Persuasive Speech

“Where you have the most armed citizens in America, you have the lowest violent crime rate. Where you have the worst gun control, you have the highest crime rate.” Ted Nugent. The top three states strictest gun laws are California, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. All three of these states have some of the highest crime rate cities in the United States.

 

Why would you take a person’s only defense against crime aside from law enforcement. The average response time for a 911 call is 10 minutes. “The guy could shoot me and be 5 minutes down the road by the time responders are on the scene, says Jacob Young.” If Jacob had had a concealed handgun, he could have saved himself and detained the criminal for the authorities.

 

Without citizens having guns the government can basically do whatever they want. The citizens then have no line of defense from foreign or domestic threats. This could lead to a rise in black market guns (which are not usually safe), rise of gang and non-gang  violence, and loss of industry jobs. Strict gun control could literally cause a civil war or a revolution of government vs. citizens.

 

Lastly, think about your family and loved ones. An estimated 3.7 million home invasions occurred each year on average from 2003 to 2007. This number is growing. According to the FBI, the average dollar loss per home invasion in the U.S. is $2,185. When you couple the victim’s losses with criminal justice expenditures, a typical home invasion is estimated to cost nearly $20,000. Let me tell you this, you can buy a shotgun for a few hundred dollars. A small cost compared to the physical and emotional cost you will pay.


I leave you with this thought. Will you protect yourself, your family,and your country or will you be a person who voted to give your right to own protection to the government. Think about this before you decide to vote for strict gun control.

A Life in Football

I woke up from the horrible dream where I can’t play football . I try to fall asleep with a good dream this time.

I realized where I was now, I’m back in Shreveport at the super bowl . It’s all tied at tweleve points each. It’s down to the final play where I scored the final touchdown and won the game. That’s the most important play of football that I played in.

Football has been the most important thing in my life. Through my life football has tought me many things like quick thinking , determination, and teamwork. I think the reason football is so important to me is because it’s been my escape from the bad and worry of the world and the situations of my life,but when I step on the field and smell the fresh cut grass, and the smell of the football helmets it’s the best. It’s that feeling when it’s just you and the guy across from you and it’s who’s going to win the battle. When you get that feeling of accomplishment when you win the game, or beat the guy across from you, it’s amazing!

The worst thing that has happened to me is when the doctor discovered that I had a blood disorder that could possibly make me have a brain bleed if I got hit in the head hard . The doctor told me after many blood tests that it was possible I would never play sports ever again. That thought just crushed me into a million pieces. Think about one thing, how would you take it if the most important thing to you is ripped away and casted out too far for you to reach. Imagine what a relief it would be to be told you could play. The doctor told me I was alright to play but with extra padding and precautions.
I awake from the beautiful dream and start to get ready for our football game and I paused to think,”don’t let setbacks keep you from your dreams” , as I’m reminded by the statement that is stained to my brain as we march onto the field of battle “Play every minute like its your last”.

Why let a Shadow Cover a Dream

Get up
it’s not over yet.
That was just a setback
don’t lat the weight of the world
settle upon your shoulders.
when life gets you down remember
thatt you’re not alone.
Don’t worry about the worry’s
oh the world.
It’s just a shadow that blocks you away.
Don’t let a shadow cover a dream.

What’s Your Favorite Sense?

Whats your favorite sense ? Well mine is being able to see, why you may ask is because there are so many things that are wonderful about being able to see.  The thing is that if you can see you  can see the expression on somebody’s face if they are proud of you or mad at you but any way you can cover hearing. Now if you can’t taste  you can still look at a  juicy steak or a buttery biscuit and say wow that looks delicious. If you can’t touch you still can look at a soft lush puppy dog and say wow I bet his fir is softer than silk.

I think the reason it’s so important to me is because it lets you see the wonders of the world. There are so many beautiful things in the world need to be seen like blood red roses and the amazing food, there just so many things to see but the best thing is seeing the one’s you love the most and that’s why my favorite sense is sight.

My Rock

Hey, you there. Stop and listen. Do you have someone who’s    brave,caring,loving,selfless and dependable. Are they your rock?

Well i’m gonna tell you about my hero,my mom. The reason I chose my mom because she helps me with everything I need. She’s brave because she’s not afraid of any challenge and she will always do what’s right. She’s loving and caring because she said that she will always love me no matter what and she would place my life over hers to ensure my safety. The reason she’s selfless is because even though its her birthday she will still buy me something I need over something she wants. Lastly,dependable, I depend on her a lot,when I forgot my gym clothes she brought them to me and she drives me to sports and many more things that are too long to list.

My mom is my hero because she is my rock,when I was 10. When I started getting abnormal bruises we went to the doctor where they found out that I had mild Hemophilia type A. The doctor said I may never be able to play football again, I was crushed,I may never get to play sports again. My mom was always there for me and was my rock.

The last thing about my mom is; Don’t let your past affect your future; the reason I say that is because when my mom was a little girl her childhood wasn’t very good because of her unsupportive parents.  That’s when she decided that she was going to give her kids a better childhood. I hope you have somebody like this in your life because they will always be there for you. My mom is my physical and mental rock because she helps me get through everything.
