How would you describe, in your own words, Atticus' personal position on firearms? Integrate a quote into your response.

I would describe Atticus' personal view on guns to be disgusted as he seemed reluctant to shoot the mad dog, and also reminding Jem that 'courage is not a man with a gun in his hand' after Jem started to idolise Atticus over his 'courageous' actions. |

I agree with this. I think Atticus resents the way he is forced to kill the dog and sees guns as a dangerous weapon, rather than a symbol of courage. |

I believe that Atticus doesn't use guns, as he now believes that violence, and killing is not nescessary, nor something to be proud of. He wants to make sure that his children see him for his intelligence, and for them to have pride in him for the courage he shows in everyday life, for "courage is not a man with a gun." |

Atticus seems to dislike firearms, based on when he says, "courage is not a man with a gun in his hand". This shows how much more responsible and mature Atticus can be. He wouldnt judge someone's personality and characteristics just by what he can see. He mustn't like the stereo type around these kind of things. |

I agree that this is how he wishes to have his children look up to him. His characteristics do not need to include an instrument of death which contradicts his beliefs of equality. |

I agree, it also seems as though he might have used guns more often when he was younger until he became more educated and realised how horrible they really are. |

He probably also sees them as a symbol of violence and is regretful of his skill of a gun as it supports what he tries so hard to avoid. |

Atticus doesn't want his children growing up with a gun, like he did. |

Atticus seems to dislike firearms, based on when he says, "courage is not a man with a gun in his hand". This is true and he also is hesitant when asked to shoot the mad dog which could lead one to believe he dislikes firearms enough to not even want to use them. |

Atticus doesn't approve of guns as he doesn't approve of violence and they are linked. He tells Jem, "courage is not a man with a gun in his hand" trying to raise ahem to not like firearms either. |

I think Atticus tries to avoid firearms at all cost,s as when he is forced to shoot the mad dog, he is very reluctant to do so. I don't think Atticus sees it as a courageous act as Jem seems to because it does sort of go against everything Atticus stands for. Atticus makes sure to remind him that "courage is not a man with a gun in his hand".

A quote that fits with the statement violence and guns are linked is when Atticus says, “havin' a gun around's an invitation to somebody to shoot you". |
