Introduction In the recent past, learning institutions have increasingly become crime scenes with dozens of students and professors dead and others wounded. This has sparked debate on whether concealed guns should be allowed at colleges or not. The current laws prohibits anyone to carry a gun in and around school premises but the proponents of the matter are calling for the legalization of concealed guns in schools as the first step in keeping campuses safe. They argue that this will give…
Shot by George Zimmerman in 2012, seventeen year old Trayvon Martin had his life cut short. Zimmerman, who volunteered for his local neighborhood watch committee in Sanford, Florida, was acquitted of the homicide of Martin. He was released because evidence to contradict his claim of self-defense was not present, also, the state of Florida adopted so called, “Stand Your Ground” laws that supports Zimmerman’s case. “Stand Your Ground” laws eliminate the duty to retreat, or an attempt to get away,…
2015. This is 13,286 to many, we need to implement a new law to stop people who have bad intentions when using firearms. America should make it mandatory for any person who buys a firearm, weather long barrel or short barrel to qualify with their weapon. After qualifying they have to take a test that will show their mental state when it comes to making a decision with a firearm. Many people get offended when you talk about changing gun laws and making it harder to get them. I was born and raised…
their one moment of fame and failing to achieve the “American dream”. French bloggers Nicolas Quint and Marc Verstaen compared gun ownership in countries with occurrences of violence. The United States is the leader in gun ownership with nearly 90 weapons per 100 population according to Nicolas and Marc. Canada is no surprise, very far behind with about one-third the number held by Americans. Rwanda and Russia have few firearms per 100 population. Russia however, has a high homicide rate; it is…
responsible for many recent cases of extreme violence. On the other hand, people who are in favour of the Second Amendment believe that regular citizens should be allowed to own weapons to better defend themselves. After carefully considering both sides, gun control regulations need to be tightened and the usage of weapons outside of law enforcement should be severely limited. Gun control legislation should be strengthened because of several reasons. First of all, the…
Filibuster, Nawara states "the first two bills that set to be voted on are as follows: people on terrorist watch lists are now stopped from buying a gun. Republicans want these people to have 72 hours so the FBI can find probable cause to deny their weapon purchase. The second bill closes a loophole in which gun purchases online or at gun shows circumvent background checks. The background check bill, in a similar but different from failed to pass after the Sandy Hook massacre." Shockingly to…
As you may know that there was a shooting down in Dallas Texas. Were a guy shot and killed police officers and the police used a robot to confront the subject and people questioned whether or not police should use robots to confront the subject. I say that the police should use the robots to protect themselves, protect others in the area, and the police wouldn’t have to use a K-9 in a bad situation. Police should use the robots to protect themselves so they can come home to their loved ones and…
If I could change gun violence.What I would do to change gun violence is take the people who have guns to give them up and only give guns to responsible and trusted people.I would only give a gun to a trusted person that won't go and do stupid stuff with it a person who will only use it to defend himself and not do bad things then I would let the person keep it but if the person who has a record with the police the I will be forced to take the gun away from that person.If the person has done bad…
In my opinion America has transformed into an oligarchy. We live in a world where capitalism rules all. Most people will sell their souls for financial growth or power. The reason I believe that we do not have a democracy is because the majority votes does not matter. We the people, no longer have control over our government. The power rest in the hands of the economic elite and politicians. In a democracy, the government is vested in the people and if majority votes, then it becomes law. For…
The case of whether guns should be banned is very controversial. Some people believe that guns need to be better controlled, while others say that they should be banned. In the article “The Case Against Banning Guns” there are many strong arguments against banning guns. I think that the most important point in the article is that even if there very fewer amounts of guns, or if they were less accessible, people who really want to do harm would still find a way to get a gun. In the text, it…
