Gun rights in the United States: Does abiding by the Second Amendment mean gun restrictions are illegal, or should the government limit civilian ownership of modern weapons that the founding fathers couldn’t imagine over 200 years ago?

Your speech should be between six and eight minutes long and formal in style. Keep in mind that an average person speaks about 150 words per minute, so your speech will be between 900 and 1,200 words long. As you write your draft, remember that your purpose is to persuade your audience to accept the opinion reflected in the thesis statement.

Your introduction should include the thesis statement and should pull your reader into your speech, showing the audience why they should care about this topic. The body of the speech is where you develop your main ideas and provide supporting evidence and arguments. You should consider any counterarguments

The second amendment of our constitution defends the possession of a firearm as a way for each citizen to guarantee his own safety and the safety of his own family, but I ask you, are we really safe with this amendment?

Our society has already faced many problems related to freedom and the right of civilian citizens to carry weapons, to be able to use them as they please. We have seen several cases of shootings in cinemas, schools, nightclubs, clubs, among other places, where a citizen, with the right to carry a gun, decided that he should shoot in these places. How many times have we seen cases of citizens shooting each other for futile and superfluous motives, like a silly and unimportant curse.

With these facts in mind, I wish to tell you that no, the amendment does not guarantee our freedom on the contrary, it takes away our freedom and leaves us to the mercy of citizens who may have the most wrong thoughts possible.

If we really want to have security, we must turn against this amendment and demand that government officials guarantee our security through efficient public policies. Creating these policies is the responsibility of the government and they cannot just throw their responsibility on our shoulders. That's because they are the ones who receive wonderful salaries, which the working class will never have access to, to promote the security and growth of the country.

In short, we can conclude that supporting civil freedom to use weapons not only puts us in a position of insecurity, but also relieves the work of those who were elected by the people to carry society's problems on their shoulders and solve them in the name of the political office they hold. We must not accept anything less than that.

they bound logs together and built a raft. enkidu steered it down the great river. gilgamesh carried humbaba's head.

i decided to stay late in the laboratory to continue my experiment with the lightbulb. at midnight, thomas edison opened the door and walked in with his head held high.

1. he leaned on the wall and observed me carefully.

2. his harsh scrutiny made me self-conscious of my skills in the lab.

3. perhaps it was just me, but the air in the laboratory began to thicken as i found myself having difficulty to breathe.

4. i turned to look at him fully as i mentally prepared myself for what my very first words would be to thomas edison.

5. the next couple of seconds shocked me. it wasn't me who spoke, but rather him and with diction i could never think of using in a simple sentence.
