gun control

I was doing this project for school class. Apologize for not updating the movie destroyers for about three months or so but I'm going to watch X-men Apocalypse this weekend so I suggest that you can wait for the spoiler stuffs and critical discussion, some sort of things such as "how to kill apocalypse" if he isn't dead in the movie. But, whatever, gun control first.

I was sending surveys to people in my school and gosh, there was a mean dude who shouted bad words even I can see his name. But still, I need to quote the second part of his comment:

How can schools become safer in cases of gun violence?

How can schools become safer in cases of gun violence?

Generally speaking, when it comes to school shootings or just mass shootings for that matter, the perpetrator is more often than not, a man. While to some this may just seem like a sexist comment, in reality there is evedice that supports this claim. (That being said, there have certainly been women guilty of such acts). This article from NPR explores why male rampage shooters are more common than female shooters.

All over America people who are ill equipped to handle deadly weapons own guns. They have them in their bedside tables, in their desk drawers, their handbags, their glove compartments, and they think it is safe. We, as voters, allow people with mental illness, lack weapon safety training, and emotional instability to purchase these weapons at risk of their own safety and the safety of society as a whole. Just yesterday a woman in Pasadena Texas pulled a gun on a student when she saw the child fighting with another girl.

Its been more than a year since New Town. Politicians have said they will pass gun laws and bla..bla..bla. People have cried. But they've done nothing except encourage gun violence.

Adam Lanza used a Bushmaster in his school shooting. Rather than people boycotting guns or even that particular gun, Bushmaster sales surged and gained. That's why we need gun control in at least urban areas. Opponents of gun control will say that if everybody has a gun than you can defend yourself. This is not true.

Over the past few months, people across the nation have been debating about gun control. Topics ranging from firearm restrictions to background checks have been heavily discussed by both emotion and logic, by both gun supporters and gun control activists, and it seems like their is no middle ground for both parties to agree on. My opinion is that, although this is an emotional topic, emotions should be secondary to logic, for finding a solution to prevent gun control can not be on that makes us feel better. It has to be one that actually works and is not insanely expensive.

Gun control laws are made to reduce crime using guns. Since there are gun control laws, there has been more gun voilence than ever. Gun control laws are the government's way of taking control of us.

My argument is that I think we should not need gun control laws. I feel this way because firearms were made to protect. Also it is the Second Amendment that says we have the right to bear arms, and they are slowly taking it away.

I'm learning more about the sandy hook shooting/gun control right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is Will the sandy hook incident effect gun control law I was researching this question online, and I found president Obama speaking on Newtown high school here's a link https://vialogues.com/vialogues/play/6861 This video caught my attention because...Obama speech was very touching but did not nail down the actual problem or solve anything. He just eased the pain of others and told the people of america we need to do better.

In "Stop the gun madness," Eugene Robinson, writing for the Washington Post on December 31, 2012, makes an impassioned argument against gun control. He speaks frankly of the killing power of guns and the many tragedies in our country that spur conversations about gun control, yet never lead to anything. He also compares violence in Britain to that in the U.S. and analyzes why the differences come about. The column begins and ends with a plea to Congress and the executive branch to pass tighter gun regulations.

In the New York Times staff‘s editorial piece, “The Moment for Action on Guns,” from The New York times, the authors express their desire to ban or limit military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. These people also desire the need for intense background and mental test on all gun buyers.

In the Editorial Boards opinion piece, "Obama Gun Plan Faces Race Against Time," from the USA Today discusses gun bans and the affect it would have on the country.

In the Editorial Board's opinion piece, "NRA blames everyone except of itself" from USA Today, the author talks about how the NRA thinks they are no way responsible for these mass shootings.
