Personal Narrative Essay On Gun Shoot

Why is gun violence such a major issue in american and in what way could we help to stop it. It is important to consider that 12,000 people lose their lives in the U.S. each year due to gun homicides. Another thing is there has been 286 mass shootings in 2017 alone. Some more things to be put to thought is the school shootings and better ways to prevent them. Another key thing to remember is gun control and how it can be fixed.

The right as an American to own a firearm has always been apart of our history. However, recent events have put into the question the second amendment and whether or not it still holds any real purpose in our society. Gun violence has constantly occurred throughout our history and has always been a problem to end. It wasn’t until recent that activists became so passionate about enforcing stricter gun laws or abolishing the second amendment all together. What would cause such a drastic upheaval? The answer to that is, constant reoccurrence of mass shootings all over the country, including ones involving young children. Once children started becoming casualties of these horrific events, society really felt obligated to try and do something

Went shooting for the first time today and I must say I am hooked!!! Shot both the AR-15 (and no AR does not stand for Automatic Rifle...) as well as the Glock 19. Of the two my favorite was the AR-15. Of course had to go in repping YAL and all the work they do to maintain our freedoms and liberties. God bless the 2nd

Gun violence in the United States is a current issue and does not go unnoticed. According to the Gun Violence Archive currently in 2017, the “total number of incidents is 42,964 (2017)“ involving gun related injuries. Within the THiNK textbook there were two articles within the reading to compare peoples view on guns and how they should be controlled. One of the articles was called “Stop Worrying About Guns in the Classroom. They’re Already Here,” by Erik Gilbert. Who makes a claim that whether or not the students and faculty is aware, people are already bringing guns on to campuses. With Americas history of active shooters students have a decreased sense of security, therefore want to increase their protection, whether or not it

Gun related deaths and injuries have been happening for too long on a regular basis. Obamas plan is to focus on a few topics, which is gun sales, mental health and school safety.

Did you know that there have been 31 school shootings in the US since Columbine in 1999, when 13 people were killed. The rate of people killed by guns in the US is 19.5 times higher than similar high-income countries in the world. Incidentally, you may want to know why there has been a major increase in these types of crimes and why a shooter would aspire to target a school. Also, what psychological and/or medical problems lead to the actions of violence and who is performing the violent casualties.

One of the most glaring problems in the American life today is the number of gun related deaths. Though there are many forms: homicide, suicide or accident, the worst are the mass shootings that have continually plagued our schools, movie theaters and malls for the last few decades. With the number of these shootings constantly on the rise, chances are, we all have a personal connection to at least one or know someone does. I’m from Denver, CO, and my mother attended Columbine High School in the 80’s. In 1999, Columbine was the site of one of the most significant school shootings in our country’s history so I was only a few months old when I got my first minor connection to a major shooting. But it’s another experience that shaped my views on this.

I lolled around still thinking about the decision I had made. The vicissitudes were just piling up, on after another. The only things I heard were buildings crumble, guns being fired, and bombs dropping. I missed the sound of my car starting, I missed the sound of the music playing, but most of all, I missed the sound of my children laughing and playing. The kind of chastisement I was living through was just unbearable and I was ready to leave. No one was stabbing me, no one was shooting me, just thinking about what I have lost is the most painful thing. I heard gunshots getting closer. I needed to leave.

Just a typical evening driving home from work, tired from such a long day. Lis-tening to the music just trying to stay awake. All of a sudden something runs out in front of you, and without any hesitation you slam on your brakes. Next thing you know, there is a deer, that u just about hit, standing inches in front of your car. Just a typical deer running like they always do, when it gets close to dark.

The last time I went to visit family in 2015, grandmother pointed out every shooting to her memory in the past year, “the house next to this one had a couple fighting and the woman got shot,” “The arcade became a bar and has had two shootings this year,” “Right there, we saw a carjacking by gunpoint.” She seemed unphased by the amount of violence near their home. She and my grandfather, Nonno, had become jaded from the long-lasting violence near them. All I could think while being in Kankakee was, “get away.” Ambulances, police cars, and fire trucks rushed past the house every few minutes, meaning something terrible must have happened too often.

I’m sure you have probably heard about the shootings and burglary that have happened recently. If not, you’re about to. March 25 police were called to Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas with reports of an active shooter. Well, it turns out, those reports were false. But what did happen was, masked robbers broke into the high-end jewelry and watch store of the hotel. You may be asking “So what, these things happen more than you think.” Yeah, well, the robbers were wearing character masks, nice dark suits or tuxedos, and armed with sledge hammers. An image a witness captured shows one of the burglars wearing a pig mask.

I felt bad that this is how I got my first buck, but I also felt good about getting it off my chest. The worst part about it was I was so close to the deer, which isn’t how it was supposed to be and definitely not how I planned it. The best part is that I did get the deer and will have a hunting story I will remember forever, and will tell my grandkids how I shot my first buck.

There is a wounded soldier lying on the ridge top. I ran over to help the injured man.

The time I shot my very first deer was around the time of November in the year of 2013. I remember that day was very chilly and my father woke me up at 4:00 in the morning at my Grandpa’s house because that is where we usually spend the night when we go hunting. I was very tired that day and my brother had already shot a buck and a doe the day before that; so, he concluded that he was going to stay behind and hang

I could hear it walking on the bed of leaves at a slow and cautious, yet steady pace. My heart started to pound, I reached for my gun and placed it in my lap. I took off my gloves and jammed them into my pocket, all while trying to be as silent as possible. The sound of the deer’s footsteps soon got louder and i saw movement near the edge of the clearing. I slowly shouldered my gun, praying I would not make a sound. I looked through my scope and found the outline of the deer making its way into full view. At this point I think the deer might hear my heart about to explode out of my chest. I let the deer take a few steps into the clearing, I take a deep breath, place the crosshairs behind its front shoulder and gently squeeze the trigger….. I don't even remember the kick of the gun. The only thing I felt was a rush of excitement when the deer dropped and laid
