Guns good or bad??


I think that guns can be a good thing and a bad thing. Guns can save a lot of peoples lives and it all ways give you that felling that you can all ways be safe. In the article it argues about why guns are good "It can be argued there's no such thing -- no one is all Good (or all Bad, for that matter). The attempt to sort out the Good and the Bad causes its own set of conflicts: a background check is at best bureaucratic delaying tactic and at worst an invasion of privacy. And there's no way to ensure that a Good Guy will stay Good. Even a mandatory training class in the proper use and handling of guns (which is good common sense but not required as far as I know) won't guarantee that a Good Guy will stay Good for the rest of his life" (Rant 1). Why should people have to suffer from people that do bad things that are against the crime and then go and penalize everyone else.


I think that we should be allowed to have guns for self protection and mental reasons. If you work in a bad part of town and a lot of bad people are around you can always have the gun for protection. The gun help you feel like you can defend your self if you need to.

Final Gun Control

The topic i picked for my project was gun control. The reason i picked gun control is because i use guns on ocashions. The topic really stood out to me becuause so amny people die by guns and i would like to know if peopel are really allowed to have the guns.

I really enjoyed this topic. I learned alot of things throughout this project that i didn't allready know. I allready knew alot about gun cotnrol in our country but i learned alot about other countries. I learned that alot of countries are coming back to not having gun control because of there crime rate has gone up. If i was to change anything i might have chose a diffrent book to read because i got alittle bored in the book. I also might have came up with alot more questions to ask.

I read the book Guns, Crime, and Freedom by Wayne Lapierre. One thing that really hurt me was my lazy nes on not reading the book early enough. I also interviewed Mr. Baily at Jefferson State COmunity College. he was a very interesting man he had so much info and i could have asked him so many more questions that i really did nto ask him.

Gun Control - 2nd Video

During the interview I thought it was really cool how much info Mr. Baily had. He really helped me enforce my decision on how we didn't need gun control in this country. He talked about how other countries were starting to go back to letting their people have guns because with the homicide rates going up. I also thought when he talked about the jails it was sort of weird how they never really made now ones they just added on to them. In my opinion this is why we don't need gun control.

I really got a lot out of this. I have been reinstated on why i really don't like having gun control. Mr. Baily really knew what he was talking about and has made me really think we do not need to have gun controlled because of how much they really help us out. They help defend us when we need to be defended and it helps us feel comfortable when we would be in a really uncomfortable position other wise. This is what i have gotten out of my interview.
