Let's talk about guns. If someone were to break into your house armed with let's say a 9 mil, what would you do? You're going to want to protect yourself, right? Well, how can you do that without guns in your house? The criminal isn't going to say "Oh I guess this is a gun-free zone I better go get a knife instead". No, life doesn't work that way. The armed person is going to be “yes”. This is just like shooting ducks in a barrel they can't defend themselves in any way. criminals-will-be-criminals.docx

I believe that if firearms are permitted the crime rate is actually lowered a significant amount than when they are banned. Clearly, no one expected a gunman to enter the Aurora Theater. Why? Because firearms aren't permitted and when they are permitted everyone assumes that everyone else will adhere to that rule.does-banning-firearms-help-prevent-homicides.docx

The first thing I'm going to discuss is students and faculty Safety. Second would be the half of the body of students and faculty who want to have concealed weapons allowed on campuses and the other half don't want it to have allowed.

What is the real problem with guns in the United States? You know many people through history have used guns for good and bad things but recently a surprising number of people think that banning guns is a good idea. They think that it will rid America of gun violence but this isn't very good reasoning. The reasoning behind banning guns basically is this; if guns can't be purchased or sold and nobody can legally possess a firearm a technical term for a gun that “gun violence” will happen, right? Wrong, bad people will always find ways to get a weapon to their bad deeds. guns-dont-kill-people.docx

Today I will be talking to you all about guns and gun control and that pertains to the people here because we are in South Texas and Texas is known as pretty much the hillbilly state and a lot of people in Texas will mainly from Texas make up the majority of gun owners in America. So I feel like this does pertain to us based on the location where we are at. guns-and-gun-control-texas.docx

Have you ever been shot for knowing one who has? Chances are probably not. According to a research, California has the most anti-gun laws while Arizona has the least. Everybody has their own opinion on gun laws: what they should be, what dependent punishment should be, how it should be done? However, the states with the most gun laws don't necessarily have the lowest crime rates. Mental illness is a bigger factor in a violent crime than the gun laws are. Finally, even though States border each other they don't have the same gun laws such as California and Arizona.society-should-solve-gun-problems.docx

I am 15 years old and I have been shooting for almost 8 years. I've also been a part of the Rifle Club at State rifle team since I was 11. We shoot semi-automatic AR-15s and my personal rifle is a Bushmaster. Because of this, I've become eligible for various shooting scholarships around the country to a wide array of even the most prestigious colleges that have shooting teams. Achieving stricter gun control laws would obliterate any opportunity I could have had to attend a decent college on a shooting scholarship. Ever since I first learned how to shoot the issue with gun violence around the nation became clear “guns are not the problem people are”. speech-against-stricter-gun-control.docx

Imagine you in your home and it's the middle of the night and you and your family are all sleeping soundly. All of a sudden you wake up to realize that your home is being invaded. Now the story can end in one of two ways; you can either defend yourself or you can lose your personal belongings and possibly your loved ones. People argue that other weapons like knives or mace might work. But when your criminal is armed with a gun I'm not sure would be effective. You can also call the police but it takes a few minutes for the police to get there while it only takes a few seconds to be shot. I've done extensive research and it has shown me the truth about gun control. While many people believe that “more guns - more violence”! Here are my reasons why I'm against that theory. the-truth-about-gun-control.docx

About 80 years ago a certain world leader after creating a national gun registry for his country, he said “Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!” and you can guess from this saying as I’ve given you a hint; “Adolf Hitler” and Hitler as we all know eventually confiscated all guns owned by Jews and douches into enemies of the states. Well, I am here today to tell you why it is imperative for us as Americans to stand up for our gun rights after seeing what has happened in countries like Nazi Germany.we-should-stand-up-for-our-gun-rights.docx
