Giving up the Gun tells the story of Japan, a highly civilized country, who possessed a highly developed technology in firearms and voluntarily chose to give up these weapons to return to a more primitive style culture. There was no real forceful abolition of firearms, but instead a slow voluntary effort and shift of mindset.

I was “mildly” surprised by the news because I knew it was larger than the media and society made it out to be but had no idea that it was as frequent as an average of almost once a week. I find it asinine that people shrug this kind of stuff like, “Stuff happens, and that this is part of the price we must pay to protect our gun rights.”, as if it’s not it’s not problem unless it affects you. I don’t even see why we have so many guns here in the first place, enough for every person in the country to have one and then so is ridiculous. I, personally, have never appreciated or even liked the idea of guns, and this just proves my point that much further. To think, all this time, all this money and all these lives could have been a saved if they

I guess on day two, I broke one of the tattoo artist commandments and asked if the “Tattoo Gun” was missing any parts. As soon as the words slipped through my lips, all four artists, who were in the shop that day stopped tattooing and piercing, looked at me and yelled: “IT’S A TATTOO MACHINE NOT A TATTOO GUN”! I felt my face get red and hot. It was like I insulted their God or something. Apologizing many times did not seem to do any good. They were most unforgiving and did not take the count I was not yet familiar with their terms yet. As I investigated why the words “tattoo gun” are so offensive to tattoo artist my writing

Corey was walking home from school one afternoon when he saw two men arguing in the middle of the road. In the beginning he was entertained by the argument so he figured he would stand there to find out what the brawl was about. After a couple minutes passed the two men began to get louder and a fight broke out. Back and forth, the two men exchanged punches and one man was tackled to the ground. The stronger man got up and pulled out a gun and began to shoot the other man. Corey could tell that the man who was shot was instantly killed. He was now a witness to a fatal shooting crime. Residing in the neighborhood he was born in, he was told to never report to the police when he saw a crime, so now Corey could not decide on what to do. Many people

Anger is a curious thing some believe it helps them others believe it hurts them, but Mark Twain hit the nail on the head when he said “Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.”(Mark Twain) Anger can be identified in a variety of ways by a variety of people. It builds up a person into their own trap while tearing down another. Everyone has different views on anger some are similar and some are different. Emily Dickinson’s poem “My Life Stood a Loaded Gun” and Marvin Gaye’s song “Anger” can be compared and contrasted because of their unique views on anger and violence.

Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted him. His glossy feathers seemed to be shimmering in the blaze of the sunrise. All I ever wanted my entire life was that moment. I tried to be a ruthless killer that lurked in the damp wilderness that morning. Hunting

In the short story, the plot is an exploration of title“The Stone Boy” written by Gina Berriault. The plot events is where how the characters dealt with their emotions, specifically Arnold who is known as the “stone boy”. Arnold is a nine-year-old boy and the youngest of his other two siblings, Nora and Eugie. Throughout the story, Arnold felt inferior towards Eugie, yet simultaneously admiring him as his role model. Then, one unexpected morning an abominable accident occurred. The event occurred when Arnold and Eugie decided to pick peas. “Get up,” Arnold repeated. “You said you’d pick peas with me” (p.2). As they went to pick peas, Arnold carried along a firearm with him that he utilizes for shooting ducks. However, when they went out to pick peas and pass through the fence, Arnold’s gun got caught causing it to fire in the air. “His rifle got caught on the wire and he jerked it. The air was rocked by the sound the shot” (p.3). Consequently, when the gun fired, it went straight to Eugie who instantly died at the scene while Arnold proceeded to pick peas rather than running back to tell his parents. So, when Arnold went home, he informed his parents that Eugie was dead. “Eugie’s dead” (p.4). The parents did not believe it in the beginning because Arnold did not give any reaction or a vibe that something was wrong. Be that as it may, when Arnold was asked where his brother was and he did not respond, they immediately went to check it out while Arnold went to the barn to

On Monday, September 26th, around 17:00, Torrance Sweeney, the district 12 congressman of New York, held a political rally in Washington Square Park. A crowd of about 500 people extended 25m from the podium whilst he stood atop a slightly raised podium. At 17:56, participants of the rally and occupants of the park reported to hearing a low gunshot, but the shooter was not identified. 17:00 is a bustling time for New York, making the park busier than usual, and harder to spot an oddity. Medical reports indicated a small non-lethal entry wound in the lower abdomen. After much consideration, it has been concluded that Mr. Sweeney was shot using a Glock 19 gen 4 with an AAC TiRant 9s suppressor and Speer Gold Dot 115gr JHP ammunition.

Secondly, a gun is useless unless one knows how to use it. If you put a gun on the table and tell it to shoot, it is obviously not going to go off. Therefore, proper gun instruction is vital to operating a gun. Before handling a gun, “learn how it operates. Know the basic parts, how to safely open and close the action and remove any ammunition from the gun or magazine” (NRA Gun Safety Rules 5). The first step is learning the different parts of a gun and how they function. With this knowledge, shooting the gun becomes easier and safer. To fire a gun, pull the trigger. The trigger connects to a hammer, and after pulling the trigger, the hammer releases and strikes the firing pin, which in turn, strikes the primer. The primer is a cylindrical component at
