It was a beautiful July day in 2014 when my family and I were camping at Holland Lake with our family friends Kinsey and Lauren. There wasn't a cloud in sight and the sun reflected off the bluish greenish water. The air smelt of smoke and fresh trees. Early in the morning when the campground is quiet you can even hear the waterfall. Holland Lake is a very busy lake with boaters, tubers, water skiers, ect. Since that day was so nice there were a bunch of boats on the lake the waves were huge. Kinsey, Lauren, Alex and I were all pretty close in age but Alex and Lauren were taller so they get the outside of the tube. When we all finished breakfast I changed into my swimming suit speedy fast and rode my bike as fast as I could to my cousins camper, Alex. I had to wait what felt like 5 hours for her to change. Once she was done we waited for Kinsey and Lauren at ¨The Beach¨. Alex and I killed time by talking about how much fun we were going to have…
Today’s global environment has become more violent than just a decade ago. The majority of attacks has been on civilians in atmospheres where few, if any, of the victims are expected to be armed and able to defend themselves. However, hindsight reports from law enforcement personnel admit that if more private citizens were armed, the number of lethal crimes would most likely decrease. This is because criminals won’t know who, or how many, individuals are armed and ready to protect themselves and their loved ones.…
In April 2007, a mass shooting at Virginia Tech occurred. At the time, it was considered the deadliest school shooting in American history. The shooter, Seung-Hui Cho, opened fire into classrooms that morning, killing 32 before taking his own life (Virginia Tech Review Panel, 2007). Sadly, this tragedy is just one incident in a string of many mass shootings in the United States. That is why taking steps to prevent these kinds of shootings is of utmost importance.…
Carrying a concealed gun reduces murder and other types of crimes. If everyone was to carry a concealed gun there would be more fights because people would think that they were cool because they carry a gun at all times. People should carry a concealed gun because they would be able to defend themselves when in a fight. Adults should be able to carry a concealed gun with a license.…

An indepth project such as The Connecting the Branches on Gun Control, required a great amount of time and effort. As the project progressed I learn a lot, not only on the subject I was studying and reporting on, but also how to find a use useful information pertaining to the hot button topic of Gun Control in America. Firstly, I feel as though it is important to know that I went into this project with a fairly extensive amount of knowledge on the topic, and fairly well established beliefs pertaining to guns. While, I still completely believe in expanding legislation on gun control. To have a well-rounded project it was crucial to research all information, not just articles and reports that take a more liberal stance on the topic.…
Imagine the feeling of safety as if it is constantly within our control or ability, people that are in possession of a concealed weapon are aware of the responsibility and the results of what can happen when using a concealed weapon. Safety of teachers, all other employees and students at a learning intuition can greatly improve if the staff could be armed with concealed weapons. Also we must remember that all citizens of the United States have the right to carry and own a weapon as guaranteed by the second amendment of the constitution of the United States of America. Safety and security could be greatly improved with teachers and faculty carrying concealed weapons on campus, therefore, the teachers and faculty increase security; the safety of the students can also be achieved.…
On Jan 13, 2014, a retired police officer with a legally concealed handgun shot and killed another man during an argument over text messaging in a movie theater. If the retired police officer did not have the concealed weapon, there may have been a fist fight or an argument, but the other man would not have died. Studies have shown that any situation is 4.5 times more likely to turn lethal with a weapon of any sort involved. Concealed weapons are a hazard to the situation becoming lethal and increase chances of people getting hurt.…
Every Time there is a violent crime involving guns the media and public leaders blame guns and not the person accused of committing the crime FBI conducted an experiment and people were likely to be killed by a handheld object five times more than a rifle. Banning guns will affect only the law abiding citizens not criminals. Criminals don't follow the law that's why they are called criminals. If you're going to outlaw guns then might as well ban everything on market that can potentially hurt people. Gun laws in the U.S. should not be restricted because…
Alabama gun laws and the control of guns are a hot topic in the State of Alabama. Some say gun laws are way too strict. Others say they are not strict at all, and want them to be stricter. I will provide an informative look at gun laws and regulations in the state of Alabama. First by determining what is the legal age to purchase and possess a gun and gun permit. Secondly by determining who qualifies for a gun and who does not by law. Finally by answering the question, where can you legally carry your firearm, and where you cannot carry one?…
As the name suggest, Shotgun slugs are exactly that, a chunk of steel coming at a person at an average velocity of approximately 1800 fps when being fired from a 12-gauge shotgun, achieving an energy blow of over 3,100 ft. lbs. Hitting a delinquent with one of these nasty ammunition rounds would have someone’s house looking like a gruesome, horror scene from the walking dead; therefore, those looking to avoid such scenarios should reconsider using buckshot’s instead as an alternative, effective round. Nevertheless, using buckshot’s comes with the risk of seriously injuring or worse, fatally injuring unintended targets or love ones that might be caught in the middle of a fire fight do to the design of the projectile spreading small pallets in…
Young guns is an interesting movie since it actually explained the both sides of the story on guns and their victims as well. However, in the end it left more questions than how to solve the problem of weapons exposure to the children?…
Should Kids Have Toy Guns Michael Golden and Robert Shaffer both write articles on whether or not they want their kids to have toy guns. They both have different opinions on the issue and very good arguments to back up their reasons. Golden writes an article entitled “Why I Bought My Son a Toy Gun” and Shaffer writes on “Why I Won’t Buy My Sons Toy Guns.” They both respond to one important question: should young children have access to toy guns and other weapons. Toy guns are an issue that many parents feel different on. Some parents and guardians feel they should restrict access to toy guns because it introduces kids to violence. Robert Shaffer agrees with this concept. He writes that “any toy is a teacher….the lesson toy guns teach is that solving problems with violence is acceptable.” Shaffer has a fairly good argument that toy guns allow kids to act out violent acts and may lead to real acts of violence in the future. It should also be known that Shaffer lives in New York City, where more acts of violence occur than in most cities or towns. I believe that Shaffer has a great reason for not allowing his kids to play with guns but I do not necessarily agree with his approach (Shaffer 205). I believe that the more an item is kept away from a kid, the more he or she will want to obtain that toy or item. When my parents told me absolutely not to touch something in the house I always went ahead and did exactly what they ordered me not to do. I believe most all kids think that way too. Michael Golden supports that idea as well. In his article he explains why he bought his son a toy gun even though he did not support the idea of introducing kids to violence. Golden realized that by not buying the gun for his son would only make the kid want it more. Also, if a kid really wants to play with a…
