    A time to remember those who died, those who served, and those who carry on.” ~Unknown. Servicemen make sacrifices daily. During 9/11, the Manhattan firefighters were responding to a gas leak when they heard the explosion from one of the twin towers. Policemen and firefighters from all around New York and surrounding areas came to help rescue the victims. They searched through rubbish and raced with time to check the buildings before and after the buildings collapsed. There were clouds of smoke, dust, and debris flying through the streets; blinding the bystanders. Hundreds of servicemen died that day, including military personnel in the Pentagon who were also hit by the hijackers. I had a cousin named Johnnie Doctor Jr who was in the Navy. He was killed in the Pentagon. I never got to know him, but from what I heard he was a great person to be

    As us Americans we are actually making the stereotype of we always carry guns around sound true to the rest of the world considering that, we are the “31% percent of all public mass shootings which at least four people are killed.” (TheWeek.com) But under a broader definition USA counted 346 mass shootings including shooting deaths of four or more victims in a 17- year period.

    Guns kill people. That is the way society thinks now-a-days. Everyone is now becoming an expert on all things guns just so they can have a say in how the United States should regulate gun usage. If half the people who want to ensure more restrictions are put on guns actually understood how to use them and understood the pros of concealed carry—or even open carry—they would stop being so anti-gun. Open and concealed carry could potentially be a problem solver in these mass shootings. A victim possessing a gun can create intimidation between shooter and victim, and the said victim could in turn use his weapon to stop the offender from killing.

    James Eagan Holmes didn’t let six-year-old Veronica Moser-Sullivan out of that movie theatre that fateful night. Daniel Parmentors mom didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to him because of T.J. Lane. Mary Sherlack’s husband will not set the table for her after Adam Lanza entered her school. The actions of those three shooters were not to cause such small but widespread repercussions for so many other mourning people. They all suffered from various mental illnesses. 79% of recent shootings are attributable to mental illnesses. The U.S. should re-evaluate gun screenings to decrease the odds of another mass shooting by not allowing anyone with any mental or psychological problem to own or possess a firearm. While the Constitution states that everyone has the right to bear arms, the present situation is different from that past, when relations with Great Britain were shaky. Secondly, gun violence is on the rise, with 46 school shootings since 2010, compared with only 40 from 2000 to 2010. Finally, if gun screenings are modified, there will be many jobs available, while contributing to national security at the same time.

    Firstly, I would like to offer my condolences to anyone affected by the shooting in Las Vegas last night. This is officially the worst mass shooting in American history. Consequently, something needs to be done to prevent something like this from happening again to any degree. Many of you may argue that it is not the time to discuss politics immediately following a tragedy; however, the best way to learn from these events is to take action early. When lives are lost, it is important to ask ourselves what we as a nation can do better and, unfortunately enacting change (usually) requires government implementation. Thus I feel that this discussion is not only necessary, but also beneficial. I am well-aware that many of my Facebook friends are

  • Argumentative Essay On Race Related Shootings

    946 Words  | 2 Pages

    By claiming racism as the motivation to the shootings and riots spreading across our nation, we completely miss the true culprit behind the travesties that plague our world. For years now it seems as though race related shootings have captured nationwide attention, ranging from the cases of Trayvon Martin to Michael Brown to Alton Sterling. When browsing the internet or watching the news, race becomes a topic of debate. Some people believe the police condemned the men based on the pigmentation of their skin. The people shot did not present any danger, but simply were killed due to their race. Other people blame the shootings on a lack of cooperation. They say the men shot did not comply and presented a threat to the policemen. Regardless of the motivation behind the shootings, by focusing on race we miss the underlying problem destroying our world. The problem has nothing to do with race; nor does the problem have to do with gender or political parties or nationality. The world’s greatest obstacle, the true problem tearing our world apart, revolves around our relationship with Christ, or rather, our lack of a relationship with Christ. Before anyone stops reading the article because I mentioned Christianity, just consider my argument. Entertain my opinion without blindly accepting

    Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be very carefully used and that definite rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of the citizen to bear arms is just one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible. -Hubert Humphrey, 1960 My background is probably atypical for a somewhat high-profile supporter of the right to keep and bear arms. I am black and grew up in Manhattan’s East Harlem, far removed from the great American gun culture of rural, white America.
