Gun-Personal Narrative

I am currently living in Seattle, the Emerald City. Even with many wonderful aspects around this city, there are few things that I hope will change in the future. One of the problem that I faced was the gun violence.

When I was a kid, I did not think about gun violence. In fact, I grew up in a household that accepted guns. My dad, uncle, and grandfather all owned guns, and I never really gave much thought about it. When I was younger my dad bought me a little BB gun and taught me how to use it. We used to go outside in our backyard which was all fenced off. He taught me all the safety precautions, and set up the paper targets for me to shoot. I always believed that was normal, everyone owned guns. I didn't realize the importance in which they played, in our society, for protection, until July 20, 2012. I watched the frightening and horrific incident that took place in a no gun-zone theater in Aurora, Colorado. It was that day at my house that the importance of guns became very clear to me. As I watched the intense news, I saw how all those victims were in danger, and how they appeared so helpless. They were trapped, and left with nothing to do but call 911, and wait for the police to show up. In the last five years, I have come to realization the importance that guns play, whether or not it is in a gun-free zone or not. They are a base of protection, because attackers will always find away to obtain them.

In the African American community, 83 percent of homicides are due to gun violence. In black communities gun violence is commonly misunderstood as gang affiliation, which is false. Studies show over 50 percent of gun crimes committed were not related to a felony, but were due to some disagreement. The gun epidemic in predominantly black communities aren’t just disagreements, but race wars, police brutality, gang related, and even no reason at all.

“Would you forgive the people that shot at you and your partner while you were on duty?”

I have not personally had an experience with gun violence, but I know people who have had a run in with the danger of it. For example, a teacher of mine, Mr. Ritchie, a good portion of his relatives from his moms side have all had guns pointed at their head. I believe Mr. Ritchie lives in Crown Heights, or Brooklyn. His grandfather was getting ready to get in his car and drive home, and out of no where, a man shows up points a gun at his head and jacks his car and drives off. Additionally, another teacher from last year (whom i quite like ^u^), Mr. Krugelki also had a run in with gun violence. He is working his shift at a party store, when a man walks in (notice the pattern?) a asks for something, as Mr.K turns his back to get what the man

Great post and a nice question. Couple of years ago, I went with a friend to buy a gun. The store was packed. He picked up some guns and finally bought one. I was shocked how quickly and easily you can buy a gun. They called a phone number and punched in SSN (a background check is completed, really). It took couple of minutes and he went home with a gun! I asked them that’s it, they responded yes, you are good to go and there is no federal waiting period. No waiting time or a serious background check. They just wanted to sell a gun, that’s all.

It was almost 5 o’clock on a Friday. Mom and Eric had left to pick up his kids, Olivia and Conner. The usually about two hours to pick up the kids and come back since they live in Chicago. My sister, Hunter, was at work until 9:30, so I was home alone for a while. I went to let the my dogs outs. Jim’s dogs were in his backyard. There were two of them and I was frighten of them attacking someone, because they were huge and probably strong. Even though their was a fence serpating my yard and theirs, I still worried about them getting lose. As my dogs ran out into the grass, JIm’s dogs jumped up on the fence. They we so powerful that the fence bend, almost like it was about to snap. Their piercing barks filled the area with sound. I hurried the

The pro-gun narratives had been a dilemma because many American citizen are not considering federal laws and they resist to obey those regulations. It means that it is very risk to push people in this country to put away their own firearms because it could be in a big conflict with those people. Another philosophical controversial problem is that with the counter arming because as explain the article it creates an on fear citizen that they are fearing for their safe in this country. In this point citizen inspire fear in bad people and

let's back this story up a bit. It all started one afternoon July 15, 1966 my wife Sarah and my two kids Anna and John had just left for one of the four grocery stores in town and my phone rang I answered “Hello” and talked to a guy named William about two minutes and he hung up on me and I headed to work, I was a detective, my agency was in a town that has 10,000 people in it. This town had a swimming pool that my kids loved to go to.They were great swimmer they were both on the new swim team in town, Anna was in the 10th grade division and she was only in

“Uh, no. You will not get on the radio and you will not get on the phone to warn anyone,” Chris said to the guard. Chris turned to an officer and said, “He does not get on the radio or the phone. Is that understood?” The officer nodded and took the guard by the arm. With the guard’s protest, the officer indicated it would be safer away from the

Playing with friends and family outside is usually fun for G.K. .Playing nerf outside with friends and family was even better for G.K. as a kid. When playing with nerf guns you want to make sure no one gets hurt and that it is all fun. He always loved playing with his cousins and older brother. It was a nice summer day in their small town of Crawford, Alabama. Their guns were not the best and would jam sometimes, but they were still good. It was not until one G.K. learned his lesson when he held the jammed gun to his eye to see the problem. After this very learning experience he now knows it is very important to be careful when playing with any type of toy guns because getting shot in the eye will hurt, knowing how to handle a jammed gun will save you from being shot, and being responsible with it helps you and others.

Basically we made shelter at an abandoned fruit shop she was pretty much a know-it-all jerk, she wouldn’t talk to me unless she was telling me I was an idiot, the only information I could figure was that she was from England or somewhere close to it given her accent. I guess I should describe what she looks like: She has long blond hair with a tint of red, bright blue eyes and white skin, she wore a grey tank top and camo shorts with a gun peeking out of the right pocket. I had to lay on the floor with my back propped up on the counter, I guess I must off dosed off because the next thing I knew I was getting yelled at by what’s-her-face in between gunshots, apparently I was supposed to keep watch while she slept and zombies got in. I immediately dug into my pocket to grab my gun, only it wasn’t there then I realized she had 2 guns. “Why the ____ do you have my gun?! “You don’t really think I’d let you keep a gun, do

I woke up in the morning and I took my dog on a walk and I saw a moving van so I had went over there to see what was going on. On the way there there was a family of two there was a Mom,and girl named Sam the family seem very nice I didn't know about the Sam she seem very odd so I did not know what to think about her. The next day I got up and went to school in the middle of the day the girl next door was there and she was off she was rude and we did not like each other she had black pants and Black short and purple hair she look so mean anyways I from the first day I seen here I now that I will not like her.

It was a video. My friend showed me this terrible video that really dug deep. It was like a punch to the gut that got me thinking of how terrible things are in the world. How could people do something that terrible and get away with it? Why would they video it and then post it on social media?
