Gun Control Won T Prevent School Shootings By John G. Marshalland

An evolving and highly debated problem that continues to grow in our society, is the gun control epidemic. Gun violence in America is a national epidemic. Many people carelessly take advantage of Gun use and manipulate the tool without much thought to any repercussions. Many lives have been loss due to people legally or illegally obtaining guns and taking matters upon themselves to be executioners in holding other people's lives in their hands. Specifically, ongoing gun violence in schools have become a horrific catastrophe. It is putting student lives at risk, in a place that is supposed to facilitate a certain level of safety for the students. According to the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, there was 558 gun incidents in schools

The second amendment states that right to keep and bear arms. This law has been etched in the United States history for centuries thus creating the highly popularized debate whether they should be gun control laws. Members and advocates of the National Rifle Association would argue against gun control. Their aim is to shift the focus away from guns and their destructive potential but instead have people focus on the criminal and shift the argument to them being mentally incapable or suggest that there is a lack of security within schools (Henigan 2009). Voices of the NRA do make valid points, however it prevents them from seeing the bigger picture. We as a society have drifted from the crux of the issue, which is, when put simply, guns are dangerous. In America, guns are extremely dangerous. Anyone who chooses to Google “gun violence statistics” and find the official research study done by the National Institute of Justice it would show you that 15 of the 25 worst mass shootings in the last 50 years took place in America. It also vividly reminds us of how guns are easily obtained. The mass shootings that took place in America over the last

The Second Amendment of the constitution of the United States was adopted on December 15, 1791. “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed” (Gun Control Laws). There is controversy on the exact meaning of the Second Amendment. There is also a lot of controversy surrounding guns and gun laws, and what could be done to prevent gun violence and mass shootings in our country. There has to be a way to prevent gun violence, while still upholding the Second Amendment and protecting the rights of law abiding citizens who have the right to own and carry guns legally.

It mentions several mass school shootings involving children and how common this has become. The author believes the government is showing to be incentive to their lives by not putting better gun laws in place. The author has a strong opinion against the Republicans and blames them for the deaths. Although, this article focuses more on how the government should fix the issue, it could still prove useful in the essay. This information on current gun laws could be used as background to the cause of the problem being addressed in the essay. It may be able to bring a stronger emotion to the essay to making people realize since the government is not doing anything we must take it into our own hands. However, the idea of creating stricter gun laws should be a focused solution in the essay, since people do not have much control over

Did you know from 1950 to 2016 98% of all public mass shootings were committed in gun free zones? I believe that the second amendment is important because, it gives you a right to protect yourself and your family. Guns save lives and lower crime rates. Banning assault rifles won’t do much to help lower crime or stop mass shootings.

While Americans were contemplating gun control proposals in the wake of mass shootings at a Colorado School, another gunman massacred 50 people in a club in Orlando. This incident brought heated political exchanges between President Obama and Trump, the Republican presidential candidate. It is estimated that in 2015 alone, there were more than 351 mass shootings in the United States. This is a worrying trend that should be reversed as soon as possible. Surprisingly, the trend has divided Americans into two groups. On one extreme end, there are those Americans who believe that the government should enforce gun control. On the other end, some Americans insist that stricter gun controls will not help in the fight against killings. In this light, this paper will try to provide a detailed analysis of the gun control debate while highlighting the various points made by the proponents and opponents of the gun control. The essay posits that gun control is counterproductive.

The Second Amendment, as it stands, is only one generalized sentence which does not take into consideration all of the factors in the case. For instance, the banning of certain types of weapons will not achieve the desired effect alone. Instead, a multi-faceted approach to the problem will be required to achieve the optimum effectiveness. For instance, in most cases, involving mass shootings, the weapons used were either legally obtained or were stolen by relatives of someone who legally owned the weapons. Perhaps, requiring all gun owners to securely store their weapons in a gun safe, and being held responsible if the guns fall into the wrong hand. Likewise, requiring more stringent background checks, possibly including psychiatric exams and a list of personal references to ensure that guns did not end up in the hands of someone who is mentally

The second amendment is a very important thing in U.S. history. Without the second Amendment we would have never had such great things as Bacon 's rebellion, or the Civil war. It all actuality though the second amendment is in our constitution, because we used guns to rebel against the monarchy of England. After that we determined that the ability to own guns was a right, so that people would have the right to rebel incase America became a dictatorship. People still hold value to those laws today.In 2016 it is a different pitcher today, last year there were over 372 mass shootings. We live in a world where I, could go and buy a gun, and point it at a crowd of people and hold down the trigger until enough people are dead. We live in a world of little background checks. We live in a world where people value the second amendment over the natural right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that were taken away from everybody shot. We live in a world where 20 six year olds can get killed and people tell us to not politicize it. We live in a cycle of shooting, grief, no coverage repeat. America is behind in the need to ban assault rifles. People will continue to die unless something is solved. With enough logic, one should be able to come to the conclusion that the right to bear arms, is wrong.

Mental health can affect anyone at any stage in life. Some may say mental health is not a real issue. However mental health has been the cause of school shootings, and arming a non-sound mind could put people in danger. According to “61% of Teachers Stressed Out, 58% Say Mental Health Is Not Good in New National Survey” say over the years the amount of teachers that say they are stressed, has risen at an overwhelming pace. Giving teachers guns would only add to the stress. Over half of teachers nationally are suffering from stress provoking situations, like sleep deprivation and bullying from colleagues and school goers. People have done rash things in the past, resulting in many fatalities, all because of the way they were treated. If teachers

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution was founded under the philosophy of protecting an individual’s liberties and freedoms. Liberties each person possess and that are guaranteed, not granted by government, framed with in the first ten amendments of the United States Constitution. Individuals have the natural right to defend their freedom, their families, communities and nation from immediate threat and government incursion. In the wake of present day events, mass shootings involving gun violence, supporters of gun control have called for stricter laws restricting legal firearm ownership. They believe there are no individual rights to own firearms, giving complete power to the national government. On the opposing side, gun

Throughout the years there have been numerous of debate confrontations about regardless of whether weapon control is a decent answer for the United States. Therefore, two extremely particular sides have shaped: one for gun control and one against it. As of late, the pro weapon control side has contended that the numerous school shootings were halfway an aftereffect of our nation 's negligible firearm control. To numerous this might appear like a sensible contention, however in actuality it is an over-speculation; there are numerous different variables that have impact in horrendous occasions like school shootings. Those against firearm control have contended that weapon control laws are an infringement of subject 's protected rights

In the “Allowing Guns Won’t Make Campuses Safer” article, the president of Drexel University in Philadelphia John A. Fry, who happens to be the author of this article, made plenty valid points to support his point of view. He goes back into recent American history and provides incidents where guns have led to extreme violence. For example, last year a student killed six and injured thirteen near the University of California in Santa Barbara. Another incident was in 2013 when a twenty-three year old shot his father and brother before killing three others at Santa Monica College, and that is just to name a few. Mr. Fry said, “Only in America do we respond to shootings with the need for more guns. Arming college campuses will do little to reduce mass attacks, and will likely lead to more shooting deaths” revealing his stance on guns on campuses and in our country.

As you are learning in school you and your friends hear talk about a shooter on the school campus with a gun and you hear gunshots in the hallway what do you do now? That's what happened to Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. Two shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold who attended Columbine High School. Eric and Dylan sought out to kill as many people as they possibly could. The pair was able to get weapons from an outside source who was passed all the gun regulations at the time then the source gave the guns to the shooters. There was no way gun control laws could of prevented this tragic school shooting. The goals in this essay is explain how stricter gun control laws would not have prevented the school

John p. Stevens gives the meaning of the second amendment by focusing on precedents. He gives an example of a killing of children in Newtown from grammar-school in December 2012 and other unnecessary massacres that have involved guns. He gives estimations that in general, over 30,000 people are massacred using guns. Such incidents necessitate adoption of rules to lessen their occurrences (Stevens).

One of the most debated and polarizing issues in modern day America is the issues surrounding the second amendment. The issue of gun control has been raging on in the American political scene for years and, talk about the issue has only grown. The debate has always been brought to the limelight after major shootings throughout the United States, most recently with the horrible attack at the nightclub in Orlando, Florida. According to the crowd sourced website, Mass Shooting Tracker, there have over 370 mass shootings that have taken place this year itself. The tracker considers all acts of violence where four or more people are wounded or killed. The second amendment has been put into place over 200 years ago to give the people the right to bear arms. While people argue the exact interpretation of the second amendment, the ability to own a gun in America must be respected. There are many pros and cons to owning guns in America, but we can all agree that drastic steps must be taken to end the violence that guns have strangled America with.
