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).
This article written by Sara Mosle was published on 20th Dec, 2012 in one of the opinion pages of the The New York Times. The article was published after the 6 days of the great shooting that killed 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Newtown. In this article the author discusses the importance of the knowledge of the terrible event like the Newtown’s shooting for the children. She is trying to convince the parents and the teachers that these kinds of events are not worth hiding. She argues that as a mother she even wants to hide these types of details from her 9 years old daughter but as a teacher she feels it necessary to tell the children that they can face these kinds of things may be many times in the future.
Sorry, I mean shoot the gun. Then the story got deeper, her daughter happened to be in the car after all the shoots had been fired. Imagine the level of controversy had the toddler been shot, or worst, fatally wounded as her mother was. Police had no idea that there was a baby in the vehicle right, than that means in all likely hoods that they had no idea as to whom the driver was. I understand that the women suffered from postpartum depression with psychosis but that never stopped her from doing anything before.
They believed that, “We have a purpose, a certain audience, a particular stance, a genre, and a medium to consider- and often as not a design” (Bullock, Goggin 1). It is important to know what exactly your purpose is; all writing must have at least one. It helps you to understand how to proceed with your work. Your audience is who is listening or reading what you are
Gun Control: An Unrealistic Deterrent “Give me your wallet and jewelry and nobody gets hurt!” A mugger has just thrust a gun into your face. At this point you have two options. First, comply with the mugger in the hopes that he will not shoot you. Second, distract the mugger while you draw your weapon and defend yourself. Alas, you are a devout gun control supporter and do not have any means of which to defend yourself from such an attack.
An Argument For Gun Rights Everyone should have the right to own a gun. Forget the little fact that the Second Amendment grants us the right to own a firearm for one second. Most of us can agree that a gun is a useful tool. After all, law enforcement and the military swear by theirs. It also doesn’t make sense to blame an inanimate object rather than the individual behind it and the reasons why gun violence occurs.
The first lesson learned at a gun range is gun safety. This helps people grasp the dangers of what a gun can do and how to handle it. The basic rules of gun safety are to never put finger on trigger, always point the gun to the ground and always have
Which seems nearly impossible. Everyone with a history of a criminal record should be prohibited from owning a gun no matter what the crime is. I feel like it’s fair and even though everyone’s criminal record might not be as bad as someone else’s I still think it would be for the best. I still highly doubt that doing a background check on people would reduce the violence because getting a gun these days is very easy. People can literally get them from anywhere.
It has become hopeful that with such bans, new drivers and minors will put away cell phones and maintain their attention to the road. A new proposal for the US Government may make it illegal to talk or text on a cell phone will driving anywhere in the US. This proposal will include hands free phone operation, since the government concluded that any kind of distracted driving may lead to fatal consequences. From the cell phone provider standpoint,
