My reflection on my blog


I am glad that I chose my topic because it was really interesting and I like to talk about guns. Somethings I learned was many people die because of guns, many people own guns, and all the people have very different opinions about guns. An advice I give people is that don't play with guns because they are very dangerous. The one post I would like people to see is my poem because I tried very hard and I think it says the true. Something that I would have done differently is to put more information and put more details in them. I feel that i did a good job on keeping up with the blogs. I think that blogs are easier then typed essays and they are very fun. The easiest part for me was to post comments. The hardest part for me in this assignment was to make-up a poem. I feel that by reading other people blogs was really interesting how they each had different opinions about the topics. Also that they all had really interesting topics which I didn't really know that much about their topics.

and more deaths by firearm

deaths at works,

deaths at shopping stores,

deaths everywhere,

people injured, and

people die when,

will this stop?


a person's opinion

Gun control isn't the answer
By James Q. Wilson


I found this information in Los Angeles Times. This person thinks that, they haven't really done anything because we are in the middle of a presidential race and Democratic think that can cause them votes. He also thinks that many other newspapers have judged. For example, one newspaper said that "gun violence has increase when really it has fallen for the last dozen of years."He thinks that it would be almost impossible to confiscate millions of weapons. Also that there is no easy solution on guns just keep on passing laws on gun control. That is what this person thought about guns.I agree with what he thinks because I also think that it would be almost impossible to confiscate millions of weapons and that there is no easy solution on guns.

Map





somethings the map explains is that some states don't want guns any more. For example the green box which is 2 states don't need a permit to have a gun.Then the blue can only have a gun if they take a class and if they pass the background check. The yellow is they must prove a need for the gun or if they are a celebrity. And also explains in some states how much murders have increase. Also tells that chicago and washington D.C. have the highest murder rates.

A recent case by a gun

The most recent case by a gun is a young men went into a mall and shooting people. He killed eight people and nine others were wound. He also killed himself. This happened at Westroads mall in Omaha Nebraska. They said that he had too many problems going on . He had broke up with his girlfriend and they parents had kicked him out of the house. A cop arrived six minutes later after the call and there wasn't anymore shooting. The guy left a suicide note at his home and was found . The note said that he wanted to be "Out in style." He wanted people to know him. Also people said that he shoot 20 times to a crowd. People then were running everywhere and even in the fitting rooms. In conclusion that is a reason why guns are not good because many innocent people died and not even knowing the person. I found this article in truthdig.

Pros and Cons


Some reasons why people are against guns is because they think it is easier for bad things to happen. Also adults are mostly against guns because they are worried for their school children. For example with all the school shooting that is going on and went on. Also most crimes happened with guns or are done with guns. There has more crime with guns. They also think that it is not good to have a gun because they think that anything could happened in any second. They think that there is many others ways to protect themselves either then guns.
People that are with guns think that it is the easiest way to protect themselves and their love ones. Also they say that if guns are ban then they would be going against the 2nd amendment in the constitution. Also because people use guns as hunting and they should have the right to use guns. They also think that with out guns in America then we won't be as powerful. Those are somethings about pros and cons of guns.
