Analysis Of The Article ' End The Gun Epidemic

Every year, across the United States, gun control has become an issue and weapons cross the hands of society members. The police department, SWAT teams, the military, and hunters have guns put in their hands due to their job purpose. All these people were perfectly trained to utilize guns before getting hired and they properly use them to save lives. In contrast, there are gangs and other criminals the use weapons of violence and end up spending time in prison. People think these days that banning guns would stop crimes, but, however, this claim is false. Firearms aren’t only used for protection, but also for recreation purposes. All Americans should be required to bear arms due to protect against crime, recreational activities, and against

Guns have been used throughout history for war, hunting, and protection. Since then, the killing capacity and speed of guns has improved dramatically. Guns have been a part of American culture from its roots. However, as times have changed and guns are no longer a necessity, gun control has become increasingly urgent to prevent unnecessary crime and killings. Guns should be banned for everyone but the law enforcement and military. Guns should be banned to prevent mass shootings and lower crime rates, while being supported by history and the constitution.

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to a complete stranger who is in your house, threatening to harm you, and your family, and you cannot do anything about it. Imagine, not being able to go target shooting or hunting, because there are laws passed to prevent you from owning a firearm. The truth is, more and more people in this country are trying to restrict law-abiding people from owning firearms due to the overwhelming rise in gun related crimes. As law abiding citizens, the constitution gives us the right to bear arms. Whether it is for recreation or protection,

     Gun control is a very controversial issue among society at present. Many feel guns are the cause of a great amount of crime. This has been an especially popular topic recently in lieu of the shooting at Columbine and other high schools across the country. Are these crimes reason to take away our freedom to bear arms? I do not believe so. The average person uses guns mainly as a means of protection. If limitations are placed on guns, they will only stop the average American from obtaining a gun. The real criminals out there will still be able to obtain guns through the black market. Every American should have the right to protect them self.

Gun control is a very controversial topic that has has a huge impact on the United States of America. One side believes that if guns were taken away as a whole, the country would see significantly less gun related crimes and death, while the other opposing side thinks that taking away guns is not only against the Second Amendment but would lead to an increase in crime and death because the government would take guns away from people who are legally registered to own and conceal guns. The ongoing debate will continue until the foreseeable future but their are plenty of reasons why more gun laws should be made. Taking away guns is not the answer, learning how to deal with gun violence is the key.

Not only is it our right to own guns for protection against a overbearing government, but also against those who intend to infringe on the peoples security. The criminals don't care about gun control laws for themselves. Actually, they are hoping for more laws will pass for gun control. It makes breaking the law safer and easier for them. A common belief is that people don't need guns because we have the

The world is a dangerous place to live. Every day, we wake up, send our children off to school and spend most of our lives working. We put ourselves in harm’s way every time we leave our homes. At any moment, we could be killed in an automobile accident, plane crash, gunshot wound or any other random occurrence that happens in this crazy world we live in. There have been so many advancements in technology and medicine to protect ourselves from these lucks of the draw events that life throws at us, but some people seem to have a problem with gun ownership. Gun ownership for many is viewed like the seatbelt of a car or the vaccine given to us to prevent the Flu, it is a form of protection and security. Some people in our country would argue that there needs to be a banning of fire arms or more restrictions to keep fire arms out of people’s hands. I disagree with this idea. I feel that Federal and State governments should not bad firearms or make the purchasing process more difficult. It is every legal citizen right to bear arms, whether it is for protection or sport.

Every citizen should be able to protect themselves, their families, and their property. If it takes a gun to do this, then by all means, we should be able to have them in our possession. If guns were taken away from the honest people, the dishonest people would find ways to get them, and without a means of protection how could we protect what is ours. What I am trying to say is if having a gun in your possession may keep someone from trying to harm us, what we have, and own, then guns do not need to be taken from us. Maybe more restrictions should be placed on purchasing guns; for example, fines put on people having guns in their possession that are not registered to them, and also fine the person the gun is registered too. Law enforcement agencies should be notified if a gun is no longer in the possession of the person it was

Gun violence in the United States is higher than ever, and criminals with guns will “…kill as many as 1000 people each day” (Alpers&Wilson). Taking this into perspective, it is only right to fight fire with fire or, in this case, use a gun to protect yourself and those around you. Gun control does not only decrease the ability for protection, it also decreases our rights as U.S citizens. The constitution clearly states that we are given the right to bear arms, meaning we may carry fire arms. Even if we have stricter laws for guns, it will not stop killers from shooting innocent people. These men and women causing damage to the lives of numerous individuals do not care if there is a law banning guns, because all they truly want to do is

In the article “ shooting our way out of a gun epidemic” (2017), Renee Graham claims that gun violence in America has reached another level. Graham supports her claim by making various references the the many mass shootings, comments made by our president and previous president. Renee explains that legislators should now regret voting to expand the right to carry concealed weapons. Graham goes on to say that after this vote by the house of representatives, the worst mass shooting in modern history in Las vegas and soon after a churchgoer in texas took place. The author’s purpose is to argue that america has become very trigger happy due to the stress of the right to carry an concealed weapon. She also mentions that congress has done nothing

The editorial group uses comparision to try to convince me, which I find some of them convincing and some none convincing. The comparison the editorial groups to the killings happening around the United States being related to terrorism is convincing. The way they bring terrorism into their side of the argument is smart and easy to convince the reader due to most people's knowledge and hate for terrorism. Many people have prior knowledge of guns and terrorism making it easy and relatable for them. However, their comparison to other countries gun regulation does not do them any good. After they state some countries with strict gun control they tell the reader Americans are getting “Modified guns” From those same countries. They

Imagine somebody breaking into your home with the intentions of hurting you and your family and trying to take all your valuables that you own in your house, and not having anything to protect your loved ones. Without the protection of a firearm, the intruder could injure or kill all members within the household easily. In the United States, according to the Bill of Rights, a citizen has the right to bear arms, however, recently people have started to believe that guns only incite violence and therefore gun laws need to be more strict. Although, If you own the firearm for the right reasons and go through the process of having a carrying license, then that is within your rights to protect yourself and be able to own the gun. Therefore,

Gun control is a severe debate occurring all throughout society. Should society allow guns? The question stated is one that comes up quite often. According to the United States Constitution, one has the right to bear arms, however; many laws have provided security to society in one owning a gun. I agree with the second amendment which states "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the safety of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." It is important for people to have the right to carry a gun to protect themselves. For instance, if someone were to attempt to rob one's house, a gun would protect them more than not owning a firearm. Society is grateful for the help of police but, sometimes the

For every 100 American citizens, around ninety guns are owned. And just because people have guns, that doesn’t mean that they get to have every gun possible without permission. People will be able to have some guns that they can use to protect themselves, or when hunting. In no way, shape, or form am I saying that they citizens of the United States of America can have four automatic machine guns in their possession without some kind of license. I think that if you outlaw guns, only the outlaws will have guns. Then how are you supposed to protect yourself and your loved ones? I believe that guns don’t kill people. People kill people with guns.

In our society, there is a lot of talk about safety and opinions from people who either support or oppose gun control. With all the recent terrorist activity and violence, many people feel uneasy about the idea of others owning firearms. Some believe that firearms should be banned to create a safer environment. On the other side, many people claim that owning and carrying guns would provide a safer society since we would be able to defend ourselves. I do not believe that banning guns would make this country safer, but instead it would create a more dangerous environment.
