Why Gun Safety Is Important In The World

William stared at the men on horseback behind James. Gone were the overalls and homemade cotton or hemp shirts. All the men wore black Kevlar vests and tactical gear that William had purchased and stashed in the cider mill armory.

Lydia Fitzpatrick's story "Safety" explores the fears and emotions of a gym teacher and his students as a normal school day goes awry when an unknown sound is heard. The gym teacher is leading the students through a wind-down after their class when a familiar but unknown sound is heard, prompting the students to imagine what it could be, before it is discovered to be a gun shot. The teacher has all the students move to the boys locker room, then to his office, covering them with a parachute they play with on Fridays. They all hide behind his desk, experiencing fear and different emotions as the shooter passes through the gym. The story presents the fear that the implicit agreement, that adults promise safety in return for children's trust,

The case Furman v Georgia made it all the to the supreme court because it would affect the way the whole country delivered punishment. Although it surprised many people that it made it that far because most people were for capital punishment. Michael Meltsner said,”Georgia was a shock. Before LDF's anti-capital punishment campaign, there had been no successful court challenge of the death penalty — even when it had been handed down in a blatantly racist or totally arbitrary manner” (www.michealmeltsner.com/interview.html).

Merriweather Lewis was a national hero. He was governor of the Louisiana Territory, and was renowned by many for exploring the Louisiana Territory with Clark. Lewis was on his way to Washington to deliver possibly classified information, when he stopped at an inn. There were two gunshots heard, and Lewis was found dead, supposedly having committed suicide. But, this was only through the word of Priscilla Grinder, the only known witness of the event. However, there are new clues. A ballistics test and an autopsy report show that it would have been impossible for Merriweather Lewis’ death to have been a suicide, but rather, murder by conspiracy.

The article that someone from my group chose was, “Queens 15-year-old arrested for bringing loaded gun to school, the second city student to do so in a week”. This article shows that young people can get their hands on a gun very easily. Guns have the power to kill anyone and they shouldn’t be in a household where a kid can have easy access to it. The gun that the 15 year old brought was a .38-caliber handgun and he easily brought it to a school. The school unfortunately had no weapon scanners, which is why the 15 year old was able to bring a gun to school. Luckily no one was hurt and he faced the consequences. The boy was with a group of people and someone could have been killed. Guns are not toys and there should be no gun violence.

Power inspires greed,jealousy, and hatred. It corrupts the minds of people whether they are rich, young, poor, or old. It can even make people use violence as a means to attain it. In “The Big Sleep” Carmen Sternwood is characterized as powerless, needy, and impotent however, she resorts to murder in order to compensate for her weakness. Her violent actions are contrary to her personality when she isn’t thirsty for power. This is most clearly exemplified throughout the novel as there are various instances in“The Big Sleep” two books where she is portrayed as helpless and weak. In contrast to her portrayal she is found to be guilty of murder by detective Marlowe and she threatens her blackmailer with a revolver.

Lincoln had many people that tried to assassinate him. There was only one that succeeded in killing Lincoln. He was careful with his methods and process. John Wilkes Booth was the man that killed Abraham Lincoln at Ford 's Theater. Nine months before Lincoln was assassinated someone else tried to kill Lincoln in August of 1864. The shooter shot and missed, but the bullet landed through his hat, but something had spoiled his shot so he missed the president 's head. It was a dark summer day so that could have been another reason he missed the shot that could have ended Lincoln 's life. The choices changed the United States, but also ended his life. People even tried to kill Lincoln before he became inaugurated because he basically cheated to

In the past few days another unarmed black male was shot and killed by a white officer. His name was Terrance Crutcher. Betty Shelby, the white officer identified by police as the one who shot Crutcher, was not the only officer to draw a weapon on him. With three officers standing in a line behind Terence Crutcher and at least one more officer standing several feet behind them, the video shows, his body falls to the pavement. The officer 's attorney says she was afraid Crutcher was reaching for a weapon when she opened fire. The 40-year-old Tulsa man was shot on September 16 in the Oklahoma City after his SUV broke down. The situation could have easily been handled different. The dashcam video shows Crutcher walking toward his SUV with his

I believe that gun control laws should be replaced. Imagine sitting in a movie theater and a gunman walks in and opens fire. You immediately fall to the floor trying to hide. You hear shots and people screaming. There is nothing you can do. Seventy people are shot, twelve which lost their life. How did this happen? How did the gunman obtain the weapon? This could have been prevented. According to research, more than 30,000 U.S. men, women and children die each year from gunshot wounds, the highest homicide rate from guns in the world. Of those 30,000 deaths, only about 1,500 are due to accidental shootings. Additionally according to research, Great Britain, France, Germany,

There comes a time in most of our lives where we feel proctection is needed. School shootings are not predicted, and no one knows for certain when they may have to prepare to take action. Our teachers/professors should have the rights to bear arms in classrooms. Being protected is the most comfortable feeling there is. Teachers have serveral reasons why they should carry handguns. The three reasons are listed as followed: to proctect themselves from mentally deranged students, to cease life threating situations towards students.

There is a family in Georgia. To begin, they had bad luck. For example, the dad, Nicostratus Pringle, has been in 3 ships while they sank. He somehow had survived all 3. When he was in preschool, a crazy, domestic terrorist had come to his school and shot 2 adults. One died, one was injured, obviously. She lived, but suffered from surgeries from the shot. The terrorist went to jail and got life in prison. When Nico (Nicostratus) was 10 (in 5th grade), the same terrorist (who’d apparently broken out of jail) came to the new school that he had moved to 3 years before. He again shot 2 people, one was killed, and the other one lived, but was injured. She was also shot in the waist and suffered from surgeries. It seemed

Disney 's Zootopia takes place in a fictional metropolis where animals are anthropomorphic and have all the human traits. Carnivores and herbivores live in peace and everything is dandy. Mostly because there are no humans. Humans tend to fuck everything up. On what kind of a diet are carnivores is never really explained, but I suspect they ate a lot of fish. For some reason, aquatic animals are not anthropomorphized. Neither are birds, reptiles, amphibians, or insects. Only mammals.
