Weapon

hearing from the President that gun control should happen, they begin to believe the same, never thinking for themselves how it will affect life itself. These people are only focusing on the people who do bad acts with these weapons, but they ignore all the people who use those weapons to protect themselves and their family. They see the problem and believe they see a simple solution, but what they do not understand is that while making access to guns much more limited, bad people will still get…

The officer made the right call because of all the facts that he had learned in the short time since he heard the gunshots. He heard gunshots got off the train and saw two men who appeared to be carrying weapons running toward the other side of the station. Both of the men who had the guns were running with a purpose, Dinardo did not know what that purpose was but he acted because he felt that he and many others were in critical danger. One witness claims…

More people have been shot by the police than people that died during the Iraq War*. Cops cannot be trusted with these weapons, as is shown in the Mike Brown case in Ferguson, where police officer Darren Wilson shot unarmed teenager Mike Brown and didn’t get arrested. Since January 1st, 735 people have been killed by police officers, a number which is still rising**.Without…

is the leader of gun ownership and takes their constitutional rights to bear arms very seriously as well as ranks first out of 178 countries when it comes to gun ownership (Fitzpatrick, 2015). Americans have nearly 90 weapons per 100 populations, this could indicate the amount of public mass shooters in the U.S (Fitzpatrick, 2015). Rwanda and Russia might be considered dangerous places after all Russia’s homicide rate is 2.5 times higher than the U.S, yet Russia has relatively…

In my essay, I wrote about the issue of gun control. I believe that there should be a little stricter laws pertaining to guns because people treat them as toys, rather than deadly weapons. I chose this topic primarily because I was going to give a speech on the issue of guns in America. Writing about this topic and preparing for a speech, I could kill two birds with one stone, along with the added benefit of extra research. But I couldn’t deliver the speech because of issues with the timing and…

The second amendment was great because it gave the people a free to carry a gun on them. Most people who carry a gun on then are usually have it for protections, some people get guns for bad reasons. There has to be some gun laws but for adults to carry guns it's a good law that lets them. Criminals should not be allowed to carry guns which they aren't which is good it's smart, and kids under the age of 18 should not be allowed to own guns. There has been people's lives been saved by people who…

Do Guns Kill or Save? One bullet, from one shot, from one gun, is all it takes. One small little bullet travelling so fast, that one cannot see it coming. This little bullet propels itself toward a body, and when it hits the body and pierces the skin, a whole life can change. When this bullet pierces a skull, or tears open a beating heart, everything changes. In a split second everything, every potential this person could’ve fulfilled, has vanished. This is all a result of one bullet, from one…

with the two r’s. “Derringers were not particularly reliable and some were downright dangerous to handle, they fell out of favor for use as defensive pistol” (Garrett). The gun served as a back up weapon, but they are still being made to this day. ` This pistol had an eventful history. “It was the weapon, used by John Wilkes Booth to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln in the Ford Theater on April 14, 1865.” (High Smith) It was a .44 caliber that killed him which was called the “hit man’s…

Gun violence has been a concern of mine ever since Sandy Hook. Even though there were other tragedies prior to that incident, Sandy Hook took place when I was in high school. I was at the age where I fully understood what happened. My school started teaching/informing us about safety procedures if something like this were to happen. I distinctly remember that day, innocent lives were lost. I never thought much about the issue of gun violence but when that specific tragedy happened my views on…
