Gun Control Essay, Research Paper
The following is an excerpt from an ABC news broadcast on September 16, 1999:
And so it has happened once again. After the massacre at Columbine High School and a day trading firm in Atlanta and the Jewish daycare center in Los Angeles, now someone has walked into a church in Fort Worth, Texas and started shooting. The target, 150 teenagers attending a prayer service. Once again we are learning about the killer. Larry Ashbrook, a man with no criminal record but a history of mental problems. A man who bought his guns legally. And once again the attorney general and the president are calling for action, for some way to stop the carnage.
Three adults and three teenagers were killed that day. Imagine that one of these teenagers was your best friends. Your best friend was shot by Larry Ashbrook, a man that was suffering from depression. He should not have been able to buy a gun legally. This is one of the many cases where gun control could have prevented the deaths of many innocent lives.
I was thinking one day, and I came up with what we
can do to obtain gun control in our schools. I
realized that a scholar would do anything their role
model does. I think to myself sometimes, it s a
disgrace hearing someone my age kill someone, but it s
a dishonor hearing about a five or a six year old
killing someone.
News and Media always say the parent should
embrace themselves in their child s life. This is not
true most of the time. The child knows deep down
inside, what s right and what s not, but they don t
think. We can do a lot of things to obtain guns from
our schools and the first thing is to have security at
every school. By this no one will bring a gun to
school.
As I stated earlier, scholars do what there role
model does. What I mean by this is if a child sees
there role model on there way to school in a corner
buying a gun, the next day or even the next week that
child might too. If for instance if the child saw
there role model asking a teacher for help at school
maybe that child will too. The problem with America s
teen today is they don t know right from wrong and we
need to teach them. I can sit here, and think of ways
to stop the gun usage in our schools and I came up
with only one answer. If the person thinks really deep
down they will think to themselves that what they are
doing is wrong, and they themselves can change the
whole situation. There really is one medicine to cure
gun control and that is do what you think is the best,
and the outcome is always adequate.
It has been said by the Parent Institute everyday,
fourteen American children are killed with guns. For
every child killed with guns four are wounded. Which
means that every year 5,040 children s are killed
which means, this is one of America s major problem.
There only is one way to obtain guns in our schools,
and that is if the teens themselves want to change the
situation.
