Sandy Hook

back. Many schools do not have the necessary security, have violent students, and an intruder could attack at any time. The Arkansas Christian Academy has recently let faculty members carry firearms. We can’t stand by and watch a mass shooting like Sandy Hook or Virginia Tech happen again. To begin with, many schools do not have the necessary security. Most public schools have one or two armed police officers, roaming throughout the school. If an armed gunman walks into the other side of the…

The rhetorical analysis I am conducting is a photograph taking during the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. The subjects that are in focus are police officers, students, and a teacher. The police officers are escorting the students and the teacher to safety. The objects that are out of focus would be the vehicles and dumpsters in the parking lot. There are some woods in the background of the photograph. In the foreground I see the children walking in a single…

In December 2012 a terrible event took place in the United States in the town of Sandy Hook. Twenty-six people lost their life’s, twenty of whom were children, when a gunman entered the Sandy Hook elementary school. The country was devastated at the event, and in response a bill, the Machin-Toomey bill, was created. Despite the recent tragedy, however, bill did not pass, for it was opposed by a very strong opponent: the NRA. Each side waged a battle against the other by using different…

for this topic. A gun cannot pull its own trigger. Many cases where there has been a mass shooting. The gunman has a mental illness. The Sandy Hook Elementary shooting is an example of the gunman having a mental illness. The gunman was 20 year-old man Adam Lanza. He used guns his mother had at her house first killing her then driving her car to the Sandy Hook Elementary. “You had to buzz in and out and the whole nine yards.” (Barron). Lanza was let into the school because the principal…

but also leads people to be feared of “hunt/shoot/kill scenarios” by simulating them (para. 11). Ethan tries very hard to convince us that video games have no direct effect on troubled teenagers. Ethan introduces his article with the appalling Sandy Hook shooting and then elaborates his ideas throughout the text. The author informs us the video games became the scapegoat that responsible for the massacre after the government reinforced the regulations computer games. According to his opinion,…

you know when was America 's worst school shooting? Well I do, and it had only happened four years ago, and shootings here have gotten much worse today. That’s why I propose a improved gun control system in our nation. With the school shooting of Sandy Hook Elementary School back in December 14th, 2012, the U.S. hasn’t actually enforced restrictions on gun control. This outrageous, intolerant behavior of the government, has lead me to believe we should establish an improved gun control system…

A contributing factor for these school shootings is that each of the shooters was given access to guns even though they had mental issues. The Columbine shooters had a friend buy their guns.

Harris and Klebold met up with Manes at a gun show and purchased one of the guns used. This purchase was illegal since both Harris…
