Criminology : November 17

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

Welcome to class everyone. Today we're going to participate in a class-contained project.

Please come up to the front of the class. Using this generator, generate five "weapons" and select your favorite.

Then, I would like you to quickly create a description of the weapon (it's a canon-like device that shoots snakes and cheerios, it causes tear duct excretions and sexual dysfunction with a large screen that displays this image, etc.)

After you do, I want you to outline a few laws that should be established to control the use of the weapon by the general population. Should it be banned outright? Should a license be required? Should there be an age limit on how old you must be to own one? Regulations on its ammunition and storage?

Homework for the weekend: Read one article of your choosing on gun laws.

Angela walks to the front of class. "The weapons it generated for me were the Boltlauncher, Hexahunter, Knifeshiv, Septatracker and Wishtwister," she says. "I guess my favorite is the Wshtwister -- it sounds like it would make sure whatever your opponent wanted to happen would go wrong."

She then outlines suggested gun regulations.

"Interesting concept, Angela. Good work."
