It also doesn’t make sense to blame an inanimate object rather than the individual behind it and the reasons why gun violence occurs. A gun is a tool, not unlike a car or knife. When a law-abiding citizen makes the decision to purchase a gun, it is usually for the purpose of self-defense. It evens the playing field between a victim and a potentially dangerous criminal. In the story “They Each Had a Gun,” Hannah LaMarca was robbed and assaulted with no way to defend herself.

The two main characters of the film are Ricky and Wisdom who can not break out the never ending circle of gun crime but both for different reasons. Ricky tries to leave but he fails because he feels that he owes Wisdom for saving his life and

This would greatly affect the debate and outcome of the argument whether firearms should be allowed or not on campus.
We should be able to have this right but use it for a purpose. Resorting to gun violence instead of the old fashioned fists match is the way of many young folk.

It will not magically go away, no matter if we keep or do away with legal gun ownership. The problem I see with the gun community and the anti-gun community is each has its own perception of people’s actions. When we see a horrific gun crime unfold before our eyes everyone is left with feelings of remorse, shock and anger, leading the anti-gun community to see all criminals with the scary AR-15 and feeling the need to ban all guns; the gun community on the other hand, fights to preserve their inherent need to maintain the ability to protect themselves with in the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. We have a disconnection that is facilitating feelings of anger and frustration pertaining to both sides of the gun debate precipitated by the gun laws in the State of Arizona.

Basically anti-gun activists believe that normal people can not be trusted with weapons to protect themselves or their families.

Every conflict has its significant implications on administrative and departmental officer procedures. The mainly problem that always occurring is the physical brutality, which the main goal is to get the police department to enforce and adopt a written policy.

"The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose." (James Earl Jones, Online). Banning all or some weapons is not the solution to decreasing the increased gun related violence in the United States.
The boys told the investigators that they decided to go on a shooting spree after playing the video game Grand Theft Auto III. That particular game is one of the most popular games in which players can play missions that involve killing people or just play at random and go on shooting sprees. Although this game is far less violent and gory than other games, it does have enough influence to make two teens’ fire shots at their own family. The biggest factor to the video game violence is the fact that parents go out and buy these games without knowing that their child may be addicted to the game. If the chid is abusing the game it can become very addictive.
