Anti Gun Control

“A Chicago Uber driver who’s licensed to carry a gun wounded a gunman who was firing on a crowd of people”-Source A. This is claimed as self defense and what do you think will happen if that courageous cab driver left that gunman alone? The crowd will die, including the driver, and worse things will happen. When somebody is trained properly, guns are the best way of self defense and a ban takes their hobby away. Many people believe that school shootings like Sandy Hook happen because of guns. Important to realize, this is false because the shooter grew up being picked every day and caused depression and stress through his life. As Source C states, “gun owners need to grieve us”, not all of them do. In effect, not only self-defense, but also recreational activities is also a purpose for being against gun control. In Source B, it states that, “People want to own guns for recreational purposes.” Several people who own firearms utilize them for deer hunting while others. As an illustration, there is a sport called Action Shooting which people utilize firearms to see how many targets they could hit. Although this may be true, there is more to

A 2012 study found that there an estimated 310 million guns in the U.S. They are comprised of 114 million handguns, 110 million rifles, and 86 million shotguns. In a population of 314 million people, that equates to almost one gun per person. There are 8 million firearms produced globally each year, of which 4.5 million are purchased by Americans. Now while those statistics are staggering, it’s only fair to mention that only 20% of the population owns 65% of the U.S. firepower.

Reiman and Leighton comprehensively begin the discussion of crime by outlining their main objectives, establishing the immediate problems surrounding crime control in America, and setting the groundwork for their premises. In recent years, the crime rate in the United States has declined. This decline is generally attributed to ‘tough on crime’ and mass incarceration policies, but the authors are quick to assert that other variables--economic, social-- are greater contributors to this decrease, with the ‘imprisonment binge’ only actually contributing a small amount to the decline. These strict crime enforcement policies might have a small impact on crime prevention, but criminologists are concerned with the potential effect such policies might have on criminal justice procedures--promoting profit rather than safety-- and endangering citizens’ rights (particularly those considered minorities).

Should the mere fact that criminals committing crimes with the use of guns infringe the national right of the innocent to possess guns. This is a question that arouses everywhere and no matter which way it is viewed the controversy will always go on. "A gun is a mere tool that can be used for good or evil. Our country is based on the belief that man is good until he or she is proven to be otherwise."(Harris p.2) This means that only a few people are committing crimes with uses of guns and why completely remove them from society. Therefore, we should strenuously protect the rights of free men and likewise prosecute and punish the criminals who abuse the rights of others. The problem with gun violence is associated with the child's

Did you know that in 2010 alone, there where over 30,000 gun related deaths? Only 35% of those death where from homicide and the leading cause of death by guns in America are from suicide. Gun control activist argue that without guys we are more safer; Gun rights activist argue with guns we are safer. Despise both groups arguments it is mutually agreed guns are dangerous and aren't something that should be played with. Gun control is not effective as it has not been shown to reduce the number of gun-related crimes because, states with strict gun laws see no decrease in crime, the Paris attack shows gun laws don't stop terrorists, the 2nd amendment guarantees our right to bear arms and gun laws don't stop terrorists from buying guns from a black market.

In today’s society there is a huge debate between Pro-Gun and Anti-Gun supporters. The debate is whether or not the everyday law abiding citizen should continue to have the right to own a firearm. The law abiding citizen who choose to own a handgun for self-defense and with proper training can easily do so. But law abiding citizens are not the only ones who also choose to carry a firearm; criminals take advantage of this as well. The law abiding citizen follows the law every day, they go through the legal processes to purchase and conceal their weapons. Unlike criminals, they have many avenues of acquiring their weapons by stealing, robbing homes, or the black market. Unfortunately the bulk of the crimes dealing with firearms are committed with handguns; which is America’s number one problem. While the majority of the people agree that something must be done, there is no one solution for the problem. Anti-gun enthusiasts believe guns in general should be banned as to protect the population as a whole. But, the laws that are currently in place are ineffective and fail to protect the population and take away the ability to self-defend themselves from criminals who acquire handguns illegally.

The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that gun for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. When it comes to protecting freedom, Americans, including those on the Supreme Court, recognize that personal liberties must often be modified for the safety and protection of others. Yet today’s gun rights advocates constantly cite the Second Amendment of the Constitution, the right to bear arms, when threatened by attempts to limit, but not eliminate, modern-day weapons. Piggybacking on this idea is our right to free speech; it is frequently regulated through obscenity and decency laws. Slander,

There are multiple reasons that those who advocate for gun control do so. One reason is that supporters of gun control believe that

Gun Control has been an issue that has been brought to the public’s eyes in recent years. This main issue has been going on for many years, for example when John F. Kennedy was assassinated; it raised public awareness to the lack of control on sales and also possession of guns in America. Until 1968 guns were available over the counter in stores and through mail catalogs to just about any adult in America. This was an example of how loosely guns were regulated which bring us back to the issue of guns. The constitution tells us in the second amendment that we, as American Citizens, have the right to bear arms. But the government is trying to change that by regulating everything to do with owning a gun. My stance: Gun

Crime and guns, the two always seem to be acting together, however, these two elements are absolutely nothing alike. Do guns commit the horrific crimes? Do the laws placed on gun control keep the citizens of the United States safe? These are the questions many citizens and lawmakers are asking themselves when they try to launch laws on gun control. Although many people are for gun control, they do not realize that gun control violate the United States Second Amendment. The Amendment is only 27 words: “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.” Citizens all around America are making the decision that they are for gun control. Their hope is that it will help with the recent shootings, robberies, and murders. However, some people believe that if they take away people’s rights for guns the criminals out there may be able to get their hands on guns anyway. Therefore, guns should be used for law enforcement agencies, to prevent the criminals from becoming more powerful than our own police officers.

A shooting here; a shooting there; a consistent day to day event heard in the daily papers and on the news stations on TV. New media are announcing a shooting someplace. Regardless of whether the shootings are intentional or unintentional; they are occurring all over the United States. In today’s society, gun control is essential; stricter federal laws must be enacted to save lives. Individual states’ laws are not sufficient to reduce deaths caused by guns

Gun control is necessary in order to have a peaceful city, country and world. Without gun control, many lives will be taken for unnecessary reasons. Not only should things be settled in a different way, but violence is never the answer. Those who do not support gun control show they are for violence and are not thinking in terms of safeness for all. This is why I am pro-gun control. Gun control is a controversial topic that has been around for decades in the United States and all around the world. The second amendment states, “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.” (U.S. Const. am. 2)The questions at hand are as follows; what does a “well-regulated militia” entail, should the background checks require more and what are the reasons for gun control? There are two sides to this argument which include the people for gun control who believe guns should be taken off the streets and the ones against gun control who believe it is a right as a citizen of the United States to carry a gun.

Scholarly Essay: Gun Control There has been considerable debate recently in Canada over the issue of gun control. The Canadian parliament enacted the Firearms Act to enforce gun control by requiring gun owners to register their firearms. Just recently, the government of Alberta lead in a charge, including five other provinces and numerous pro-gun groups, complaining that the law is unconst...

The challenge of crime policy is that crime is not evenly distributed across the socio-economic population. There are a multitude of reasons why this is a fact, but what is important to know, is that it greatly impacts crime policy. Criminal justice policies have vastly changed, especially in the last fifty years, in an effort to respond to citizens’ needs because of the uneven distribution of crime. Therefore, this means it is a reactionary response. It is imperative to remember that crime tends to effect the poor, the young, and particular ethnic groups more, when examining criminal justice policies. Policies that are of the criminal justice persuasion in their nature, in the extent of the policies, and in their impact directly effects the liberties of a governments’ citizens are always in flux.

In the United States there are a lot of different views about guns and gun laws. As a hunter and outdoorsman, I own guns and use guns. As a gun owner, I believe there should be some laws and restrictions however not a ban. Some believe all guns are bad and the only solution to end gun violence is to ban all guns. However, people have to realize that most gun crimes are committed by stolen or illegal fire arms. If somehow I could change the way most view guns, and to help end the argument on the ban of firearms, it would be one less thing Americans have to argue about.
