His research says that possession of firearms shows no evidence of “more guns less crime”. Research on firearm possession and risk of violent death is reviewed. Also that having guns in the home can also facilitate suicides or homicides and the increased risk of violent deaths. Since guns do not have the ability to load themselves and find a target, every person has to make a conscious decision to commit a crime using a gun. With the new concealed weapons law passed in Illinois, criminals must think about if wonder if their next victim will be carrying a concealed weapon or not.

In the story “They Each Had a Gun,” Hannah LaMarca was robbed and assaulted with no way to defend herself. Had she been armed and trained in the use of a firearm, it is likely the outcome would have been different. We also can’t ignore the usefulness of a firearm as a deterrent to a criminal. Gun control advocates are so quick to cite statistics of gun deaths from any source they latch on to. It’s a shame that we don’t have much statistics for crimes that have been adverted because a robber or rapist changed his mind about attacking an armed person.
Year-Round Schooling Summer break is great. We all think so. But when you walk into Algebra 1 your first day back at school and the teacher says, “Pop quiz! Lets see what you know!” And that’s the moment when you realize that you don’t remember anything from the previous year. Year-round schooling is a better system than traditional because it’s better for students learning, it keeps kids involved and engaged, and, as much as this might surprise you, it doesn’t mean less vacation time.
Gaddis claims that not explaining clearly the distinction between rational and accidental causes is the more serious problem with Carr. Gaddis says in his book that there are three alternative views on causation. The first connecting cause is between the immediate, intermediate and the distant. The second connecting cause is between the exceptional and the general. While the third connecting cause is between the factual and the counterfactual, which Gaddis explains all three.

Summary of “Ban The Things. Ban Them All.” In the essay, “Ban The Things. Ban Them All,” written by Molly Ivins, she expresses concern about society’s ownership of guns, and how they have grown to be used more of a weapon for show, than for protection. Ivins also argues that the argument of “guns don’t kill people,” doesn’t exist, because she believes that they do, and that that may be all they ever do. Ivins states that she supports the Second Amendment: “A well–regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of people to bear arms shall not be infringed,”(437) and that adolescents in our society are NOT part of a well-regulated militia: “[there are] teenage drug dealers…cruising the cites of this nation perforating their fellow citizens with assault rifles” (437).

In Florida, it’s against the law to carry a gun into a school, an athletic event, a jail, a police station or a local government meeting, but not with hospitals, where it remains perfectly legal to carry a weapon (Carter, R., 2002). Allowing guns in hospitals violates the Patient Care Partnership because it says that we can expect a “Clean and Safe environment”. How is that so with guns being allowed in hospitals? That basically means that a dangerous criminal can just carry a weapon into a
