The article I chose to discuss is titled “11 year-old Brooklyn girl feared paralyzed by stray bullet moves arms in sign of hope” from the New York Daily News by Chelsia Rose Marcius, Jennifer Fermino and Barry Paddock. According to the article ; Tayloni (Tutu) Mazyck; was shot in the neck on May 31, 2013, while standing in front of her home in Bed-Stuyvesant Brooklyn. Kane Cooper age 17 shot Tayloni while aiming for rival gang members and when told of the little girls’ injuries he laughed. The bullet pierced Tayloni in the neck and lodged in her spine. “Doctors told the family she will never walk again, but brave Tayloni managed to move her arms on Monday for the first time since she was shot.…
The North Aurora Police Department currently allows officers to carry their choice of 9mm or .45 caliber pistols; no long guns are available. The Firearms Training Unit has proposed that the department adopt the .223 caliber rifle for patrol officer use. The reasons for this proposal are: (1) pistols are inherently less accurate and have a shorter effective range than long guns such as rifles and shotguns, (2) pistol caliber bullets penetrate more heavily through interior walls than .223 rifle caliber bullets, which causes an increased risk of unintended persons being hit, and (3) pistol caliber bullets will not penetrate body armor and many other obstacles commonly encountered, while most .223 caliber bullets will. The objective of this research is to determine if the NAPD should adopt a long gun for patrol officer use or keep the current pistol-only program as it is. The types of weapons under consideration are pistol caliber rifles (9mm and .45 caliber), shotguns (slugs and buckshot), and the .223 caliber rifle. These weapons will be compared and contrasted with respect to accuracy & range, ease of use, wounding ability, and barrier penetration. Immediate Incapacitation Officers shoot to immediately achieve physiological incapacitation of a suspect who is threatening life. This means that the suspect is rendered physically incapable of continuing his or her life threatening behavior. This is done by (1) damaging or destroying the suspect’s central nervous system by shooting the brain or upper spinal cord, or (2) interrupting blood flow to the brain, to cause unconsciousness, through shooting the center mass of the suspect. Stopping blood flow to the brain is done by creating…

The third shot wounded Governor John Connally. Who was sitting in the front seat of the motorcade with John F. Kennedy. Oswald did so much damage with just three bullets. It posed that both men were hit by a single bullet. Which extended to JFKs upper back and exited through his throat and then struck Governor John Connally´s ribs breaking them then shattering his wrist then finally resting in his thigh. Skeptics say that the trajectory was fanciful and renamed it as the magic bullet theory. It's just one reason why conspiracy theorists think more than one shooter was involved(who killed…

There is so much evidence that shows Lee Harvey Oswald was not the lone shooter that day. The main conspiracies, or secret plans that can change people's minds about the assassination that changed American history. This theory is one of the three bullets Oswald shot in 8.3 seconds, proven the best gunmen could not get off three shots with the rifle, classified as the Carcano M91/38 Bolt Action in this time. One of the three bullets is named “Magic Bullet” that has supposedly changed its direction twice. Entering JFk’s back to come out of the throat then also exiting the throat onto hitting connally to his right armpit. Not only does a bullet take two turns after a shot it had too little too damage to of had these…
Single Shooter Theory- The single shooter theory is the theory where there was only one shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald. In this theory it was said that Oswald fired three shots from the 6th floor of the School Book Depository Building where there was later found three shell casings matching Oswald's rifle. The first shot was a miss. The second shot was infamous magic bullet shot, where the bullet hit Kennedy in the back, then went through his neck, then hits John Connelly in the back, ribs, wrist, and finally lodges in his leg. The third bullet was the head shot where Kennedy was finally killed.…

Every time there is a tragic event such as a mass shooting, the idea of gun control becomes the number one topic of discussion. Many forms of gun control have been the result of a tragic event. The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993, for example, is a result of the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan, which left James Brady with disabilities for the remainder of his life. Another example of post tragedy ideas for gun control came as the result of the attempted assassination of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. These would include expanding and strengthening the current background check system, as well as instituting federal laws against gun trafficking. Congresswoman Giffords would also like to receive federal funding to research the “Cause and Impact of Gun Violence”.…
And Probability Hit, got me, either you hit them or you didn't. Well Shots fired I understand, you hear shots fired you call it in. Don't be a hero, call for backup. "A report published in 1998 reported that the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police had nearly 500 firearms “incidents” from 1994-98 in which they fired over 2,500 rounds. In these incidents, 157 suspects were shot, 45 were fatally. There were 126 instances in which officers fired more than six rounds, and 67 instances in which officers fired more than ten rounds. Hit probability was not available for publication." And probability Hit has increased with handguns and that data was…
Gun violence is any act committed by the use of a firearm that causes bodily injury or fatality. Gun violence in the United States has become increasingly evident and has led to mass tragedy nationwide, affecting all walks of life. It has had a devastating effect on communities throughout the country and has resulted in numerous injuries and deaths. Within the past decade, there have been more than “100,000 people killed as a result of gun violence” in America, and millions more have been victims of robbery, assault, or other crimes involving a gun (“FACT”). Within this same timeframe, hundreds of thousands of people within United States borders committed suicide with a gun or suffered from other gun inflicted injuries (“FACT”). Additionally,…
Today, we are living in a world where one moment you are laughing, and in a blink of an eye you wind up either dead or in the hospital due to random gun violence. US leads amongst all the developed nations in mass murder due to gun violence and gun abuse. Between 1976 and 2012, most high-income countries did not experience a single shooting. The U.S. witnessed 16 shootings involving 7 or more fatalities, resulting in 241 deaths, more than all the other developed countries combined.…

Not because of tougher gun laws. Historical data actually shows when tougher sanctions are placed on law abiding citizen’s gun crime skyrockets. We can look at cities like Chicago for example who have strict gun regulation. In the last 3 days one has been murdered and twenty six injured. In fact Chicago has the highest rate of gun violence in the United States averaging between 450-500 gun related deaths a year. Other large cities like New York and Los Angeles also have tough gun restrictions resulting in 250-350 gun related deaths a year. With other cities that have more lenient gun laws have lower homicide rates, take New Orleans for example with 193 deaths resulting from gun violence. You can clearly see that by unrestricting firearms for law abiding citizens gun crime rates actually drop. This brings me to the topic of gun violence stopped by a gun. There has been thousands of incidents that have been either completely stopped or stopped prematurely. As in the case of the Plymouth, MA shooting. On September 11th 2012 the suspect by the name of Allabough was asked to leave the bar. He was an air force veteran with some mental discretion’s. Allabough pulled a…
