Gun Safety And Training : The Importance Of Gun Safety

More gun control might lead to fewer suicides by gun. Between 1999 and 2013 there were 270,273 firearm suicides in the United States, accounting for 52% of all suicides in those years. Firearm related suicides accounted for 61% of gun deaths in the U.S.A. between 2000 and 2010. Gun control might lead to fewer gun deaths, but it will not lead to fewer suicides. As my father says, “If someone is so mentally deranged that they think taking their lives is the best solution to their problems, they will commit with anyway possible”

The issue of gun control is almost as old as the gun itself. There have been many well constructed arguments both for and against guns but the smart one do not always have the loudest voice, in fact I would argue that the loudest people lack the knowledge about firearms. Unfortunately this is true for most topics that are circling today 's media. I often see an anti-gun person lose an argument about guns simply because they do not know what they are talking about. I also hear people compare the U.S. to the UK in terms of gun control without any context or factual information. An individual can not compare the United States to any other country because America is one of a

Children often can be the victims of accidents involving guns. These accidents usually occur due to the child's lack of knowledge concerning the dangers of the weapon and their undeniable curiosity involving the unknown. Simply, parents do not educate their children in the correct manner to handle a gun, and they often place their weapons in an easily accessible location, resulting in dire consequences. For example, if

Allowing teachers to carry guns will allow teachers to prevent school shootings on the grounds of preschool through college campuses. Everyone has their own opinion about teachers being able to carry guns including other teachers, parents, and government officials. Depending on what state the teacher is teaching in determines if they can carry their gun now, if they are in the process of being able to, or if their state is not passing a law to allow them to carry their gun while at school. Teachers would not stand out like police officers or security officers would while in the school which would allow for other teachers and all of the students to have normal days if schools did not have officers before. Research shows that allowing some teachers to carry guns in their school promotes school safety, protects the teachers and students, and promotes gun safety while still teaching their students.

Gun regulation has been a controversial topic since they were first established as a weapon. People for and against gun regulation provide strong arguments for their side. Gun regulation has fluctuated over time due to changes in office. Being a democracy prevents us from having consistency. As a nation we continue to change regulations on guns because of the different views our democracy allows us to have. The main aspects pose the most problems in gun control are violence, illegal sale of guns, and mental health checks.

The FBI found that about 59.9% (1,962 people) gun deaths were reported in 2013 caused by an argument, that started because of infidelity or being under the influence. The American Journal of Public Death noted that in 1985 “in the US, two-thirds of the 7,900 deaths in 1981 involving arguments and brawls were cause by guns.” This is a dramatically high number for deaths over an argument. This is why gun control should be taking seriously. Also legislating gun control laws such as making mandatory safety features would reduce the number of accident gun deaths. On August 13th, 2016 my co-workers nephew passed away from an accidental gun death. He was under the influence, and to be cool in front of his friends grabbed the gun and pointed it to his head. Of course, he thought the safety was on, and the people that were surrounding him didn’t think he even had bullets inside, and for the ones that did know he had bullets they thought he was being “safe”. Unfortunately, that night didn't turn out to be one of the best nights for my co-worker or her family. This is why if a gun had an indicator showing when a bullet was in the chamber ready to be fired than a lot of accidental adolescence and adult deaths could be

How many children have to die, before we realize that teachers being armed WILL prevent any more lives taken away in school shootings.

Hey, Parents! We are excited to introduce a gun safety course for the Boy Scouts at the Guadalupe-Parkway Sommerville Centers. The duration of the program will last four weeks, with the last week being live shooting from a gun range. Our purpose in this gun safety course is to provide our Boy Scouts with knowledge when it comes to firearm safety. We want to teach them how to handle properly a firearm and know what to do in the presences of a firearm.

Hours earlier he was a happy 4 year old that loved the Hulk, Iron Man, and all of the Avengers. Now as Bryson Mees-Hernandez approached death with his brain swelling from a bullet hole in his face, his mother assured the boy it was ok to die. Bryson was playing under his grandma's bed and accidentally shot himself with a .22 caliber in the face. Many ways could've saved his life if Bryson’s grandma would have stored the gun in a safe where Bryson couldn't have got ahold of it and accidentally shot himself. About 200 million Americans own guns; about 59.6% more males use guns for suicide than females. The only way to stop that is to build a safe reliable gun room.

Some people like to shoot guns for hunting, some like to shoot them for recreation. Whatever the reason, when using guns, there are steps you need to take to be safe, whether shooting or storing them.

Have you ever thought about the fact that in America, an 18 year-old is old enough to buy a gun, but not a beer? The concern of a gun-crime being committed by a young man/woman is high, but what if they want to go hunting with their father? It doesn’t seem so bad now. Some people may think that our President isn’t effective enough, but there are too many people supporting each side for the President to make a large, yet fair decision. There may be two sides to the story, but what is the right option? This question of safety and gun control has become part of an on-going controversy due to views on The Constitution, the national gun control laws, as well as the fact that most Americans would like an updated background checking system.

On Sunday at 1:30 a.m. police responded to New Orleans shooting in the French Quarter. The police have not found a motive for the shooting, but two men have been arrested on firearms charges. The victims included: two females and eight males, which one had died later on in a hospital.

“The latest CDC data are for 2006 and list 11 categories of accidental deaths...For all children younger than 15:54 died from firearm accidents”(Gun-Proof your child with Firearms Education.) Guns don't pull the trigger on themselves and kill people,it's the hand or in this case tiny hand that they fall into who kill,accidental or not it happens.Children dying from gun accidents is an epidemic that can easily be stopped.Children are not born knowing how to properly handle guns nor the harm and damage it can cause,it's up to the parents and possibly schools to provide them the proper education needed in order to avoid these tragedies from occurring in the

These two killed fourteen and injured seventeen innocent people. The people were in shock and tears because of the incident. The people inside were forced to find cover and hide so they wouldn’t get shot. This is tuck in their minds forever and most will have ban feelings about being in gun-free zones.

The purpose of this screening is to assess the presence of firearms at homes implementing questionnaires to facilitate the discussion of firearm safety among the clinic’s clients. The program is well considered but does not have the best public health quality. This questionnaire may catch some clients’ attention to firearm safety at first and they perhaps would take some further steps to learn more about this issue by themselves. The questionnaire method, however, may obtain an incomplete or even false result. It is highly possible that dishonesty and disguise happens when the clients answer private questions like these. What’s more, the final impact of this program that tries to facilitate the discussion of firearm safety is not
