Argumentative Essay On Gun Control

The violent video game controversy never ends, and even if it does, the monster in the console will awaken and run amok swinging its pendulum to hypnotize and gain control over the minds of kids and teens alike to become aggressive, rabid animals. But you can tame it. There is a way to control the one that roams the box.

As a parent, have you ever dealt with trying to get your kid’s attention while he or she is playing on their phone, a PS4, Xbox One or any other console? As a child, have your parents complained so much about video games that you just couldn’t take it? According to one survey, 9 out of 10 U.S. households with children have rented or owned a video or computer game. That means about 90% of households with children in the US

5 people died in the shooting, 10 were injured. The shooters were Mitchell Johnson, 13, and his friend Andrew Golden, 11. Once I found this out, I started to have a different mindset. I kept researching and found more information about the shooters. Both of the boys had been raised around guns. They belonged to gun clubs and even participated in practical shooting competitions, which involve firing at simulated moving human targets. Golden reportedly shot several dogs in preparation for the actual shooting(ANIMAL ABUSE!!!). When they got caught, in their possession were thirteen fully loaded firearms, including three semi-automatic rifles, and 200 rounds of ammunition. They also had a stolen van filled with ammunition, 3 semi-automatic rifles, a crossbow, and some hunting knives, which by the way all of the weapons were taken from the Golden family’s personal arsenal. Woah, wait a second, those guys are way too young to use guns, cause a school shooting and have a van filled with hunting weapons. These boys are downright crazy!!! But there needs to be a reason why they cause this monstrosity and what motivated them to do it, and only thing revealed was a possible motivation; a famous first-person shooter video game called Doom. In Doom, you control Doomguy (the main character of the game) and the crux of Doom is to complete missions by killing demonic monsters that lurk within dark corridors. If you’ve never seen or played the game or not, you should know it’s rather gory and violent. Now, back the shooters, why did they do it? They maybe wanted to mimic the game in real life or they just hated their school and wanted everyone dead. I don’t know, those are just theories of mine. The reason for the shooting is unknown.
