This websites goal is not only to go against guns, but also strike at the heart. As I scrolled down there was an important update which announced another shooting that killed young children along with the fact that it was the largest killing of children by a single shooter since the Sandy Hook massacre. On the Brady Campaign website it seems like they are trying to reach out to
Then are those who hate guns, are terrified of guns, and think guns should all be illegal. All the original amendment rights have been altered in some way since they were first derived in the late 1700’s. Gun control is a touchy subject in America. Several years ago a shooting took place at Virginia Tech killing 32 people. This kind of violence allowed many questions to arise about what could have been done to avoid the shootings.
Bianca Neri April 26, 2011 The “Northern Triangle”: A History of Violence and a Future of Urban, Youth Gangs Compounded by Drug Trafficking On December 24, 2005 a group of Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang members opened fire with their AK-47s killing 28 passengers in the city of Chamalecon, Honduras. The massacre was aimed at random victims and was meant as a protest and a warning against the government's crackdown on gang activities in the country. MS-13 and rival gang 18th Street trace their origins to the Rampart neighborhood of Los Angeles, California but the reach of their brutality has grown to span dozens of countries and has developed into a recognized transregional threat in the Americas. Central America’s neighbor to the north
Running head: Week 8 A Problem That Needs To Be Solved. An issue that seems to be on the rise more and more as time goes by is gun control. A lot of people believe that guns kill people. But I believe that careless people with guns kill people. No one ever said that guns killed Osama Bin Laden.
He makes a point to inform viewers that the U.N. nation’s gun-grab agreement is unconstitutional, politically suicidal for those who support it, and down-right-idiotic (2012). He really does have a variety of personal clips of political representatives using them as media propaganda to inform the viewers the pros and cons on gun control. He states that when guns were banned in Great Britain, murders increased by 41%. In New Orleans during the hurricane, the crime rate increased from people entering houses. They showed a picture of a map of a location where someone’s daughter would be in the event an emergency broke out.
“Youth and Gun Violence” Medical Terminology Youth and Gun Violence Violence, when will it stop? This question is asked by many parents and even youth across America. Violence with youth has spread across the states as if it were a contagious deadly virus only on a mission to take out children. It has caused fear and anger in many families and has risen in statistics rather than declined over the years. Children that are living in the poverty neighborhoods tend to see more violence than those that are living in the upper, middle class neighborhoods.
Guns are Never the Culprit The Newton Elementary School massacre was the second deadliest shooting in U.S. history and one of the deadliest around the world. Adam Lanza, armed with a power rifle, killed a total of 27 people including himself; seven adults, one being his own mother, and 20 children in an act that is still not explained to this day (Press, 2012). There have been many attempts to try and explain the actions of this disturbed individual and what would drive someone to commit such a hideous act; the main reason people are citing that this happened is lack of gun control. Other murder or suicides that have taken place over the years involving guns have struck up debate over whether or not citizens should be able to own guns;
Many people believe that it may be due to the economy and the struggle of people living in poverty to provide for their families. However in many of the recent shootings the firearm abuser has had either mental or emotional distress in different forms. One example of this is the recent fire fighter shooting that took place in Webster, New York. Sixty two year old William Spengler armed with a Bushmaster .223 Semi-automatic rifle the same firearm used in the Sandy Hook elementary shooting a few days before, implemented a horrible act on December twenty sixth of 2012. The rampage that ensued on this day started mainly after William received the news of his mother passing.
Edward Valiente English 120 Professor Taylor 11/20/11 Gun Control The United States is the leader among nations in deaths caused by firearms. According to the Legal Community Against Violence (LCAV), the “gun epidemic” kills more than 30,000 and causes almost 70,000 injuries each year (para 7). Eventually, this leads to an uprising of gun control advocates, who seek to reduce crime and death rates by setting a variety of gun control legislation among the state and federal levels. Although, anti-gun control advocates believe that heavy restrictions on the access of firearms is unfair to American citizens, and a violation of the 2nd amendment in the U.S. constitution. However, evidence shows that a lower restriction on gun control ensures
Gun Control Written By: Antonio Randle Professor Joseph Gredler DeVry University, Composition The debate over gun control in the United States has grown and diminished over the years. Recently this discussion has resurfaced, mainly triggered by a series of incidents involving mass killings by gunmen in non-combatant situations. The situation that initiated the most recent national probe was the killing of 20 schoolchildren in Newtown, Ct. in December 2012. It is safe to assume that the citizens of this country, or even internationally, sympathize with this tragic event, in addition to others. However, modifying the existing Second Amendment rights and principles will only jeopardize the
