In modern society, guns are seen as a form of control. Those who have guns are able to overpower those who do not. This trend was set when guns were first invented and has stayed the same throughout history. The one place where guns are not a symbol of power and control is in literature, specifically “The Old Gun” and Hamilton. In Mo Yan’s short story “The Old Gun”, the protagonist is a hungry boy who does not even know how to use the titular firearm.

Similarities and Differences between the two perspective about Gunpowder plot. The similarities that I can see in the two of the perspective that I have chosen is that they were both related to religious reasons and those reasons can be track back down to the events in the past reign of the King’s and Queen’s of England since 1500’s. I also think the similarities of the two perspective is that their main motives did not quite go the same as what they want, for religious terrorism Fawkes and his conspiracy they did not get the chance to blow up the Parliament and any of their next plan also that when they think that this plot would lead Catholics to rise up against England , instead it did not go the same as what they think it was supposed to be. On the other hand the plot by government perspective of Gunpowder plot was also not what they think it will be, as for Robert Cecil who wants Catholics to be ban from England, after the Gunpowder plot event was done, James I did not ban catholics in England he just assumed that those who were plotters are fanatic rather than whole community of Catholics and also according to Gunpowder Plot Bonfire Night by Croft, at the confession of Fawkes on 9 of November 1605

I hope that everyone (well, at least some of you) had the opportunity to enjoy the special programming block shown on TCM during the months of June and July known as TCM 's Summer of Darkness. Every Friday during this period, the TCM schedule was jam-packed with key noir pieces (eg. Detour), as well as films that were great "influencers" - essential viewing that established the mood and essence of what would come to engender this film movement/genre (eg., Fritz Lang 's M). And not to be left out, there were a even a few contemporary pieces that had clearly had a noir DNA imprinted on them.

The most captivating aspect of any Western movie is a gun-slinging cowboy. They’re cool, skilled, and at some point in the film they usually take the law into their own hands, shooting up all the bad guys and getting the girl in the process. This however, raises a question. Are these men on the right side of the law? Yes, their actions are guided by their own sense of justice, but doesn’t bypassing the law make them no better than the criminals they are going after?

Gun control has a dangerous track record; it has been seen to cause the death of millions of people, and the unrightful hostile takeover of basic freedoms of innocent citizens. Throughout history gun control has been introduced many times in foreign countries for the sole purpose of disarming, and threatening its own citizens. For example, in Nazi Germany, Jews were forbidden to purchase or own any firearms. Unable to defend themselves Adolf Hitler ordered the murder of over six million Jewish citizens. (Polsby 21)

"In 1990, handguns were used to kill approximately 48 people in Japan, 8 in Great Britain, 34 in Switzerland, 52 in Canada, 58 in Israel, 42 in West Germany and 10,728 in the United States”. For many years, America has been regarded as one of the world’s most perilous and ferocious countries in the world. The death rate caused by active gun shooters in the US is extraordinary: “since 1968, more Americans have died from gunfire than died in … all the wars of this country 's history”. Hence why public ownership of guns should be abolished in the USA. Can you imagine to what extent the death rate in America has increased by now?

Know the basic parts, how to safely open and close the action and remove any ammunition from the gun or magazine” (NRA Gun Safety Rules 5).
