gun-control | First, the solution that allows teachers to be armed will give the whole school a reputation to ‘stay away’. If there is a lunatic or a psycho man out there, it is unlikely for him to go to the schools with teachers that are armed strongly. So it somehow helps to prevent more emergencies, massacre, or shootings. Moreov... |
gun-control | In lockdowns, all the students hide under the table or in closet or in a corner that makes them become an easier target to the shooter.

The shooting in Florida has aroused the heated discussions around the United States on gun issues, gun laws, and how to keep communities safe, especially ally school. Students at Stoneman Douglas H... |
gun-control | Finally, the armed teachers issue is still having many opposite viewpoint and discussion toward it. However, for the most part, allowing teachers to carry guns is not a good idea. It’s still a concern that American gun violence is not a war, so why is the president wanting to ‘militarize school’ with armed teachers. To... |
gun-control | First, the teachers are going to carry guns on their body while teaching, and if there is a gun shooting that occurred in the classroom, the teacher promptly shot back, students may be more dangerous. During the ‘fighting’, in addition to the bullets of the perpetrators, students can get shot by the teacher’s guns beca... |
gun-control | Second, if the teachers do not carry a gun on his body but hide somewhere in the classroom, how do they react when the shooter appears suddenly, he can be one of the students in the classroom? School assaults happen very suddenly and in just a few minutes. It can happen in the classroom, in the library, in the dining r... |

Current assault-style rifles, like the all so popular AR-15, are available to all US Citizens through the 2nd Amendment and can fire hundreds of rounds in a minute. These types of firearms have allo... |
gun-control | Repealing the 2nd Amendment will take away gun rights from all U.S citizens, many Americans assume that all mass shooters have a diagnosed mental illness and therefore we should only take away gun rights from the mentally ill. This is because many Americans cannot cope with the fact that somebody would be capable of in... |
gun-control | When the founding fathers sat down to discuss and draft the US Constitution they could not predict the military grade weapons we have today.

gun-control | Not only does the U.S Government have the right to interpret the amendments but they also can repeal them, and repealing an amendment is actually something that has occured in the past and therefore it is perfectly legal and possible.

gun-control | Ever since the United States fought its way to independence from Britain it’s prided itself on how every United States citizen is free and has liberty.

gun-control | Something many people do not understand is that the Second Amendment does not account for the firearm rights of the military so if it were to be repealed it would not take away the military’s right to own firearms, which is a common concern of people with the idea of repealing the Second Amendment or gun control in gen... |
gun-control | Another common argument against repealing the Second Amendment and gun control in general is that firearms are needed for self defense, this argument is very common within the pro-gun party. Even the National Rifle Association’s Executive Vice President, Wayne LaPierre, has spoken out about guns being vital to defend p... |
gun-control | The people of the United States are living in terrible firearm conditions where they experience anxiety about going to places nearby out of fear of getting attacked by somebody with a gun, and the number of innocent people dying because of a firearm is increasing and has left families devastated.

gun-control | According to The Editors/ Marie Claire, Feb 23, 2018 the main idea of this subject is that teachers think it’s the worst idea for them to be concealed with weapons. He interviews 30 teachers from all around the world about the idea of carrying guns and here’s what a few of them had to say… “Arming teachers in the class... |
gun-control | This would send the wrong message to young students in my classroom. I would never want my students to believe that concealed weapons in our classroom are necessary to be safe. My values are not for sale, and therefore and monetary compensation would not change my opinion on this matter.”- Alex, 27, teaches 1st grade i... |
gun-control | Students needs to be in an environment were they can learn and have positive energy. Bringing a gun into the class will enforce things we are trying to avoid in the classroom. This could also lead into the teacher coming back the next day and her weapon could have been taken by a student. This makes up more criminals i... |
gun-control | So why would you want to force someone who doesn’t want to carry the gun into carrying it that may lead into false alarms. Allowing this would add the danger to students in to facing it rather than reducing the fear. Most school systems have done a bad job in preparing teachers and students for classroom situations lik... |
gun-control | In conclusion of this topic, I don’t think this will solve any problems because all in all there is no way to keep the school, parents, or the community happy. Everyone will have something to say then that will be led into another problem as well. Also, students can be put in risk of an injury in the event of an accide... |
gun-control | Another idea, by Yuval Rosenburg/ The Fiscal Times, February 22, 2018 is will arming teachers in America as Donald Trump have proposed cost a lot. According to this source the answer is yes. That means is there was a law that was passed to allow teachers to carry guns. It will be roughly 718,000 teachers’ nationwide th... |
gun-control | Not training teachers would even be a worse idea, that would lead into more problems, being that teachers might not know how to use it and then accidentally use it the wrong way. Even with the proper training, there’s no way a teacher with a weapon can take down a shooter. In conclusion, in Yuval Rosenburg article the ... |
gun-control | A third writer, Dave Anderson / List land, states that teachers will be under a lot of stress from the responsibility having a gun could carry onto them and being fearful of the danger it may cause.

gun-control | Guns have become a threat to society and therefore no one should be trusted using a gun. For instance, “Most firearms deaths among kids and teens were intentional, with 53 percent of deaths classified as homicides, and 38 percent deemed suicides, according to the study. Only about 6 percent of deaths involving firearms... |
gun-control | Across all suicide attempts not involving a firearm, less than 5 percent will result in death. But for gun suicides, those statistics are flipped: approximately 85 percent of gun suicide attempts end in death” (Gun Violence in America pg 1). “CWLA’s National Blueprint points out that children and youth exposed to chron... |
gun-control | African Americans were also more than twice as likely to be personally worried about gun violence, the research found”(PTSD in Oakland: Gun Violence Victims, Families Suffer Continuos PTSD pg 1). However people might say, “Safety isn’t always safe. You can find one on every gun.”(Andrea Gibson). “Nothing is wrong with ... |
gun-control | The solution to America’s gun problem is background checks and restricting gun sales. Removing guns out of their home or passing a prevention gun bill could save lives. Here’s how the solution works. In order to purchase a gun from a federal firearms licensed dealer (FFL), a consumer must provide identification and pas... |
gun-control | In order to pass a bill, introduce by coming up with a great idea find a Senator or Representative to sponsor it, draft the bill, gather signatures from other legislators and then introduce your bill by dropping it in the hopper. You’ll need support from the Committee Chair if you want a hearing or at least get them in... |
gun-control | The Governor can either sign your bill, refuse to sign it, or veto it. If the Governor doesn’t sign your bill within a certain timeframe it automatically becomes a law. If the Governor vetoes the bill, it can still become law if both the House and Senate vote to override the veto requiring 2/3rds vote. For example, “Re... |
gun-control | Nevertheless background checks save lives. They are the foundation of any effective effort to reduce gun violence and are associated with lower rates of gun homicides, suicides and gun trafficking in states that require them for all handgun sales. But current federal law only requires licensed gun dealers to conduct ba... |
gun-control | The leading causes of death in America is guns. African Americans are 2.5 times more likely to be killed by a gunshot.

If you don’t take action, then there will be more consequences and fatalit... |
gun-control | Firearm ownership in the United States has become a controversial issue. The second amendment guarantees the right to bear arms, but in the light of recent frequent mass shootings this right has been challenged. Americans have the right to own firearms for protection and security of life and property, to provide food f... |
gun-control | The second amendment provides Americas the right to bear arms. Firearms have been around since 1364 CITE, when the first recorded use of a gun was used and has been expanding with more people owning guns every day CITE. There are many reasons to own a firearm, from using it for self-defense. Most Americans own firearms... |
gun-control | Firearms are very useful and have saved many lives. The sad fact is that even though they can be used for good things, people have also found many ways to use this great invention to be harmful to people and property. Ever since guns were invented, they have been used against people and caused injuries. The right of fr... |

The primary game sought is usually the oldest and most mature animal from a given population. This is typically a male with the largest body size or largest antlers or horns. However, hunting is activity th... |
gun-control | Guns do not kill people, people kill people. Guns are not the problem today. Criminals will kill regardless of gun banning. Before guns were created, people were killing people. Yes, a gun is a deadly weapon and yes people are killed from gun related incidents every day, but guns do not have the ability to harm anyone ... |
gun-control | The right of free speech, the right to defend oneself, the right to go freely about one’s business without harassment, the right freely to associate, and the right to private property and due process, were all considered so obvious that many during the ratification process of the Constitution thought them unnecessary t... |
gun-control | There are many reasons why guns should be banned. Nowadays we live in a fast world full of stress in which one a simple gesture, look or opinion can put end at your life in a second, just for a bad interpretation or a madness people. Gun control is simply not an option. It is a real issue that we have to face and as so... |
gun-control | No guns around us means less murders and that is a good reason to get rid of guns completely. No other developed country has such a high rate of gun violence like USA. At this moment there are many countries that have outright banned the sale, use and ownership of guns, in those countries the murders and accidental dea... |
gun-control | The possibly to have a gun today is as simple as wanted. Nobody care if the person that go to the store and buy a gun have any mental disorder like psychotic or delusional, in which one the person pulls the trigger without real consciousness of what she or he is doing. |
gun-control | In 2005, Congress passed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which shields gun manufactures and sellers from civil claims brought by victims of gun violence. However, research overwhelming concludes than more guns equal more death. If we put a gun in the wrong hands is just a matter of time that some innocen... |
gun-control | However, guns are necessary in a violent world. They provide protection for muggings, home invasions, terrorist incidents and mass shooting. Furthermore, if the people have the possibility to possess guns in the worst-case scenario, they can use them against the tyranny. Should it ever come to insurrection, then the pe... |
gun-control | In other words, guns are an incredible invention made for the men to defend themself in case necessary. Do not misunderstand the original purpose for which one was created with the different use that we are giving to them nowadays. Violence generate more violence. We need to give ourselves the opportunity to be better ... |
gun-control | Gun violence in Louisiana has spun out of control the last few years, passing other states and taking the lead in highest firearm deaths in the U.S. Louisiana hasn’t had a “good year” since 2011 with a low of 865 firearm deaths that year, compared to Louisiana’s nearly 4.6 million residents. Louisiana has been in and o... |
gun-control | If the state itself, and the people that reside in it would help to push these laws, then maybe one-day gun violence will drop to almost nothing. Gun laws and permits are very lenient in Louisiana when it comes to owning and carrying a gun. In Louisiana, you do not have to a permit or license to purchase a firearm. Und... |
gun-control | These gun laws are found as preemption laws because they are pushed to be changed every day. I agree with the right to bear arms unless that individual is not fit for a firearm. Eventually, the only way the state is going to be able to fix the illegal gun problem is to modify our current gun laws. In Louisiana, the onl... |
gun-control | In Louisiana, it is even legal to open carry your firearm. It is completely legal as long as your firearm is showing and everyone can see it. Louisiana has always been in and out of the position of being the state with the most homicides or even firearm homicides. Since 1999, over twenty-six thousand teens and children... |
gun-control | Most of the children and teen deaths are done by another child or teen that has access to a firearm. Baton Rouge is widely known through the state for being state capital but also being murder capital. A gun is even allowed to be carried on a college campus in Louisiana as long as its legal and it has to be concealed w... |
gun-control | New Orleans firearm murder rate is almost sixty people for every one-hundred thousand people. In the year 2011, New Orleans had the highest firearm death rate than any other city in the United States. New Orleans is also 4th in the nation for highest firearm deaths right now. In the year of 2017, one in every five peop... |
gun-control | Statics shows that when “gun control” was tried in places like Chicago and Washington D.C., it had absolutely no effect on bringing down crime and murder rates. From 2013 to 2016, the child murder rate for the entire United States increased by a whole thirty-percent. Data also shows that firearm homicides among the oth... |
gun-control | For example, Vermont has limited gun laws much like Louisiana, but their firearm murder rate is low. Representatives of Louisiana looks at the state as “the state that protects itself”. State officials are looking out for the safety of their own residents by allowing citizens to legally conceal and carry a firearm. But... |
gun-control | The suicide rate by firearm in Louisiana has grown more than thirty-percent since 1999. Most unintentional deaths by gun are caused by kids playing with guns, or guns being left around and unsupervised. There are even cases when cops have fatally killed a juvenile for mistakenly thinking they had a gun. Cop shootings h... |
gun-control | There has been a lot of mass shootings in the past few years but is gun control really the answer to end all this? There has been a lot of talk about there being more strict gun control laws, but this is not the way to help end mass shooting. Guns actually save more lives each year then they do kill, according to the C... |
gun-control | For example Chicago, IL has some the most strict gun laws but the highest crime rate. Majority of the mass shooting happen in gun free zones. There is a quite a bit of school shooting each year, and there is no one armed at most schools which makes them a easy target for mass shootings. Is there shooting at gun stores? |
gun-control | Thats why we the most shootings in gun free zones. People are going to kill if they want to kill. Having gun controls not gonna stop someone from killing people. If we look at 9/11 there was about 3,000 people killed and we never had talk about banning air planes. There has been a few cases where people took a car and ... |
gun-control | If Gun Control laws increased it will decrease the amount of crime in the The United States Such as School shootings, Massive Murder, and armed robbers and etc. Gun Control Laws will decrease crime. A high-capacity magazine should be less available for people, and gun laws should increase. According to Procon.org “High... |
gun-control | According to gun-control.procon.org “A majority of adults, including gun owners, support common-sense gun control such as background checks, bans on assault weapons, and bans on the high-capacity magazine”/ “97% of American voters and 97% of gun owners support universal background checks. 67% support a nationwide ban o... |

Law enforcement officials said Tuesday at least a dozen of the 23 firearms recovered in Las Vegas were semiautomatic rifles ... |
gun-control | Mass shootings are associated with states without laws restricting large-capacity magazines. 67 percent of homicide victims were killed using a firearm. Approximately 1.4 million people have died from firearms in the U.S. between 1968 and 2011. This number includes all deaths resulting from a firearm, including suicide... |
gun-control | VPC research has found a gun is far more likely to be used in a homicide or suicide than in a justifiable homicide. More guns are stolen each year that are used in self-defense.” Guns can also be accidental, even if the owners are trained. According to the NETguncontrol “, 505 deaths due to accidental or negligent disc... |
gun-control | Gun control is a subject that is being debated and will continue to be debated for years to come. There are many different views of what causes crime. Some say crimes caused by guns and others say that it is the people behind the guns. In James Q. Wilson’s essay entitled “Just Take Away Their Guns”, he tries to propose... |
gun-control | Wilson’s plan to train police officers to be able to spot would be gun carriers more easily, arming the police with hi-tech weapon detectors, , and letting the police keep the authority to “pat down” people suspected with reasonable-suspicion would have too many negative effects to even consider enforcing in the United... |
gun-control | How does one pick someone out of a crowd that looks like they are carrying a gun? I don’t think it is possible to look at someone and tell if they are carrying a gun or not. That is ridiculous. Just because of the way someone looks doesn’t mean that they are carrying a gun. What criteria should be used to determine if ... |
gun-control | I know many people that carry guns that probably would be stopped because of the way they look. They look like your everyday, average American teenager. I doubt very seriously that a police officer, even with rigorous training, could pick someone out of a crowd that was carrying a gun. If police forces employed this ta... |
gun-control | If police do find guns on a person that looks a certain way, do you stop everyone that looks like that? I do not think so. If they did that, then they would have certain groups getting stopped all of the time. Imagine someone walking down the street with some of their friends and you get stopped four times in two miles... |
gun-control | This would stop the unlawful, harassing, demoralizing searches that would happen every day. The police officers could just aim the detector at the individual and tell if they had a big hunk of metal in their pocket. If they detected enough metal on someone, then that gives them reasonable suspicion to stop someone. How... |
gun-control | Gunns Limited are a forestry enterprise based in Tasmania, with market capitalization of $204 million. Gunns undertook a pronounced change of strategic direction in 2010, attempting to revitalize itself and ensure future success after poor recent social and financial performance. This strategic direction was not allaye... |
gun-control | The weakened financial performance recorded by Gunns in the past two years has been heavily predicated by the difficult economic conditions in which the business has been operating. The global financial crisis (GFC), coupled with an appreciating Australian dollar and the March Japanese earthquake, have all negatively i... |
gun-control | The GFC softened demand throughout world markets, hurting export-based industries (Forestry Tasmania 2011, Gunns Limited 2010). Furthermore, the collapse of the demand for managed investment products as a realist of the GFC caused the divestment of the initiative by the same name directed by Gunns, spurring further fin... |
gun-control | Post-GFC, the Japanese market in particular was showing signs of recovery, an important revelation due to the position of Japan as the largest export market for Gunns, accounting for 60% of volume of export sales (Gunns Limited 2011a). However, the March occurrence of a large-scale earthquake in Japan offset this posit... |
gun-control | Amidst the continuing GFC, the Australian dollar continued to appreciate as a result of the relative strong performance of the domestic economy as compared to other developed economies (Australian Government 2008). Demand for the Australian dollar was strong as Chinese demand for Australian exported minerals continued ... |
gun-control | Despite the past turbulence experienced within the economic environment, however, all of these issues are not likely to continue into the future, presenting the opportunity for Gunns to capitalise on the strength and stability of the Australian economy and guarantee future success. The GFC has mostly subsided, and worl... |
gun-control | Furthermore, it is likely that the Australian dollar will depreciate for two reasons. Firstly, an expected interest rate cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia on the 1st of November 2011 will result in decreased demand for the Australian dollar due to decreased levels of return on foreign investment into Australia. Also... |
gun-control | The future outlook for the economic environment appears to be positive, a sentiment shared by investors who were quick to purchase the forestry assets divested by Gunns in 2010 (Gunns Limited 2011a). The advantages of operating in a stable domestic economy will be realised once the Australian dollar appreciates to pre-... |
gun-control | Government regulation of all industries across the Australian economy has increased markedly in the wake of World War II (Carlin 2011). In the forestry industry alone, there are over 20 separate laws drafted in relation to forest practices (IRIS 2011, Gunns Limited 2011b). The political and regulatory environment is ex... |
gun-control | Though regulation generally carries with it a negative tone, caused by free-market economic thinking that aims to keep government intervention to a minimum, the regulatory stance imposed by the Tasmanian government on Gunns is not entirely negative. According to the Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture (20... |
gun-control | This is reflected in the approval of the Bell Bay Pulp Mill, which Gunns has identified as the foundation of its future business (Gunns Limited 2010, Gunns Limited 2011a, Gunns Limited 2011b). The benefits to the Tasmanian economy through job creation, value added to GDP, and the collection of tax revenue (estimated at... |
gun-control | Another example of the positive relationship between the government and Gunns Limited is the termination of the rights to logging native wood in Tasmania, from which Gunns received a $23m payout. This allowed the government to fulfill its commitment to the wider Tasmanian community who wished for sounder environmental ... |
gun-control | For this reason, the outlook for the political and regulatory environment in which Gunns is operating in is neutral with a leaning towards a more likely, but not certain, positive outcome. Correctly managing relations with all regulatory and political bodies is of the utmost importance for Gunns heading into the future... |
gun-control | The sociocultural environment has been of utmost importance to Gunns Limited, with operations interrupted and protested against as a result of 30 years of conflict between the company and wider society. Precedent has shown that companies can be shut down, or at least highly adversely affected because of social pressure... |
gun-control | In the last decade, social awareness of the impact of business on the environment has strongly increased (Golds 2011, Panwar et. al 2006). This sociocultural trend has become an important concern for businesses looking to maximise productivity and competitiveness (Shrivastava and Scott 2007). The significance of this t... |
gun-control | Previous to the strategic realignment in 2010, Gunns typically ignored social pressures in favour of chasing productivity and profitability gains (Forestry Tasmania 2011, Gunns Limited 2010). This resulted in extensive conflict and climaxed with Gunns decision to withdraw from the native forest industry and instead use... |
gun-control | The decision to attempt to cater more sufficiently to social stakeholders can only reap positive consequences if it is implemented correctly and the sociocultural environment is thus manipulated in a way that Gunns is seen in a more positive light. Gunns commissioned Pox Populous (2011) to conduct a report into the soc... |
gun-control | Gunns has effectively addressed the sociocultural myopia that was damaging the reputation and performance of the company by engaging more openly with the community. This management of the demographic changes the company has undergone has the potential to give the company a strategic advantage (Strack et. al 2008). The ... |
gun-control | It’s late at night, and you’re home all alone. You double checked to make sure all of the doors were locked and made sure all of the windows were closed. It’s been a quiet night, but for some odd reason you cannot sleep. During your restless night, you hear a bump in the kitchen. At first you dismiss it as the wind. |
gun-control | But there it is again, and it’s louder this time. You’re scared, your pulse is racing and you cannot think of what to do. You don’t know whether to call 911 or just lay there and hope whatever it was will go away. But then you realize you have a 9-mm Smith and Wesson handgun in the nightstand. You quietly get it out, t... |
gun-control | You don’t want to create a situation that isn’t necessary so you huddle next to your bed and hope whomever it is takes what they want and leaves. You hear them walking down the hallway toward you. Your bladder nearly lets go. The intruder tries to open your door but luckily you locked it. |
gun-control | The time has come, you raise from the side of your bed, instinctively assuming a marksman’s pose and fire just as the intruder is raising his weapon. He flies back against the wall and slumps into a lifeless pile. You then proceed to call 911. Now, that is not an uncommon scenario in the present state of society. Now w... |
gun-control | They want a ban on all firearms. But that is not the solution, the solution is the education of every person that purchases a firearm and required trigger locks, and stricter compliance by judges to the sentences mandated for crimes involving firearms. The “most recent attempt at federal gun legislation was the Gun Con... |
gun-control | “Most everyone will agree that felons, addicts, morons, juveniles, alcoholics, the mentally incompetent and others in whose hands even an ice pick or baseball bat becomes a deadly weapon, should be denied guns.”(Selib 202). But banning all hand guns is not the way to go about lowering the rate of crimes involving hand ... |
gun-control | As I have pointed out, gun control legislation has only a marginal effect. I think that more headway in lowering handgun related crimes could be made through education. This exact point is made by Barry Goldwater: Gun education, in fact, can actually reduce lawlessness in a community, as was demonstrated in an experime... |
