Bowling for Columbine essay

Bowling for Columbine

Weapons are too easy to get. In the United States alone there are 11,127 deaths every year from guns. In Canada, there are only 165 deaths every year from guns. People in the United States feel the need for guns for safety, but guns are what make it unsafe.
In the beginning of Bowling for Columbine, Michael Moore walks into a bank, and if he opened an account with that bank they would give him a free gun. This is an example of why weapons are too easy to get.
In the Columbine school shooting, the teenagers that committed the crime bought their 9mm ammunition from the local K Mart.  Because the ammunition was so easily gotten they were able to commit these murders.
A six year old child that was staying at his uncle’s house took a gun from the house and brought it to school. The child then shot a six year old girl that was in his class. The child did not know why he shot the girl but the shooting could have been prevented by properly locking the weapon up.
People in the United States feel the need for guns for safety because of all the shows about crime and what they see on the news. Guns do not make the United States safe it makes it dangerous because everyone is scared of everyone else.
In conclusion, weapons are too easy to get to kill someone. Michael Moore shows us this by getting a gun by opening an account in a bank. Also by showing us that ammunition is too easy to get to kill someone, and by showing us that even children are able to kill someone with a gun. These are all reasons why weapons are too easy to get.

Samsung Focus

Samsungs Focus is almost like the I-Phone. it is slightly larger and cheaper. The Focus is a touch screen phone and the home screen of the phone consists of tiles which select different experiences. Selecting a contact brings up the persons phone number, email, and face book profile all on one screen. Texting is quick and easy and messages send instantly. Overall the Focus is a well built phone and any cons will probably be fixed in the future.

Porsche unveils 4th-Gen Speedster

Porsche's latest car is the Speedster 356. It is like the original speedster built in 1953. There will be only 356 cars made. The car is a two seater and comes standard with a convertible top. It comes with a V6 3.8 litre with 408 horsepower and a seven speed semi-automatic transmission. Instead of using plastic side windows and other things used to minimize weight, like the original, the new Porsche uses technology to get its performance. Both the original and the new speedsters have high resale values. There is no word on pricing in the U.S. but the German version sells for 202,000 euros. Some of the technologies used are the active suspension management system to keep the car stabil at high speeds and in cornering.
