“Jump,” they said, I Jumped off the paddle boat as the cold water rose to my knees. My heart beat fast inside my chest “Duck,” they said, small spinning bullets flew around me as I rolled onto the shore. “Fire,” they said, the noise of piercing gunshots rung in my ears. Soldiers fell like flies. Their blood stained the sand. Their blood, as red as the poppies in the fields ahead. I looked up only to see a huge sandy cliff, lined with Turkish soldiers and guns pointed right at us. I was only 19.…

Weapons of destruction On December 14, 2012 a school shooting happened in Sandy Hook Elementary School. The shooter killed many people and he killed himself. His weapon of choice was a semi automatic or commonly known as a assault weapon. The murder wasn’t stopped,but actions similar to his can be stopped in the future. If assault weapons were banned crime would be down. The loss of would be minimized. Assault weapons should be banned due to their destructive nature and history. Assault…

In the year 2013, a report by Fox Nation there were over 600,000 hunters in the state of Wisconsin alone this means there are 600,000 people in one state that own one or more guns. In today’s society, people are afraid of some people getting their hands-on guns in the united states, this is because of the high crime rate that is associated with guns. There have been some strict rules on who can buy a gun, but, out lawing guns would be almost impossible. There’s around 15 million people that use…

The occurrence of mass shootings and acts of terrorism have become increasingly common in the United States since the twenty-first century. Since 2000, thousands of United States citizens have died as a direct result of mass shootings and acts of terrorism. However, despite the striking similarities in the motives and damage engendered by these crimes, there are significant discrepancies between the classifications and punishments for the crimes. Depending on the crime, state or federal…

According to BBC News, “About 40% of americans own a gun or live in a household with one.” Guns play a big role in the american society. There have been many deaths due to guns but prohibiting them wouldn't have prevented these deaths. There are many reasons to why prohibiting these weapons will do more harm than good. I feel as if federal laws should not prohibit assault weapons because it will basically disengage the second amendment, it disregards americans rights to safety and it will cause…

Hunters use guns to harvest food, while police officers use guns for law enforcement. The two most commonly used firearms are the rifle and the shotgun, these two firearms are used for a certain goal but the two are different from one another. They differ by the types of bore, the type of projectiles it can fire, how far the range is, and how much they cost. A rifle gets its name from the presence of spiral grooves in the bore that is known as “rifling.” These grooves spin the bullet, thus…

Gun laws fill enormous gaps that exist in our nation’s federal laws and also help reduce gun violence and keep the citizens safe.

Diane…

Personal Narrative “Moments of Decision” “Thwack,” is the noise I heard as the arrow pierces the flesh of the big monster deer I just took a shot at. This day was one of the best decisions of my life to this day. If I wouldn’t have chosen to go on my very first bow hunt, I would have never been hooked on the sport that I love. Hunting is special to me. It is time alone with my dad and friends and I would have never been a part of until the day I made the decision to leave the small town of…

One of my most important personal goals is to shoot a deer with my bow. Preferably a buck but either with do. I’ve always wanted to, but now I’m ready to do it, and put lots of time in so I can achieve that goal. It’s not always easy to get a deer with a bow because most of the time the deer don’t come close enough. This year I’m going to prepare and plan out how to get a nice deer with my bow. One way I’m going to get a nice shot is to put out trail cams and see where the deer are moving.…
