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.

Cameron generates the Cryorod, Panzerpike, Pentapiercer, Radioeater and the Shivshooter.

"I think the Radioeater is my favourite weapon. It's actually something that is designed to be used in aircrafts. It uses the radio frequency of the enemy to override its controls. Of course, I have no clue how that would work."

"I think the weapon should be banned outright and left only for the military and police forces to use."

"That would be a very powerful weapon in the wrong hands. Thank you, good work today."

Cameron nods. "Which is probably why it's best to keep it banned. Thank you, si-Grissom."
