Essays on Guns

Is it safe to allow teachers and students to carry guns? Will it be safer to give this permission only to the one group? These are difficult questions that create controversial opinions. News show schools, universities and other educational institutions had mostly negative impact of weapons. The history has many examples of deadly shootings in educational facilities. “23-year-old student Seung-Hui Cho [killed] 32 people in two locations and [wounded] an undetermined number of others on campus” (CNN Library) in the Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia. There are other examples of students who used guns to kill or wound people in ...

A Review of Literature

INTRODUCTION The United States has currently been struggling with a great deal of political warfare, social unrest and public protest from the inside and from terrorism, global criticism and immigration battles from the outside. There are so many issues that the subjects of debate seem endless. One of the most controversial and often debated issues today is gun control. There is no doubt that it is incredibly dangerous when offenders are armed when they commit crimes like burglary or in a car-jacking; more so when these offenders have every premeditated intent to kill. At the same time, not everyone ...

Abstract

The rate of gun possession in the U.S has increased progressively since 2011 as gun holders have continued to purchase various weapons. The universities and institutions of higher learning have not been left behind. Twenty-three State administrations in 2011 deliberated on bills to allow the carrying of weapons at their public establishments of higher education, and several public institutions in at least six nation-states at present allow firearms on university grounds or in the buildings. Although the rightful ownership of weapons on school grounds is a current and limited occurrence, verdicts by the Supreme Court and institutional representatives propose ...

The concept of free trade has indeed presented some industries as more appealing to the consumer than others. For instance, the standard practice is that most agricultural food processing and manufacturing industries are liked and loved by the public while the agricultural non-food processing industries such as the tobacco industry have been continuously subjected to criticism and unjustified treatment from the larger public. The tobacco industry, in particular, has been subjected to excessive taxation, stringent operational rules and regulations and publicly portrayed as a health hazard primarily because tobacco smoking and usage is associated with liver cirrhosis and some ...

Today, the mention of crime in the inner cities immediately whips up emotions regarding unlawful possession of guns by criminal gangs. There are many reports on violence that result from the use of unregistered guns over the past decades.The crime rate in inner cities goes interchangeably with unlawful possession of guns. When the government put laws that seek to control ownership of guns, do the steps help to stop crime and protect citizens? Robert La Follette argues that the issue of gun control should not focus on whether to support ownership or to oppose ownership, rather, decisions should be ...

After the carnage of 9/11, the international community turned its local and joint efforts to the struggle against terrorism and prevention of terroristic activities. Antiterrorism initiatives have been run by various international organizations, particularly by the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee, and by the United States government, which applies its resources to combat terroristic activities on a domestic scale and in countries overwhelmed by terroristic groups. As Chalk notes, “the coordinated terrorist strikes of 9/11 galvanized a [] response by the United States government to increase the country’s physical and financial security in the face of potential future attacks” (Chalk, ...

In an analysis of the documented homicides in Chicago, Ford Fessenden and Haeyoun Park’s Chicago’s Murder Problem reported a pattern that until recently remained predictable and somewhat within the same range as other cities in the United States. According to the reporters, between 1996 and 2003, there was a steady decrease in the homicide rates before “progress stalled” in 2004 and murder-related crimes remained stable until 2013 (Ford and Park par.1). However, by 2014, Chicago's homicide rates assumed an “upward trajectory,” and the writers presume that they remain so as tensions over race and police conduct continue ...

Similar to other cities in the country, Atlanta experienced a surge in gun violence beginning in the mid-1980s running to the 1990s. During this time there was a sharp rise in gun related violence across the nation with 50% increase in gun homicide recorded among juveniles and young adults. Firearm violence against the youth below 18 years was also on the increase with young African Americans affected the most. For example in Fulton County homicide against young black men increased four times over. These statistics and others reiterated the fact that conventional approaches of rapid response were not effectively ...

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury is an acquired injury to the brain that results from an external blunt or penetrating force to the head while; intentional hypoxia is the loss of oxygen supply to the brain which leads to a continuum of injury severity. A review of current literature on this topic suggests that comparisons can be readily drawn between traumatic brain injury and hypoxic brain injury in a rehabilitation setting. Even so, diagnosis of hypoxic brain injury and traumatic brain injury is essential in providing guidance on decisions of treatment. Treating intentional hypoxia, however, involves an establishment of the desired ...

There are different perspectives regarding gun control, and diverse contexts that either encourage or criticize the possession and use of guns. As the 21st century societies are becoming more violent, partially due to internet media that allows global spread of aggressive behavior that imply gun usage, people around the world are becoming increasingly influenced to carry guns for self – protection. On the other hand, carrying guns also encourage gun violence among civilians, threatening the social and individual security. There is a complex and controversial discussion around gun control, in terms of legislation, the context of carrying and using a ...

The Brady campaign to prevent gun violence uses gun crime statistics to try to show the high rate of crime because of high gun possession. Predictably, this organization will use gun crime statistics to show the dangers of having many guns and the need to control gun ownership. The NRA on the other hand puts forward the argument that incidences of gun violence decrease if more guns are in the hands of the population. Clearly, statistics should prove one side of the argument wrong because the numbers are the same. However, each side tries to use the statistics that ...

Illinois governor has recently signed into law the contentious gun control law that is aimed at combating the increased violence resulting from uncontrolled firearms sales in Chicago.

The discussion on the rights and control of guns has elicited controversy among many people, especially because it has lifestyle, geographical as well as cultural implications. The argument for and against the gun rights and gun control has seen people and governments differ greatly. As the society progresses to become more diversified and people being more individualistic, there is a further course for misunderstanding each other, especially people with different opinions and cultures. The controversy revolves around the relationship between guns and crime rate, and the use of guns as a means of self-defense. With fewer laws restricting the ...

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution which deals with the legal right of American citizens states that “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”. The general consensus regarding the interpretation of the amendment is that it grants the legal right to any citizen of the country to own and carry weapons. However, given the broad scope of the amendment, it is difficult to determine the limits of what the law allows and disallows. What is clear however ...

According to reports from the Congressional Research Service there are more than 300 million guns in America as of 2012, and gun production continues to increase (Krouse 8). Despite this, guns appear in less than one in three households in America, as reported by Smith and Son (3). This means that while fewer families may have guns in America, those individuals who own them, own more than they ever have (Smith & Son 4). In the state of Texas, gun ownership is a relatively close reflection of the country’s statistics at large (Levin n.p.). Despite the increase in production ...

Electric generation utilities, for example, require multi-million dollar investments in the plant and more millions to build the distribution infrastructure. At these levels of entry costs, virtually no competition can develop. Some monopolies develop around ownership of a scarce resource. The DeBeers company, for example, controls a large percentage of the world’s supply of diamonds. The third form of monopoly is the result of government action.

ABSTRACT

Gun Control is a very serious and regularly debated issue in this modern area. Some feel very strongly that the resolution to gun violence is to restrict guns from the public and therefore lessening gun related crime and accidental injury. However, that is not how all Americans feel. They see gun control measures as a direct infringement on the Constitutional rights, it would leave Americans defenseless and would, in fact, increase crime rates not lessen them. The bulk of research tends to lean toward the reality that gun control will not have the desired effect that gun control supporters ...

Introduction

Gun control refers to as laws and policies that have been enacted to regulate the manufacture, transfer, possession as well as the use of guns by the civilians. Gun control in the United States came at a time when massive shooting, killing, suicide, and gun related violence was on the rise in the United States. It is because of this that President Barrack Obama and his committee decided to propose the gun control policy. The annual review of public health statistics shows that gun related deaths tally to approximately 33,000 annually (Wintemute and Garen 9). For information on ...

The series of mass shootings in different states has intensified current debate over gun control. For decades, gun control has been an issue of conflicting influences between supporters (particularly powerful ones, including, most notably, National Rifle Association) and opponents in formal, partisan and informal, public settings. Needless to emphasize, current presidential election has but highlighted gun control, adding more dimensions to what has in earlier decades been a strictly legal debate. There are, however, rising voices among supporters of gun ownership to enable minors to have guns. This is, indeed, a new development which has far broader implications well ...

Introduction There is plentiful evidence that America needs stronger and more comprehensive gun control laws. There have been hundreds of thousands of shooting deaths in the United States since the 1990s, when the gun control laws were supposedly strengthened. Mass shootings have been going on for years, at schools, churches, shopping malls, theatres, and other public places. These mass shootings are usually caused by high caliber firearms that pose an overt threat to public safety. There has been a documented increase in the number of women in domestic violence situations who have been shot to death in the last ...

Introduction

The Caucasus is a region, characterized by diverse ethnic and religious composition and the high number of ethnic conflicts and separatist regions. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the post-Soviet states of this region witnessed and suffered numerous confrontations on the ethnic ground and faced several claims for separation and independence. Azerbaijan and Armenia confronted each other because of the Nagorno-Karabakh territory; Chechnya was a problematic region of Russian Federation, striving and fighting for independence, as a result, suffered two wars; and Georgia – a tiny mountainous state that shares borders with Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey, witnessed a ...

The debate over gun control in the United States has been on center state following a spate of shootings in recent years. Accordingly, the gun politics have dominated American politics in the recent past and the debate has been determined by the actions of two groups of activists: the gun rights and the gun control activists. These groups differ on the legal interpretations regarding firearms and the possible effects of gun control on crime as well as public safety. Research shows that many households within the United States own firearms. Since the 1990s, there have been concerns regarding the ...

With the recent surge in mass shootings in the both the United States and overseas locations such as Paris, Munich, and Istanbul, and the fact this is an election year, the debate over gun control seems to have resurfaced. There does not seem to be any middle ground when it comes to gun control. Americans either strongly support the second Amendment right to bear arms, or they want guns banned. There are many viable reasons for banning firearms in the United States. Some of the strongest reasons for gun control are the disrespect for authority; they encourage gang warfare, ...

Video Games and its Cultural Implications

Introduction The advent of new technological innovation in recent years resulted in the introduction of video games which is now considered as an integral part of our life.

Previously, the relationship between these three elements has been poorly established, but an extensive research by the University of California revealed that close and direct influence of each with the other. While some youth gang researchers pointed out that typical street gangs are not adequately equipped to organize drug trafficking operations due to lack of cohesion, there are gangs that have an established leadership and organizational structure that allows them “to ...

Main Point 1

Gun control through tighter and stricter universal background checks will help keep dangerous assault weapons out of the hands of criminals, drug addicts, terrorists and the mentally challenged.

Evidence 1

This is evidenced by the fact that most of the recent shootings and gun violence were committed by people who had taken advantages of the current loopholes in gun control laws. Moreover, as Karimu argues, the best ways to reduce gun-related crimes and deaths are to increase background checks for new firearms purchase, strengthen federal programs targeting trafficking in illegal guns and tighten the existing gun control laws (400). According to ...

Question 1

What is the relationship between guns, street gangs, and drug trafficking organizations? Personally, I would say that the guns, street gangs, and drug trafficking organizations are inseparable at the hip of every heinous crime in the society. Specifically, street gangs cannot function fully and cannot perform drug trafficking activities without their weapons or guns. Every gang member is in possession of, and has an easy access to, firearms of different models, types, and caliber. Often, the gang members use their weapons during violent operations and encounters with their rival gangs, law enforcement authorities, and innocent victims. On the other ...

Introduction

Gun control legislation is a very controversial topic and one that has taken a lot of attention in both academic and public policy circles here in the United States for the past 20 or 30 years. One of the most powerful tools which people have discovered to dealing with the issue of controlling who should or shouldn’t have access to guns is through the creation of background checks. The purpose of background checks in a general sense is to allow for gun sellers and overseeing authorities to make sure that they are selling weapons to only those individuals ...

Aviation terrorism is the act of unleashing violence on airliners with the aim to harm or intimidate the victims. The occurrence of terrorism has increased with the rise of aviation as a mode of transport. The first known incident of air terrorism was carried out in 1930 by Peruvian insurgents who hijacked an airplane to scatter propaganda leaflets. This practice subsided in the subsequent two decades due to the effect of global factors such as world war two. Modern terrorism started in 1968 when three Palestinian gunmen hijacked a passenger airline of the Israeli Airline El Al on a ...

Gun control is one of the most important measures that all States have had to take since the public took hold of arms and used them at their will. The Many States implemented very strict gun laws so that the crime rates can drop and people can feel safer. The strictness of these laws has occurred in the light of the recent school shootings; gun control has become stricter and more closely watched than it was in the past. Privately owned guns circulate at a number around 250 million (Clark and Barrabi). These are licensed guns which are used ...

Q1

Law on Gun Possession on Campus

The Opponents’ Arguments Some students strongly believe that they are safer when they have guns than when relying on campus security personnel to protect them. They believe it is their inherent right as private citizens to possess guns as enshrined in the second amendment. According to this amendment, the state law classifies students as private citizens and as such can possess a gun for their own security. Furthermore, the state law is superior to postsecondary institutions that enjoy autonomy from the state in making rules and regulations that ensure student safety and health. Most campus regulations outlaw gun ...

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation on Police Behavior There is a theory that declares ‘if you do not love what you are doing when you go to work every day you are wasting your time’. While there are people who go to work just to make ends meet fulfilling the base of Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (Jancewicz, 2016), those who work in the law enforcement portion of the public sector are often drawn by a need to “protect and serve” (Jancewicz, 2016).

Gun control in America is one of the most controversial issues and subjects in the current United States.
