There were one sniper in the Sphinx and two in the Luxor roof. Nobody will escape from that situation. One of the thieves had the hostage by his neck pointing him with a gun and the other one started to fire with his rifle. One of the snipers made a shot and killed him instantly and the other one had to surrender in
Now imagine an army of criminals with assault rifles versus a police force with no weapons at all. This nation will fall into anarchy over night. Anyways the government can never take away our guns, its just not cost effective, and a majority of people would find a way to hide them
Do Stricter Gun-Control Laws Help Prevent Gun-Related Injuries/Deaths? Gun control arguments are a hot topic in America and around the world; it is a topic not likely to go away anytime soon. Arguments for and against carry their own merit and can be lengthy and broad by nature, but our intent is to debate the effect of gun-control laws and the effect they have on gun-related injuries/deaths. The argument presented here will get to the crux of why laws should or should not be enacted to prevent social ills. Most agree that gun-related injury or death of innocent citizens should never be tolerated, but there are opinions on the course to take in an effort to discover a solution.
Buck Maples Government April 18, 2013 Constitutional Right……or Wrong The newspaper headlines read: “26 Dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School”, “Shooter Opens Fire in Colorado Theater. 16 Dead, 58 Wounded”, “U.S. Representative Giffords Shot in Safeway Parking Lot”, Columbine, Virginia Tech…….the list could go on and on. There is no doubt that gun violence is prevalent in society today, which is why the topic of guns and gun control is being argued across the nation. There are compelling arguments for both sides of this debate, but the ultimate principal of gun ownership is written within our Bill of Rights in the form of the Second Amendment stating an individual’s right to bear arms.
A Shot at Gun Control In 1776, our Constitution was written by our forefathers. The 2nd Amendment, “The Right to Bear Arms”, was constructed deliberately so that all citizens had the right to carry weapons and protect themselves against a government that could become to powerful or tyrannical. In the years that followed, the creation of the Constitution, the 2nd amendment was essential and fundamental to the growth of our country as a whole, but now over 200 years later the 2nd amendment has become fundamentally flawed in current modern society. Most citizens nowadays don’t carry firearms for protection and for the use of sustenance. Citizens today use firearms for more devious actions.
For those who have delusional thoughts about looser gun laws Switzerland would be their prime example. In the country of Switzerland since there is no standing army most of the males are enlisted into their militia and have to participate in yearly training exercises until 35. Along with their militia training, there are 420,000 governments issued, fully automatic rifles. (Swiss foreign and security policy network). Of those 420,000 assault rifles only 40 murders with firearms were committed in the entire country.
Background checks are also mandated by law for anyone purchasing a gun of any type. Depending on the type of gun and the area where it is purchased, this background check can take anywhere from a few minutes, up to six weeks, or even longer. This mandate was also accepted by the gun control lobby. Current laws provide stiff penalties to anyone engaging in illegal trafficking or use of guns. For example, use of a firearm during commission of a felony carries an automatic three year sentence, on average, when convicted in a court of law.
They should not be able to take away our rights that were given to us long ago. The people of the United States of America do not like the government trying to pass this law. People use guns for self-defense and hunting. People are standing up for their rights and showing the government that they can’t walk on us. This gun control is making ammunition prices raise.
Haydn Collyer Topic: Gun Control Writing 122 9/25/12 The topic of gun control is a highly disputed one. I believe that America has more important matters to attend to rather than getting into a dispute over something that has been argued since its creation, firearms. To the average American a “gun” is something that is only made for killing and is only found in the hands of villains, criminals and law enforcement/military. I am here to tell you that that is not the case at all. Millions of honest Americans own guns.
Guns have been around for a long time throughout history guns have played a major role. Our founding fathers used guns to defend and take over America. They have placed amendments in the constitution to ensure that we will always have guns. The liberals have been calling on taking away guns and making very strict gun control laws. Gun control doesn't work look at Chicago for instance they have some of the highest crime rates but yet they have some of the strictest gun laws.
