Dolan, Edwared, and Margaret scariano. Guns in the United States . 1st ed.,. New York, New York : Moffa,Inc, 1994. 21-22.


The gist of the article was how guns and fictional heroes have fascinated us more because the heroes or evil characters get what they want with the help of a gun. It told how the gun its self was an actor. How the guns in the shows save the ladies in distress, end war or start them and how the good concurs over evil.

I think that to some degree the fictional heroes with there guns inspire and fascinate us. However, it does teach children that if they threaten people they can get what they want. But you can also do that other ways not just with the help of a gun. Therese black mail, touchier, kidnapping and beating. The article does show you how media can influence you without really noticing. But I don’t think Dolan and Margaret should just put the blame on guns. Therese plenty of blame to go around.


Reflecting on the research the more I read the more important it is to have carry permits. They have saved helped several people. One that comes to mind is when a woman was being attacked, she pulled out a gun, and the criminal ran away. Most people who have guns illegally have had problems already with the law. So why is it that citizens are not allowed to protect themselves from the ones who threaten us?
