After researching more about what caught my eye was the problem in Uganda that has been going on for about twentyfive years and still happening today.

    Eacher Talks to Armed Student Into Giving Up, Police Say

    This took place at Taft Union High School near Bakersfield, California. This school shooting started because the student was a victim of bullying and he wanted revenge. The student came to school and shot one student and missed another. He called the student who was bullying him, and the came out of hiding and apologized, but the teacher, Ryan Heber, interrupted and he came face to face with the 16- year-old student, who was armed. Heber wasn’t sure with this if the student was either, going to put the weapon down or continue shooting. While the student was distracted, Supervisor Kim Fields took the rest of the students so they could escape. Finally, the shooter surrendered and the police took the student into custody. Friday, the next day, school was cancelled due to the situation, but counseling sessions were held that morning for teachers or students who wished to attend. Before Heber spoke to the shooter, the student who was shot in the process was in a critical, yet a stable condition. Kern County Sheriff, Donny Youngblood said “The name of the student wasn’t released, and is debating whether he will be charged as an adult or not.” KDET reported “Heber is a well-known and liked science teacher and was a graduate at Taft and with the situation the Heber family will be there for him with emotional support.” The Taft shooting was the latest school shooting in the U.S., and it launched a big debate whether teachers should carry weapons to protect themselves and others in case of another shooting. Immediately after the shooting, parents went to the school to pick up their children and express concern about the school security. A parent reported “We’re going to protect our students a lot more, and it goes to show that there is one bad apple out there.”…

    fact or fiction(Sandy Hook)

    If you never heard of this horrible event took it place on December 14th, when armed gunman Adam Lanza allegedly shot and killed twenty-six people , twenty of which were innocent children kindergarten to first grade and six teachers. Police also say that Adam was thought to have killed his mother before even entering this school. Sandy Hook is a well populated school with approximately 700 students. The school has a security system in which you have to be buzzed into the school, but apparently this wasn’t enough. The gunman forced entry, shooting out the locked door upon entrance, the door was shot out with an “assault rifle” such as a bushmaster rifle. Also the other guns found on the scene of the crime were a glock handgun and also sig-sauer handgun.(Sandy Hook shooting: What happened?). Now this is where it starts to get interesting. Some places you look for information on this topic you have multiple versions like any other story, but in my opinion the stories are more and more twisted even as time goes on, but your opinion is all that matters, and with that being said there are two videos I do believe you should watch.…

    Argument Essay Huck Finn

    On December 14, 2012, twenty children and six adults were killed in a school shooting. Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut was bombarded with the 2nd deadliest murder in an American elementary school since the Bath School bombing in Michigan in 1927. The Sandy Hook Elementary shootings, labeled as a “mass murder”, ended with the man committing suicide by shooting himself in the head when responders arrived. Families of the deceased were left mourning for their love ones along with others from the school. No human-being in their right mind would find the mass murder of little ones in this world, sane. These parents will never be able to see their kids have their 16th birthday, get their first car, get married and have little ones of their own.…

    Persuasive Essay On Guns For Children

    Young kids don’t have the understanding that a gun can potentially kill or seriously injure someone. A great amount of kids involved in tragic accidents are too young. Most parents think they’re old enough to keep a gun around the house and believe they’re responsible enough to be given one, but they’re not. According to the Journal Gazette newspaper, the younger, the more curious a child is about guns. So, the more time and effort it will take to bring him or her to the point of understanding why it is so important not to handle guns without adult guidance. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Nearly 800 children under 14 years old were killed in gun accidents from 1999 to…

    Why Guns Should Be Banned

    Many families do not keep their guns in safe places that children couldn’t reach. For example, in South Carolina a 2-year-old shot his grandmother in the back while she was riding in the back seat of the car the child found the gun in the back of the front seat and shot his grandmother. Since children don’t know the concept of killing and harming people they have injured and killed many people, even children have killed their own parents and siblings. For example, a child shot his father in an event where many people were present. These kinds of incidents have happened many times because the parents didn't pay attention to the consequences of keeping guns. Not keeping guns in a safe place where children can't reach can result in familie’s own…
