Constant presentations over time of negative events, such as stabbings, fatal shootings and drug related activities have assisted in marring the Gold Coast’s reputation. It is true of course that the community needs to be aware of the violent events that are taking place for safety reasons as police union president Ian Levers warns “that it was only
Topic: The increase of gun control legislation decreases civilian safety. Guns are not for everyone. When dealing with guns, it is key to maintain the control on this lethal weapon. Improper use can lead to great consequences but proper gun control can reduce violence and the threat of crime within neighborhoods. Gun control is most worldwide debated topics today.
It is these changing dynamics that too often go unanswered in the discussion of a tragedy. Either we mistakenly presume the gun is fully responsible for the violence, or more often, fully innocent. We can see the problem a bit better by looking at a recent gun
It put the audience staring down the guns of the two high school murderers. It made all collectively share the victims’ own horror. For the survivors, who must have felt as their own hearts had been shot, it acknowledged that unlike the deceased, each would continue to feel the pain. With half the speech leading up to this peak moment and half coming back down to composure, this powerful sentence was placed rightly. Another well written question: “What do we say to this tragedy?” Just before, Gore told us what Cassie Bernall said as she watched the vicious firearm aimed at her, “Yes, I do believe in God.” Gore was counseling his audience to find comfort and hope and forgiveness in God.
The controversy of this issue that has the potential to pulverize this country is why it is such a good topic to discuss, people should be better informed and make a decision based on fact and not fiction. Many advocates of the limitations of guns can quote numerous examples of increasing violence and homicide crimes. But the area which hits the closest to home is the issue of violence among the teenagers
After all the person who was not at the shooting, and was responsible for the case being Wiggims would be a great idea due to the authority(Chief Wiggims), power(Quimby) and the gun that had made the sound when shot. In conclusion, there is a high evidential and probable chance that Chief Wiggims committed the murder of Mr.Burns due to loss of raise/position, Quimby’s influence and having the controlling and judgmental conclusion in the
Personal Response: I was interested in the event of the shooting because it made me think about what was going through Peter’s head while he was shooting. This was the main event in the book and I found it shocking and frightening. The way it was described made me visualise it all happening. Although I did not like the event that was happening I found it very interesting to read about, I liked that the event was told several times by several different characters point of views. A quote that I found shocking and frightening was when Patrick was running through the school and he writes “....a fine grey dust coated the broken bodies that lay twisted on the floor..... He’d see sprays of blood, and students crumbled on the ground” I found this quote quite disturbing.
Columbine Shooting April 20th, at Columbine Senior High School in Littleton, Jefferson County, Colorado, two teenage gunmen entered the school and began shooting. The enormous amount of media coverage that these events typically get serves to perpetuate the same kind of crime elsewhere. I see a major problem in the routine, continual violence that these children see everyday in the news, both print and television, and a responsibility on the part of the media for the type of information that it is exposing to today's youth. For days after the shooting, US morning news shows built new sets after the Littleton shooting as all the key players - parents, students, police and politicians went from show to show. We in America seem to feel that talking
A crime will always remain a crime no matter when, where, and how it occurred. A crime could easily be committed with a weapon varying not only from a possible firearm, but a golf club as well. It is proven that firearms in today’s society play an overpowering role only for protection services. Many people come to the conclusion that other elements should play a vital role that is just as important as the use of a gun in our society. Many people in our nation today think that the polity on gun control is not strict enough.
Gloria Neal ENG-106 June 7, 2013 Professor Victoria Smith Gun Rights and Gun Control The controversy over gun rights and gun control is a problem that has been around for years and it continues to gain attention with every shooting that takes place. The recent shootings from Newtown, Connecticut, and Aurora, Colorado have created even more problems for responsible gun owners both with owning firearms and trying to purchase new firearms. In a recent editorial in Surgical Neurology International Miguel Faria states, “ Politicians are once again calling for gun control without examining other psychosocial factors that play a tremendous role in gun violence” (Faria Jr., 2013, p. 85). Due to the unjustified acts of certain individuals, government
