There is a man standing in front of you and he's aiming a gun at your head. This may sound as an extreme situation, but sadly, our society has turned into a place where people are afraid of simply going out for a while or just running to make an insignificant errand. So how would you act if you were in this position? You could use your powerful mind to control the situation without getting yourself or your attacker harmed, for example, you could put him to sleep. Maybe you could control his gun…

I firmly believe that Americans should have guns, but we need more regulation. People point towards the second amendment, citing it as why the government should not regulate guns. They seem to have forgotten how far along technology has gone. When the second amendment was written, no one could have possibly imagined just how advanced guns would become. We went from muskets to automatic rifles, three shots a minute to thirty. Can we really trust everyone to carry a weapon with them with those…

published in 1863 (although Gibbon would achieve considerably more fame as an infantry general during the war). Shortly after the outbreak of war, Brig. Gen. James Wolfe Ripley, Chief of Ordnance, ordered the conversion of old smoothbores into rifled cannon and the manufacture of…

The college carry law that will go into effect August of 2016, has escalated a heated debate between Anti-gun activists and Pro-gun activists. Pro-gun activists claim that guns on campus would decrease the likelihood of on campus shooting and provide a certain degree of safety for the students; However, Anti-gun activists counter that claim by stating that approving guns on college campuses would lead to the probability of such action to take place. Furthermore, regardless of gun license or not…

Many things in our world anger me, but when I hear that our new President has just made it legal for mentally ill Americans to purchase guns, I go ballistic. The second amendment states that we are given the right to bear arms legally, but I think that our founding fathers did not mean that someone mentally ill is allowed to purchase firearms. Events occur all around the world that give evidence as to why firearms should not even be allowed to be purchased even by the average human being. The…

If I had to choose a service organization other than my own I would choose, New Yorkers against gun violence. If is very dangerous for there to be a gun in the house especially when there are kids present. If kids see a gun in the house they will grab it and play with it. They might not even know that it is a real gun, and for that something terrible can occur. They can shoot someone in the house or even themselves. Guns are not toys, they can take away lives. There should no guns in a household…

How gunpowder changed warfare How gunpowder was invented is that some scientists in china were experimenting Saltpeter a powerful agent potassium nitrate. It was used in medical compounds for years until a man thought about mixing the potassium agent with sulfur and charcoal, it had a result of a mysterious powder. Some observers said that smoke and fire the scientist’s body parts were burnt and the houses that they were working at burnt down too. The powder was used by the reigning Sung…

When looking at the people that surround you in your everyday life and routine, do you imagine them carrying a gun freely at all times? In the recent years, US citizens, as well as the government, have decided to bring up the topic of gun laws and protection, specifically the Open Carry law, in which the people of a state have the right to freely carry a firearm in public. One of the main reasons this specific topic was brought up is due to the increase of gun violence throughout the years of…

The society that we live in today is one where people would rather take someone else’s life than communicate about the problem like an adult. In the U.S, we have the highest rate of gun murders compared to the other countries. This has become a social dilemma among the United States. A social dilemma is the option for a society’s long-term success due to one individuals own interests. (Newman 2016:) Now he or she may think that killing another person is the best way to go about things, but what…

Having your gun in a safe place where children can’t access them is a really smart idea and it would save many children’s lives. When children are little, they are curious and want to know what everything is, so therefore when they see something that looks “cool”, they want to play with it. Parents should make sure their guns are put in a safe place considering little children don’t know how to act around them and how dangerous they can be. “They are just not mature enough to exercise good…
