Persuasive Speech On Gun Violence

In the early hours of June 12th, 2016, one man, with hate in his heart, a warped world view, an arsenal of weapons, and a single motive, to kill, indiscriminately, senselessly, opened fire in a crowded nightclub in Orlando, Florida. His name, inconsequential. His act, heinous, and unimaginable. With that being said, this moment, is reminiscent of many moments that the US have endured in recent memory. With gun violence and mass shootings becoming the new normal, it is a scary notion to think that this violence, that this cancer, seems to be escalating, exponentially. It has become normal for my generation at least, having grown up with the tragic images of September 11th, and having gone to college and been shocked and rattled by the Boston Bombings, to believe that we are hopelessly and hilariously outnumbered, and most disturbingly, weaponless, against those who proclaim, and justify, their disinterest in discussion, tolerance, love, and hope.

Specific Purpose Statement: To persuade my audience that each individual must take responsibility for his or her own actions. The must not blame guns for problems caused by people. .

There are certain dangers that children are guaranteed to encounter in their daily life, and teaching children important safety practices fall upon the adults in children's life, whether that be parents, relatives, and teachers. Throughout their life children are going to be offered drugs, cross busy streets, and be bullied by other kids. Schools have put safety and educational classes in place to mitigate the risks of these issues of drugs and street traffic, yet teaching kids about gun safety seems to be lacking in most public school settings. It does not matter whether someone believes in the ownership of guns or not, guns are here in America and despite the controversial view on firearms, there should be firearm safety education taught

You walk through the door, after a long day and you see your six year old son holding a gun that you thought you stored , and your toddler is on the floor with blood gushing out of his body. Your son now scarred, and precious daughter now dying, it’s too late too late to think ‘What could I have done to prevent this’. 48 children and teens are killed either accidentally, in a suicide, or in a homicide every day in America (one person every 30 minutes.) Unintentional gun deaths and suicide are among the top ten of the leading causes of teenage deaths in America (CDC, 2015). Any incident of gun violence involving an underage shooter, is an accident.

My position on the bill is that I do believe that there should be additional restrictions on firearms as well as having those who own firearms to have mental screening to ensure those that do own firearms to prevent them from endangering the lives of innocent civilians due to their mental illness . However, I personally believe that the bill is overlooking additional factors that could help prevent people from getting killed by firearms, specially those that have died in shootings. An example of an area that I believe needs more regulation is how news organizations portray shootings in a relatively fetishied manner. Whenever tragedy strikes there are always videos and photos of the death and destruction caused by those who have nothing but

I am so sorry for your lost of your friends and teachers . I wish I could take the pain away from your hearts because I know how bad your hurting because right now.

t's the same old same old from Republicans whenever there is a massive murder caused or initiated by a white man or men using a high power assault weapon.

Charlie Webb English 1302 Melisa Lindsey Revenge, we all think we should get it back on some one. It can be on the road to the work place regardless you want other to feel how you made them feel. When revenge is brought into schools at the utmost level it can lead to horrifying situations. Some students believe that they need to get revenge by killing other classmates. They use guns and knives to use to inflict harm on their classmates.

At the present time, there is some Law introduced that are promoting Citizens in respect of gun control. The government is mainly afraid of the direction in which the most of the country is headed on various levels. In an ideal manner, we have a democratically controlled congress and a very Liberal President, that concern has grown even more. In a literal manner, with the tragic but senseless random shootings that have taken place over the past few years. Actually, Government heart goes out to the families of the innocent as well as unsuspecting people who were murdered. Moreover, for the families of the police officers who were die down in the time of duty. On that note, this loss of life is known as a senseless loss. On the other hand, the people responsible for these murders had serious mental issues or problems.

Have you ever thought of ways to stop violence? Some of the many things that cause violence are mass shootings. Another thing that cause violence are murders. Gun control is very important to violence because some people are not allowed to have guns but people still sell them to them. Violence happens all over the world and it can be changed by just not doing bad things or just don’t try anything that you know you cab get in trouble for. Violence needs to stop so the world can be a better place.

I've heard the deafening sound of a gunshot, almost as traumatizing as seeing someone getting shot, because you know that there are only two options when you hear a single gunshot. One, that it was an accident, or two, that it has hit its intended target, successfully.

In 2015, there was a total number of 53,101 incidents involving guns, and of that number, over two thousand teens were injured or killed. There is also an assumption to some black people that black lives don’t matter because they see that african americans are steady getting killed. I think the truth is that all of our lives matter and that neither of us should ever feel that our lives don’t.

I. The second amendment reads as follows, A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. This means that American citizens have the right to have and use guns and other weapons respectively.

You are with your sister, a friend, and a man with a gun pointing it at you. It’s hot and you sweating. You don’t even know if the water under your pants is sweat or pee. Thinking this might your last day on earth. You can see it in the men face, he was desperate for money and scare. He hands were trembling and he was sweating too. You know he doesn’t want to point a gun at a group of kids, but you also know that he has a family and he needs to feed them some type of way. Little kids usually don’t carry money, but he knew about the background of my family and he knew we were different. You didn’t know what to do, he was asking for money, and you didn’t want to give it, but with a gun at your face, there isn’t an option. He sees your gold chain and tells you to give it too. You see your first phone fade away from your hands. The same thing happens to your sister and friend. You feel like shit because you didn’t do anything to stop him. You feel responsible for everything that happened even tho you only 11 years old. Bullshit, Why is an 11 years old, 14 years old, and 15 years old have to through this moments.You only 11 and you are already thinking about death. It’s not right, it should never happen, but then you remember you live in Honduras, one of the most dangerous countries in the world where everything is possible.

Guns! Are they good or bad? Can they be illegal or legal? Why do we have guns? Should we ban guns? Guns are everywhere. We see police officers with them and also other law enforcement agencies. We have heard of them being in the news. We have mass shooting every year and we see it being more like a routine. Guns have been around for years and it all started from war fights. We use guns to fight war, prevent crime, and the second amendment, the right to bear arms. We range all different types of guns from semi automatic to shotguns, pistols, rifles, snipers, and so on. We have new guns being developed each year and exported around the world. Guns are so powerful that it can take you life away. We have seen the news lately about all these mass shooting. Anti-guns is the way we can stop this violence and to stop the killing of so many innocent people. If we stop legalizing guns, we can stop violence to be a continuous rampage.
