I feel some crimes that have taken place in this country could have been stopped or lessened to a degree with a concealed firearm. The government can not ensure the 100 percent safety and wellbeing of all its citizens. For example the school shootings and workplace instances etc that happened in this country. But if there were more responsible law abiding people that had a concealed weapon on them some of these tragedies could have been avoided or at least minimized the damage that those criminals caused saving the lives of others is always a good thing. Criminals are not known for following the rules so all law abiding citizens have the right to defend themselves by any means needed.
I am not against it and I am not for it. I am however for the right to make that decision if the time comes. To know that my father, in as much pain as he was in, would have wanted to end his pain and suffering but because someone sitting in a seat of power has decided that he knows what is better for others. To know that he would have had to suffer due to this, now that would have upset me. There should never be government red tape involved when it comes to someone’s life.
Gun Violence Essay I believe if the government started banning guns and other weapons it would not limit gun violence. Just trying to ban a weapon or guns, wouldn’t stop the person from trying to commit the crime he or she is wanting to commit. I believe the only way they could reduce it is if they actually go door to door to every house in the United States and take every gun that that person has, and that still wouldn’t be enough. People will eventually find out that that’s what the government is doing and most likely try to hide their weapons if they wanted to keep them that bad. That’s why I think it would only reduce gun violence, not make it go away completely.
Still no matter how much one may argue, terrorism and child warriors are wrong and always will be. I agree with the issues that Lenn Goodman touched on in the “Some Moral Minima” article. I feel that the world should be on one accord no matter your race, gender, religion. These issues would change anyone’s view, especially if it was done to their family or friends. Sometimes it has to hit home for most to understand; but why wait until then, it should never happen because it was and will always be
He said that if people acted on virtue then there would be no need for reign by terror but I think that because everyone has different virtues there would still be a fair amount of conflict. And as for terror being justice, I am not so sure. By terrorizing one person others will be affected, and they may or may not deserve to be put through that stress. If the troublesome child of a good family is killed for his negative actions, the family is going to suffer due to their loss. Maybe there is a better way to punish those accused of wrong doings.
Also, the Declaration of Independence states that everyone has the right to life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. Killing an innocent child before it even has a chance at life is taking all of those rights away from him. Just because the baby cannot speak for himself yet, doesn’t mean he should not have these constitutional rights and freedoms. It is the law of this country that every American citizen has that freedom and those rights. Yes, everyone in the United States does have that freedom to choose, but killing their child should not even be an option when it means taking away that child’s right to life.
But in all reality, if guns weren’t around, people would still find a way to do crazy messed up things to kill people. Yes with stricter laws on gun control there will be less shootings, but what will replace guns? President Obama’s attempt to make owning guns harder doesn’t invade your rights. Having rules to protect people is all that should matter. While some worry that they cant do what they want, the United States
Since law enforcers are not enough to ensure safety for every citizens, citizens should be allowed to protect themselves. Opponents of gun control like NRA also argue that gun control policies are for authoritarian models of government like the Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy (Rogers, 2013). These are governments that disarm the population due to the fear of being overthrown due to their bad governance and violation of human rights. Therefore, democrats should not be afraid of being overthrown by disarming citizens if they respect human
The author used an ethos and logos appeals to introduce his or her purpose as he/she stated “The best way to teach teens that sexting is wrong is to prosecute them legally.”, “But this is something that just cannot be dismissed as kids ‘ doing stupid things.’” ”Authorities aren’t convicting children, but using the law as teaching tool and trying to put stop to a toxic new trend.” And “The civil libertarians may wish to consider their position.”. The author wanted to persuade the parents and the expert that the authorities don’t convicting the teens and considering them criminals, but they are using this punishment because it is the best way to teach them it is wrong and to stop them from doing it
Banning guns will take away yet another piece of people’s liberty, which is another step to socialism and totalitarians (Messerli). Some individuals say that just because there is a gun control does not mean that criminals will actually not use guns. Carrying a concealed weapon increases the chance of a confrontation escalating and becoming lethal. When afraid, intoxicated, or untrained in conflict resolution is when most firearms are being used
