000. Of that 7,000, 6% (about 420 children) actually die from their injuries. These numbers don’t even include the estimated 3,000 who die before they’re able to reach the ER. Modern gun control began in 1968 with the Gun Control Act. This allowed state, local, and federal law enforcement officials to have increased power in regulating gun control (this was in an attempt to fight crime). The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 followed the Gun Control Act, and it made it so that people…

results oppose these claims. A study done by harvard university found “observed correlations that nations with stringent gun controls tend to have much higher murder rates than nations that allow guns.”(Would banning firearms reduce... ). The study also states that “…the burden of proof rests on the proponents of the more guns equal more death and fewer guns equal less death mantra, especially since they argue public policy ought to be based on that mantra. To bear that burden would at the very…

Op –Ed “Guns Don’t Kill People Do” Mass Shooting are Part of The American culture. By Giselle Villanueva December 18, 2015, 5:00 PM oes gun control really lead to mass shooting? Gun control is not really leading to mass shooting it is the society not the firearm. People will find a way to purchase it or will obtain a hidden weapon or to keep it simple they will purloin it. For example, buying a…

shows how in ten states that passed right-to-carry laws, murder, rape, and aggravated assault went down on average of seven percent. While in the rest of the country without right-to-carry, murders went up 24%, rapes 71%, and a assaults doubled (Ratnesar). The reasoning behind this evidence is that criminals have a harder time choosing victims that could potentially be carrying firepower. These statistics may seem outdated, but they haven’t changed; in 2014 Illinois became the 50th state to…

Non-lethal weapons, unlike lethal weapons, are not used to fatally injure people. They are primarily used to enforce law and order, in cities, neighborhoods, and even during war. Stephen Coleman’s TED Talk, Non-Lethal Weapons, A Moral Hazard?, outlines both the positive and negative outcomes from non-lethal weapons. Although some may argue that non-lethal weapons are immoral and shouldn’t be used, non-lethal weapons are morally correct because they ensure the safety of civilians, are not used to…

CASE STUDY: GLOCK 17 The Glock 17 is a striker fired, short recoil, locked breech semi-automatic pistol with a polymer frame. Conventional pistol designs typically deploy a pivoting hammer in the rear of the pistol’s frame that impacts a firing pin mounted in the slide. Striker fired pistols replace this two piece assembly with a single linear spring loaded striker assembly housed completely in the slide. EXPLODED VIEW CONFIGURATIONS CALIBRE/SYSTEM:…

My evidence to support this comes from “Lost Generation” by an unnamed author where it states,”. Most children have never been in a classroom or played in a park.” This supports my claim by showing how most kids are being denied their education as they are forced to join the war by unstable governments. Likewise, in “Lost Generation” by an unnamed author it states,”Their growth has been stunted by conflict-induced famines, their psyches damaged by all the killings they have…

Mega-vid is a giant multinational video game production company. Like other video game companies, Mega-Vid is facing increasing criticism from people who are concerned that video games encourage violent behavior (College for America at Southern New Hampshire, 2014). So as a father, a former victim and a concerned American, I believe it’s time that we rise up against the video game industry to defend our kids and stop teaching them how to kill, all for the sake of the “mighty dollar.” Said Mark…

is in tender care. The issue of guns being carried on campus is being discussed in all aspects of society, including politics, forums, teachers, and everyday talk. Should teachers and faculty be given the option to carry a gun at all times? Too many tragedies have occurred for faculty members and students to not be allowed what seems like such a necessity. Our Bill of Rights states, “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed” so does this also apply in the classroom?…

The United States is the leader in per-capita gun deaths among industrial nations of the world. The mass shootings events have been noticeable as they makes news headlines worldwide when they occur time and time again within public places of the United States.
