullet hits the vest it disperses the round energy making the bullet slug to minimise blunt force trauma. A Bulletproof vest is made up of a lot of layers of tightly woven material to help protect the wearer. How body armor works: While wearing the vest,…

With the enactment of House Bill Eleven or as many call Campus Carry in August 2016, I felt it was time to talk about this once and for all, but not on the lines of conservative or liberal. It will now be legal for anybody twenty-one or older with a concealed-carry permit to carry a handgun on campus this next August. For many this is a scary thought because of the numerous school shootings at campuses across the country. In fact I know that whenever there is a threat to campus, it usually…

You have just terrible life threatening disease: rabies. Some of the strange symptoms which you are afflicted include, the fear of water, excessive vomiting, and partial paralysis. You ponder how to treat them. For your fear of water you simply avoid it you don’t bathe or drink it so you anxiety from it goes away. Next to stop the vomiting, you stop eating and it stops. Lastly to ease your pain from the paralysis, you stay home all day and watch Netflix so as to avoid situations that remind you…

People Like to be prepared for anything however nobody wakes up in the morning and says,”I am going to be a victim today”. If you are one of the groups of people who just do not care about the ability to carry a concealed weapon because it does not affect you, it does. People fear what they expect but don’t fear the unexpected, people run for help or call the cops if someone is breaking in their house, people are ignorant and are willing to do anything if they are in dire need. We do not wish…

Imagine, one of your rights being taken away from you, or being restricted. That’s happening right now. Gun control is being inflicted after the Oregon shooting in a community college. In 2011 a gun was used in 323 murders, that same year a hammer was used in 496 murders (Hawkins). Clearly a household item is just as dangerous as a gun, especially when it’s in the hands of someone who desires to do wrong. Most people don’t understand that you don’t blame the tool that is used, you blame the…

Many prominent leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Robert Kennedy, were assassinated by deadly weapons-- firearms. Guns’ very existence can either harm or use to defend. The issue lies on who exactly gets hold of these weapons. Who should we trust? How should such laws be justified? If correct implements are taken, many invaluable, American lives would be saved. In order to decrease potential harm, guns should be distributed only with special regulations. During the…

Medieval inventions, armor, and weapons made medieval life so much easier and more productive. Medieval weapons included a lot of items one included was the battle axe and it was used to chop and cut enemies and other items. Medieval armor were very inconvenient in the matter of weight and mobility, some armor weighed from 66 all the way up to 110 pounds. Medieval inventions made life much easier and less complicated an invention mentioned are blast furnaces were used to make fire alive and to…

Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. This phrase has become the mantra for the National Rifle Association and most pro-gun arguments, but on what basis does this stems from? Here in the United States, we contain just under half of all the armed civilians worldwide, despite having only just under 5 percent of the world population. To some, they see this fact as a source of pride, though others see it as the reason for an extensive issue. It is no breaking news that gun violence has been a…
