Recommended: Gun safety

Today I met with my mentor and started out with the safety course. I learned different types of bullets for different types of guns. Some bullets are used for self defense and some are used pretty much just for practice like in ranges. Bullets for self defense are more expensive than more or less practice bullets. I learned that almost every gun has a different bullet and a different size bullet. If a bullet is used in the wrong gun it can cause the gun to malfunction and it could possibly blow up. For example a 22 magnum has a 22 hundredths of an inch diameter bullet if you put in the wrong bullet you can damage the gun very badly. I learned the difference between a revolver and a glock. I learned how to properly hand someone these weapons

  • Analysis Of The Kansas City Gun Experiment

    The Kansas City Gun Experiment was a study that took place between 1992 and 1993. The goal of the study was to examine if increased police patrol in a “hot spot” of the city would help to reduce the amount of gun-related crime. The data collected by the research team was solely quantitative as it mainly consisted of statistics and other data numerical in nature of the increase/decrease of gun violence in these beats. After the twenty-nine week period of the study, the experiment’s findings showed that an increase in police patrol, as well as seizure of illegally carried guns, did help to eliminate gun-related crimes.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Arming Teachers

    1051 Words  | 3 Pages

    One of the biggest debates in education is how to respond to gun violence in schools. According to BBC, “There were 64 school shootings in 2015” (BBC). One response to the rise in gun violence in schools is to arm teachers. Even our President has mentioned “giving a bonus” (Davis 2) to teachers that The fact that the idea of arming teachers is even being discussed is disappointing. Bringing more guns into a school is not the answer to gun violence. Most people that defend the idea that guns will “help” keep schools safe have basically three points: (1) teachers will be trained in gun safety, (2) it helps deter potential school shooters, and (3) it will make the students feel more safe. Even though there is some truth to those points, I think that the cons of arming teachers vastly outweigh the pros of arming teachers.

  • SOCIETYS NEED FOR THE REGISTRATION OF HANDGUNS

    706 Words  | 2 Pages

    Guns are an instrument that even the most careful of people could do harm with. Gun owners should go to firearm safety classes so they will be educated on proper handling and storage of the gun. While this should only be voluntary, something should be done to insure that guns are only sold to people who have a safe background and are of age. Congress should mandate the registration of handguns in order to keep criminals from possessing guns, to cut back on violence in the home, and to avoid accidental or intentional violence among children.

  • America Needs Gun Control

    2937 Words  | 6 Pages

    When looking at all of the important issues of today’s society, one of the most neglected issues revolves around guns. Guns serve two different purposes: to defend and to kill. Even though I’ve been on this Earth for only 21 years, I’ve become keen and have taken an interest in the study of guns and how they pose more problems in society than any other issue. My interest all started around the time of the Columbine shooting in Colorado and how society has taken steps since that point in history. Going back to the two different purposes, both have been used to help explain the differences in the distinctions of different gun related events that continue to occur, such as mass shootings. Problem analysis, as stated, will help to explain how guns can be seen differently from each individual and what can be gained or lost from a deep analysis.

  • Swallowing Stones Analysis

    Swallowing Stones is only one example of an accidental shooting caused by uneducated shooters, but there are so many more. “I never imagined this could happen”, Eric Rivera said. “He was standing right next to me when he fell.” Eric is referring to a man named Javier Rivera, who was killed instantly when a stray bullet struck him in the back of the head. No one even heard the gunshot, Javier and his family were just enjoying the New Year’s fireworks. “If people would just remember, don’t shoot guns. You know once it comes up, it’s got to come down.” Peterson says (Crea, Jacquelin). This is a major problem in today’s society, which is why teens would benefit from reading Swallowing Stones and openly discussing it. Teenagers do not know enough about gun safety, but most have shot a gun before. Michael, and the man who shot Javier Rivera, both forgot the one major rule in gun safety; never shoot without a backstop. Guns are not to be taken lightly, yet parents give them to their kids without teaching them the rules and dangers of it. Some parents just completely avoid the topic of guns as a whole, and their kids find a way to

  • Debunking the Myth: Gun Restrictions and Other Death Causes

    1352 Words  | 3 Pages

    Because of this man’s actions, many lives were saved. Without having guns in the hands of responsible citizens, many more incidents such as this one could take place. As it has since been stated earlier, gun control is not mandating the removal of guns from the hands of law-abiding citizens, but teaching the proper ways to store, manage, and use a gun responsibly. In America, restricting the ownership of guns to citizens should be prohibited. Although there are many people who oppose private ownership of firearms, what they don 't realize is that firearms can also protect their lives. When guns are in the hands of responsible individuals, they can benefit their own lives as well as the lives of those who cannot protect themselves or for just recreational purposes. However, there are many deaths caused by guns, but the amount of deaths prevented with gun use outweighs them tremendously. Also, the smart gun and training courses could prevent many of these deaths. “Nearly two million more crimes are prevented with guns than are ‘caused’ by guns” (Connell). Ultimately, guns in America have a huge impact on our life and many benefits are overlooked. After reviewing all the research, it is clear to see the many benefits of having guns prominently used in our society. Not only do guns protect the lives of

  • Gun Control

    1569 Words  | 4 Pages

    The bullet, a small metal rounded cylinder with a egg-shaped tip, is fired from a firearm. Travelling at top speeds of 460 meters per second from a handgun (The Physics Factbook), it can instantly kill a man. That man might be some innocent victim on his way home from work to his wife and three kids. However, this victim caught in the crossfire could be a burglarer, con artist, organized crime member, rapist, or even a murderer. Crime nowadays has increased in both frequency as well as level of threat to the public. The only thing standing in crime’s way is the firearm that can stop a burglary, a rape, or even another murder. Unfortunately, recent gun bans and magazine limitations are threatening American’s rights to own firearms. These restrictions are evident across the country, especially in the state of New York. One example of these bans is Governor Andrew Cuomo’s recent limitations on high capacity magazines and the broadening definition of assault rifles in New York State. Although these recent gun bans in New York State have spread to other states, such as California and Colorado, the attempts to control gun violence are targeting the law-abiding, gun-owning citizens rather than the convicted felons or the mentally ill, who are usually the assailants in the shooting massacres around the country.

  • Persuasive Essay On Gun Safety

    Gun safety is very important in the matters of teaching people that firearms are not a toy. One should always treat the gun like it is loaded. Too many people choose to play around with guns by swinging them around, tossing them to people, or aiming the gun at other people and pretending to shoot them. These are signs that people are much too immature and should not be handling a firearm.
