Give a Boy a Gun is a novel by author Todd Strasser. In this novel, Brendan Lawlor and Gary Searle are two boys that attend Middletown High School. Brendan Lawlor moves to Middletown from Springfield in the middle of his ninth grade year. While Brendan was a jock and popular in his previous school, his life changed when he came to a new town and a new school. Brendan becomes friends with Gary Searle, who is also an outcast at Middletown High School. Brendan noticed that he has been struggling beside

These youngsters need pathways to hope, education, mentorship, cohesive family units and better opportunities in order to help them choose a different lifestyle (other than one that leads to crime). Stronger gun laws and harsher penalties will again disproportionately incarcerate our minority youth. Just as “three strikes you’re out” and the “just say no” campaigns led us to the mass incarceration of black men, another legislative overreach will lead to the

shot and killed in d.c in a second-floor apartment at Benning Terrace by a child playing with a gun. D.C police said a child had a gun in his hands and fired it, turning a innocent summer time play into tragedy when a bullet struck 3 year old Dallas cox in the chest. The police also said we have no reason to belive that it is anything other than an accident, so what we are looking at is how the gun got into the house. In my opinion I belive that if the adult in the house was actually atching

Guns and violence have some long lasting effects on not only the crime rate, but the rights that people have to own guns themselves. Even though the violence is a factor in why many believe that guns should be banned, guns should be allowed and not banned because they should be allowed because of the laws and the rights of citizens allow them there rights. The ethics and laws that occur with the current and enduring debates are another meaningful point. As Supreme Court Cases rage on about how a

The Constitution states that it is our right to bear arms to protect ourselves and that those rights cannot be infringed upon, but what happens when the arms that we use to protect ourselves also pose a threat to our lives? In America, gun violence is a constant threat and little is being done to oppose it. Although the Constitution does state that the right to bear arms cannot be infringed upon, the lack of restrictions on who can own firearms poses a safety threat to the public by letting dangerous

In reality gun violence will never be completely resolved however, to reduce the incidence of gun violence in the United States and around the World, I propose establishing a unison agreement about gun safety, putting an end to illegal firearm purchases, acquiring thorough mental health checks, and increasing the price to own a firearm. All of these resolutions listed could significantly reduce gun violence without taking away or restricting citizens legal rights of possession. Although our nation

States have gun control or gun rights? This is a question many people ask and argue over. As a citizen of this country, I would like to examine both sides of the argument and then pick my view on the topic. As of right now, the United States have more gun rights than gun control. However, there have been laws made to regulate the sale and possession of guns. Many anti-gun activists argue that the NRA (National Rifle Association) is the cause of many of the horrific events involving guns. On the other

term “gun control”, assuming that this horrific word means that the government is going to take control of their firearms, and that people will not have the right to defend themselves. That is however, incorrect. According to US Legal Definitions (para. 1), the definition of gun control is “Gun control laws aim to restrict or regulate the sale, purchase, or possession of firearms through licensing, registration, or identification requirements.” In this definition, it does not say that guns will be

of us assume we must either oppose or support gun control. Not so. We have a range of alternatives. Even this way of speaking oversimplifies our choices since there are two distinct scales on which to place alternatives. One scale concerns the degree (if at all) to which guns should be abolished. This scale moves from those who want no abolition (NA) of any guns, through those who want moderate abolition (MA) - to forbid access to some subclasses of guns - to those who want absolute abolition (AA)

an informed stand on the issue of gun violence in the United States. Gun Violence is the most disturbing issue ever around the world. As indicated by Gun Policy.org, 75 percent of the world's, 875 million firearms are non military personnel controlled. All inclusive, millions are injured using weapons. Attack by firearms brought about 180,000 passings in 2013 up from 128,000 passings in 1990. There were moreover 47,000 in thought gun related passings in 2013("Gun Violence", 2017). Levels of firearm
