Gun Control Pros and Cons

Assertion / Claim

• People should have the right to own guns.

Evidence / Concrete Detail

• "A well regulated militia, being necessary to secure a free state, right of people to bare arms shall not be fringed."
• The control of fire arms by people may one day help us secure a free nation.
• The second amendment protects peoples individual right to keep and bare arms.
• If we did not have guns there would be no way to protect your family from criminals. You would lose your feeling of security in your own home.
• If the right to own guns was taken away, only law enforcement would be the only ones allowed to have guns.  Criminals would find a way to own them via black market.  Drugs are illegal and we yet have stopped them from selling them.
• When the criminals break in you will have no way to defend yourself, which would take away your feeling of security, a cop can only get there so fast.
• Opposing Claims
• Some think that owning guns would be a good thing, I believe that we should take guns away so that law enforcement should own them. This would help keep criminals from owning guns which would make the world a better place.
• I think that guns do kill people, if we got guns out of the hands of citizens this would decrease the number of people killed due to firearms.
• My Rebuttal
• How ever, I believe that it is necessary to secure a free state.  if only law enforcement had them criminals would get them off the black market. This would risk the lives of many more citizens who are unable to protect themselves.
• My Paragraph
• People should have the right to own guns.A well regulated militia, being necessary to secure a free state, right of people to bare arms shall not be fringed." The control of fire arms by people may one day help us secure a free nation.The second amendment protects peoples individual right to keep and bare arms. If we did not have guns there would be no way to protect your family from criminals. You would lose your feeling of security in your own home.If the right to own guns was taken away, only law enforcement would be the only ones allowed to have guns. Criminals would find a way to own them via black market. Drugs are illegal and we yet have stopped them from selling them.If people were not so tractable by drugs then guns would not cause as many deaths as they have today. When the criminals break in you will have no way to defend yourself, which would take away your feeling of security, a cop can only get there so fast. Some think that owning guns would be a good thing, We should take guns away so that law enforcement should own them. This would help keep criminals from owning guns which would make the world a better place.

This would risk the lives of many more citizens who are unable to protect themselves.
• My Thinking
• I think I am a inductive thinker. I think that because I thought of all of the consequences then thought of the theory that only law enforcement and criminals would own guns.

wounded warrior project

The wounded warrior project is a project to help soldiers who were injured while fighting for our country.  This is a great foundation, one that I would like to volunteer my time and money for. This is for a great cause if it wasn't for these soldiers we would not be the free country we are today.  It is the least we can do is to send them a gift to let them know that we are thankful for what they have done and risked for our freedom.

Henry vs Forrest

     Henry and Forrest are similar and different in many ways. One being they both ran. Secondly they both were very scared.

     Forrest ran into the war to save all of his friends, especially Bubba. But Henry on the other hand ran away from the war because he was a wimp and didn't want to die. They also both ran because of their Lt.'s. Forrest ran because his Lt. told him to though. Henry ran from his Lt. because he was scared.

     Henry was scared because he didn't want to lose his life while fighting. Forrest on the other hand was scared because he wanted Bubba to live, along with all of his friends. So he went back into the woods and carried every single one that was alive to safety.

     As you can see Forrest and Henry were alike and different in many ways.

Remembering 9/11

The terrorist act of 9/11 has effected many people in the United States.They have murdered a countless amount of people not only in the United States but our soldiers over seas, also people in their own country.  The murders affected more than just the ones who lost their lives, the family members and their friends also mourn for their loss.  9/11 also made some Americans lose the feeling of safety while doing some everyday activities, such as the people who were killed in the attack most of them were just at work or catching a flight. People may have quit their jobs due to being scared to be on a plane, flight attendants and pilots may have been without a job.  They may not have been trained or skilled to do other jobs making them in search for a job, some of them could have lost their house,cars, and other items due to a loss in income because of this.

 Who in their right mind could kill that many people for something that might not even happen? They believed they were doing this for a good cause for their country, they also believed they would have 72 virgins waiting for them in heaven. The attackers deserved more than just death, but there's nothing they can do now. All we can do is win the war on terrorism and hope that nothing like this ever happens to the United States again.
