History And Timeline Of Texas

The History of Texas Texas history itself had its own amazing story. The small number of American settlers moved to the land of Texas had led to the dramatic war with the Mexicans. The land of Texas was used to be owned by Mexicans. Due to the argument between Texans and Mexicans caused the battle of San Jacinto and Mexican War. In long ago before American settlers moved to Texas, this place was so rich and an abundance of land.

Laws regulating the use of guns in America have been a hot topic for years. Media coverage of mass shootings, acts of terrorism in and outside of the United States, and stories of families being murdered in the night has resulted in a desensitized, or perhaps, overly sensitized nation. People are scared and have centered their idea of safety on one of two main approaches: creating stricter gun laws so less crime occurs, or taking away gun restrictions so everyone can protect themselves against crime. Policies stemming from these vantage points begin by the agenda set by pertinent support and opposition groups, reflecting these approaches.

With backpacks in tow and pencils in hand, college students crisscross campus with stress of acing the test, hardly thinking about their safety. This was the case on a clear Tuesday at the University of Texas on September 28th, 2010. Students fled from a mask gunman carrying an AK-47 and shooting randomly around campus. Nineteen-year-old Colton Tooley, wearing a black mask, eventually killed himself in the library. Remarkably, no one else was injured or killed. (MSNBC) This was not the case in 1966 when 16 people where killed with 32 injured by a gunman in the UT clock tower. The debate still wages on to allow concealed guns to be carried on college campus in Texas despite a recent bill that failed to pass. The US Constitutional Second

The difference on perspectives has been a major issue especially after President Obama’s constant effort to pass more gun control laws. In contrast, the presumably and deeply Republican state of Texas, which has very few restrictions on guns, has just passed a law that makes concealed carrying on college campuses legal. Such law has been a controversy and had divided reactions from Texans all around the state. The problem that is tried to solve with this bill is to prevent more mass shootings from happening in the facilities of higher education institutions. It is very important to

The Texas Revolution, why is it so important? Why is there so many arguments over it? Truth is this historical subject is very controversial and it can be seen through the work of many authors. In this case I have decided to research 4 authors and their dedicated work on the history of the Texas Revolution. From the historical documents of Sam Houston to retracing his steps through photographic representation. These authors put in a lot of time and dedication, a lot of research and thought into their research and even though they had different opinions and ideology on the Texas Revolution, one thing they do share, is the passion and love for Texas. So what are some key points and key

During the Civil War, Texas fought for the Confederate States of America. For nine years following the Civil War, Texas is in turmoil, as its people attempt to solve political, social, and economic problems produced by the war. One of the major forces that threatens change in the state is the United States Army. Federal troops are there, at least in part, to ensure loyalty to the federal government and to protect the rights of the blacks. To many Texans, the army, most of whom fought for the North in the Civil War, is an unwanted occupying force. Joseph, who is part of this unwelcomed army, is sent to Sulphur Springs to take part in a military occupation of the town. He meets an environment of hate and destruction much of it aimed at him and

HB 910, better known as the Open-Carry Bill is a bill that was passed on May 29, 2015 and signed into law by Governor Jim Abbott after it cleared both chambers of the Legislature. The Open-Carry Bill allows licensed holders to carry concealed handguns on public college campuses. Abbott claims that the bill will not only strengthen Texans second amendment rights, it will secure them (The Associated Press, 2015). However, the bill has raised questions regarding the safety of students and faculty on college campuses. As a team, we initiated our research by questioning the results of how the bill will affect college campuses across Texas. The objective of our research is to gather qualitative and quantitative data that defines

Although most media outlets have said that S.B. 11 will not really affect the student body because the only a small percentage is above the age of 21, a requirement to obtain a license for concealed weapons, it affects everyone on campus. I don’t think the classroom is the most appropriate place to bring guns. Universities should foster a safe environment not just from shootings but also among students. Students under the age of 21 could feel even more vulnerable since they cannot carry a concealed weapon due to their age. Furthermore, I’m curious to see how this bill develops and how it will apply to community and junior colleges, especially to one like Richland. At Richland, the average age of students is 25 years old. However, Richland College’s campus is also home to the Richland Collegiate High School students as young as 15 years old. This would cause much more controversy among parents, students, and administration. In the end, it all comes down to how people handle things responsibly, and that is one thing that the S.B. 11 cannot

The State of Texas, modernly known as the 28th State of the United States its commonly known because of its people and culture. It is also known because Texas is the second biggest State in the United States. The State of Texas has a huge history dating since the beginning of the colonization and expansion of European countries. The History of Texas involves wars, territory disputes, invasion and many more. This were some of the common facts that contributed in the creation of Modern day Texas. The transformation of Texas was an important role in the history of the United States and Mexico The State of Texas has ended in the hand of many nations in a short period, making it more interesting in learning about its pass. This essay will concentrate

On August 1, 2016, senate bill 11 (S.B. 11) was put into effect, which allows for the carrying of concealed handguns on Texas public institution campuses by license to carry a handgun (LTC) holders (Campus Carry UTSA). There has been lots of controversy over this new law, especially since there were 23 shootings on college campuses in 2015 alone. In this essay, I plan to explain the stipulations of this new law and why it is controversial.

As of this present day, concealed handguns are now allowed to be carried anywhere on all Texas public universities. This shocking dispensation, from earlier prohibiting regulations, is now enforced by the new law in the state of Texas. This law is known as S.B. 11 or Senate Bill 11. For those of you who don’t know how a bill becomes a law, it’s a long, crazy process. The fact that this bill made it through every step of it is an insane thought that questions, how?

The campus carry bill is a controversial bill that has been passed in many states and in August 2016 it will be enforced in Texas. States like Colorado, Idaho, Kansas and Mississippi have all approved the bill allowing private colleges to follow the law or not, however public colleges are only allowed to choose areas on campus that will be gun-free. The campus carry bill states, individuals 21 years of age, which obtain a handgun license, will be able to carry a gun on campus. The idea of the campus carry bill is to increase the people’s safety and decrease the number of mass shootings and other cases in the United States. There have been many questions brought up by both sides of the issue; there are many pros and cons on the issue that will go into effect with the campus carry bill. Twenty States in the Unites States have prohibited the law for carrying concealed guns on campus, but many others will be passing the bill to give students the right to carry a gun on campus.

With every state comes a specific and distinctive history of politics, and, more often than not, a brief understanding of the cultural changes that occurred throughout the years. Texas has one of the most interesting shifts: an almost clean-cut shift from a Democratic, or ‘blue’, state, to a Republican, or ‘red’, state, after nearly 100 years of Democratic dominance. This is comparable to the state of Virginia, which also saw Republican representation after Democratic dominance for nearly 50 years. However, where Texas remains mainly Republican today, Virginia is an accurate embodiment of a “two-party state”. With this being said, that doesn’t mean Texas will stay this way. While the Lone Star state still votes red and has Republican

The recent state legislation and the rulings in courts, eight states allow students to carry concealed weapons on postsecondary campuses, with Texas being one. The question exists, am I for or against campus carry? Due to the experiences of my previous military career, as a former marine, I understand some may think my views are myopic because of that part of my life. However, I will also focus on past and recent active shooter incidents that initiated the argument on methods for future prevention. In addition to exploring the counter argument against campus carry, I will also present my rebuttal of those arguments. In closing, I will amalgam on how my arguments and actual incidents reflect on my theory on behalf of campus carry.

In this case, I see so many states have been approved the gun-carry control by the state government. It easy to make every state understand about the rule which the state government was given them as a law. In 2017, I believe Texas is one of the most states around the world has directly relevant to the politics about the gun control in every college or anywhere. According to the Colorado State University, said: “Right now the laws are stacked in favor of armed killers, and that's what we want to prevent,” (Grasgreen) This statement shows that most of the people in college or outside of the college they can do whatever they want with a gun such as a killer or even the terrorist people. During a few years recently about gun control has banned
