Why Do Gunshots-Personal Narrative

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.

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.

Everyday 93 Americans are killed by guns. Whether it is due to homicide or suicide, it does not matter. At the end of the day gun violence is increasing exponentially. In numerous states, gun laws have been placed in the hopes of reducing gun violence. But now many people believe that gun violence should be treated as a public health problem. I for one feel that gun violence should be put in the category of public health. Every year more than 30,000 people are victims to gun related incidents. It has become such an issue that gun violence is causing more deaths than some life threatening diseases.

Over the past several years, there have been several high-profile police-involved shootings, and the justification behind the shooting has been questioned. Several of these shootings have resulted in a subsequent criminal conviction involving some form of a homicide charge for the police officer involved. This has created a great division between those who support and those who oppose the police. Police agencies and community leaders have sought to repair this relationship, and citizen police academies are one potential avenue.

Anyone who values the lives of other humans so little that he or she is willing and make the decision to kill, is the true scum of the Earth. They deserve no fame and no recognition for what they did. Now putting their faces on the news does have it benefits too, letting everyone know that there will be punishment, and his or her face can be a target at the gun range. So both sides have some good points, but I believe Sheriff John Hanlin is right when he didn’t put the name and face up of the Oregon shooter, he believes that keeping the identity hidden will help cut down on his or her glorification. Instead we should promote heroes and put them in the newspapers. The Oregon shooting saw one such example when army veteran, Chris Mintz, charged the shooter and was shoot seven times

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

Black lives matter protests have been seen all over America many have turned violet causing death or injuries. The latest one is was in Utah where a 50-year-old man Patrick Harmon was shot dead by a Utah police officer after he was trying to run away from the officer. The district attorney called the shooting justified, officers were scared for their lives even though Patrick Hermon was running in the opposite direction. On Wednesday after the district attorney made his decision saying the shooting was justified a video of Patrick Harmon was released. In the video, you can clearly hear officer Clinton Fox yelling “ I’ll blanking shot you” right before Clinton Fox fires three bullets in Patrick Harmons back. Black lives matter organizer

A Man in his mid-30s was found dead at the bottom of a mineshaft with a gunshot wound. The man was found at 2:45 pm on October 20th 1990 after a women reported about witnessing the murder. The mine shack was located near Parry Sound Street. The man was depicted as blue eyes, blonde hair and a birth mark near his right ear. He wore a white t-shirt and black jeans with branded running shoes. He was found dead on his stomach with a small gun wound on his back chest.

Gun violence is a problem in every nation. Where I came from gun violence is a major problem. I came from Afghanistan where events such as; people shooting each other, people shooting at a crowd and killing tens and hundreds of people happens quite usually. But one incident that stuck with me to this day is the suicide of a young boy near my middle school. When I was around 9 or 10 years old I remember the day one of my friend's relative's committed suicide using his father’s gun. It was the end of a school day, the street and the area in front of his house were packed with people and cars. The police car and the ambulance, both were parked in front of his house. The sound of people shouting, his mom and his sisters screaming, and the

Gunshot in the United States has become a growing problem in recent years. Generation after generation, gunshot continues to occur. The problem has not shown much sign of positive progression lately. As population has grown, there have been more reported cases of gunshot. It has been observed that families with history of bad conducts have continued down the family line. Many people feel that these problems will eventually work out for the better, but the fact of the matter is that it will only get worse. Generation after generation, gunshot occurs down the family tree. It will become a never-ending process of abuse down the family line, unless something is done to prevent this from happening.

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.

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 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

A previously decided upon plan of action is key for responding to an active shooter. This includes instituting a plan for the university as a whole, each department, the specific classes, and the individual professors. I feel that this plan needs to start with every member of the university watching the responding to an active shooter video so that everyone is coming to the situation with the same level of knowledge, tools, and strategies. As a side note, this is something I would like to lobby for within the University of South Carolina, as it will only help and takes just two hours. I think that getting together with one's department to talk with professors about response tactics based on distance

“We have to get them out of there!” I heard voices yelling out in the distance, but was to lightheaded to know where they were coming from.
