Two New Novels Move Toward a Poetics of Gun Violence

Two New Novels Move Toward a Poetics of Gun Violence

The campaign Facebook page for Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, traveled a particularly low road with a post attacking a Parkland survivor, Emma Gonzalez, for wearing a Cuban flag patch on her jacket at the March for Our Lives protest.

Would the shootings in Parkland, Las Vegas, Orlando, San Bernardino, Charleston, Aurora, Newtown or Virginia Tech have occurred or been as deadly?

Chris Hippensteel is editor-in-chief of Tiger Talk, the student newspaper at Northwestern Lehigh High School.

We would add to that the polls that show majorities of the American people also support universal gun laws that restrict easy access to highly efficient semi-automatic guns. Most also felt negatively about the idea of arming school teachers. And I think it wise to pay attention to our third president.

Kennedy said, "Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer". Greg Illerburn, who chairs the Recreation Firearms Community of Saskatchewan states that provisions such as license checks, and reclassification of some popular guns simply make it tougher for people acting within the law. "And I wouldn't mind having one of those guns; it would be nice having in the gun cabinet".

"It's time this crap stopped", said John Bryce. He not only voted for the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, he co-authored it. Backers of the military-style weapons ban said they will only use volunteer petitioners.

What would Santorum say about people injured or maimed by a drunk driver? "Nobody should have an assault weapon".

Asian investors stay calm amid Wall Street sell-off
USA drillers cut seven oil rigs in the week to March 29, bringing the total down to 797, the first decline in three weeks. Europe's stock markets slid Tuesday following a Wall Street slump driven by trade war fears and technology sector woes.

Israel Plans to Move more than 16000 African Migrants to Western Countries
At a news conference in Jerusalem , Netanyahu praised the new agreement reached with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR). Earlier Monday, he said discussions were ongoing with countries that could resettle asylum seekers.

"I have seen a change in students' attitudes about guns in school and doing a lot more of saying something if they see something", said Lindsay Kosmala-Furst, one of the main speakers in the rally and an educator within the Buncombe County School system for the past decade. You want to make schools safe? And with you guys joining it's become a much bigger thing.

"There are very similar stories being told", she continued.

"I remember running away from the school terrified as my classmates jumped over the fence to get away from the gunfire", Dittman said.

The Oregonians for Safe Gun Storage group said it expects to collect enough signatures to qualify for a ballot title by the end of this week. Organizers directed blame toward U.S. Congressman Ted Budd and U.S. Senator Richard Burr.

In the 1960s, marches for the civil rights movement took place across the country, demanding equality among black and white people in the States - and activists didn't stop there. "It's about sending a message to Richard Burr and Ted Budd that they don't work for the NRA". The NRA proposed this to help the gun industry sell more guns. "This is awesome what they've done".

Sales at NOVA Armory have not been affected by local and national protests for gun control in the past month, according to owner owner Shaun Poulin.
