Arguments Against Gun Control

Countless opinions have been broadcasted on national news media regarding what society ought to do about gun control. This controversial topic sparks many heated debates with people of either position reluctant to compromise. Gun supporters claim that the proposed gun laws infringe on their constitutional right to bear arms. Conversely, others believe that restricted gun access would cause gun violence to decrease. Regardless of what side one stands on, with the increase in gun violence, it is safe to say that something must be done.

Every year 30,000 americans die from guns while others have the privilege to end up with a disability rather than dieing. The men and women who are diagnosed with a mental illness and obtain guns often commit suicide and crimes such as mass shootings, and murders. Because healthcare providers don't report the mental illness’ of many people to the FBI these people are able to pass a background check when they attempt to purchase a gun. Although the second amendment allows people the right to bear arms, it has become easy for the mentally ill to acquire guns and gun control should be strengthened for this very reason.

The argument on firearm regulation has been a heated discussion for many years. On one side of the debate, we have people in favor placing restrictions on guns, while, on the opposite end of the spectrum, we have people fighting the regulation of guns. People in favor gun restrictions believe gun control can reduce crime ,while, the people against gun control believe having the right to bear arms is an effective crime deterrent. I believe that every law abiding citizen should be able to carry a gun and defend themselves against people who intend to harm them.Gun control laws are simply

Gun control laws should regulate production, distribution, ownership and use of firearms by civilians. Gun control laws are not intended to dispossess law abiding citizens of licensed firearms but to intervene on reckless use of firearms that cause harm to the public. Gun control should also make it difficult for criminals to access firearms. Armed civilians have in many instances deterred acts of crime from being instigated by scaring away criminals. Nonetheless, gun laws can only be described as immensely lax. This essay seeks to argue for the enactment of strict gun control laws by highlighting the dangers posed by guns in the hands of members of the public.

For example, in Sandy Hook Elementary School (New York). 20 year-old Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 children and 6 adult staff members after killing his mother at their Newtown home. Base on a comprehensive examination of Adam Lanza, which found out he was completely untreated for his metal illness in the years before the shooting for psychiatric and physical ailments such as anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder. His mother was mentally healthy and stable when she purchases the gun. But mostly importantly, Family should also be examined for any mental disorders before purchasing firearms.

The movement has called for two changes to the current gun law: universal background checks for buyers and ban on the sale of assault-type firearms and large-capacity ammunitions (Szekely, 2018). The system of background checks is meant to ensure that all gun owners have the right capacity to handle firearms. Past incidences have shown that the system was ineffective because the state governments did not submit relevant information to the central database. For example, in one of the recent shooting incidences, the shooter had a known history of mental problems but had been able to purchase an assault rifle and high capacity ammunition. The changes in the background system would make it easier for gun dealers to identify people who are not qualified to own a gun. The restrictions on the sale of assault weapons and ammunition are crucial steps in reducing the number of deaths and injuries in case of a shooting incident. The shooter would not be able to inflict a lot of harm because of inefficiencies of the weapon at disposal.

The average response time of a 911 call is 10 minutes. The response time of a .357 magnum is 1400 feet per second. The second amendment of the United States Constitution states, “the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed upon.” That right is now more than ever in jeopardy and we must continue to fight for it. Gun Control does not solve our nations problem of violence.

Firearms are involved in the deaths of more than 30,000 people in the U.S this year. The “Issue Overview…” by bloomberg, has a perspective of a writer on the gun issue, and “Famous Speech” by Emma Gonzalez, has an inside look on the issue of guns because she was a victim of school shooting. The article “Famous Speech…” wants to get the word out that the government should take care of the gun control issue. Then, the article “Issue Overview…”, wants to discuss the problems with gun control. There goal for both is to tell one how horrible guns can be in general. The goal for “Famous Speech...”, is to spread the word about the gun issue from a student from the Florida shooting. Then, the goal for “Issue Overview…”, is to tell one what the situation

First and foremost, the United States needs to revise and enforce the process for gun purchases in all states in order to filter out mentally ill and unstable people. America’s current federal and state gun laws are weak and have many loopholes. These weak laws and loopholes have allowed thousands of prohibited buyers to legally purchase firearms over the past decade. For example, many gun purchases from private sellers are not subject to checking identification, there’s no background check, and no records are kept (Cooper).

“Any society that will give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both ”. This Benjamin Franklin quote is saying that we should not give up a constitutional right for security that won’t even come, and could be directed towards gun control. The circumstances and end results of the demonstration are the subject in this paper.

In the United States, gun control should not be supported. Gun control is becoming a serious and dangerous threat to many societies around the country. Gun control is becoming abusive and outrageous for the United States. Criminals are using it for their own way of taking out their anger and causing people to not feel safe. Gun control laws should be more strict, restrictions on all weapons, also restrictions of being able to maintain a license, meaning background check and being able to provide a certified license to carry a weapon. Lives of the people in the United States have to become more secure and safer. That is the number one goal for the United States at the moment, which is to make everyone's life safer. Gun control laws and restrictions should be enforced more often. These laws and

When our fore fathers first came to this land, they were oppressed by their rulers. These wise men decided to stage a revolt against their government and start a new one, with a set of rules, laws and rights. They did not stage this massive revolt by negotiation, but with bloodshed on both sides. When the revolt was over, they then decided to make a bill stating the basic rights that every man in the country could have. One of those being the right to keep and bear arms in order to protect their families, gather food, and preserve their rights from all threats.

Some people are petrified of guns because they’ve been habituated to believe they are possessed of evil, and can only do evil. Choosing life by taking another’s may seem like a conflict or insincerity to the morally confused, but that is frequently the choice we are given in the endless crash of good and evil. We must meet evil with an overwhelming show of righteous force. The sociopathic actions are accomplish by people who reproduce the culture of devaluation which tolerance has brought us. The very first step is acknowledging that the root cause of all this killing is Terrorism, not easy access to guns, but the racist, powerful, supremacist ideology of Islam. The number of shooting death has risen proportionately in the past years. It is not a proper standard to

As an opponent of gun control I feel like taking away guns from civilians to try and ease the mind of the rest of the population won’t work because disarming a law-abiding citizen won’t disarm the criminal waiting for a chance to hurt, rob, or kill someone because they know they can’t protect themselves because their weapons were taken away. Gun laws don’t need to be changed to stop murders and theft to effectively fix the way we look at guns we as people need to change our attitude towards each other as humans because we promote violence and death in so many ways, we see violence in movies, TV shows. In some states we promote and legalized assisted suicide, as Kentucky Governor talked about his view on gun-control he said “you can’t regulate evil” as a response to the school shooting that happened in Kentucky which was days before the school shooting in Parkland, during a talk with news reporters on the subject he briefly talked about how guns are not the issue, he said we as a culture need to change the way we look at each other as people and reshape the way we look at death and violence in different ways and try to and change how much people view death whether it is on a movie, TV show, a video game , or something we see on social media every day because we promote violence that when a fight or any sort of violent act happens people would rather pull out their phone and record than call the police and try to interfere with the activity that’s going

Crime and victim of crimes are and everyday news headline in the United States. What is never far from these headlines is the high levels of these crimes were committed with a gun. The next ensuing headlines are the topic of gun control. Many will argue that there are too many guns in America. Advocates of gun control subscribe to their argument that guns are easily assessable that there is a correlation between the number of gun crimes and the availability of guns. Gun right advocates will point out that the high numbers of gun related crimes are due to the size of the population. A continued argument is the majority of crimes committed with a gun were obtained illegally. Gun control will not stop crimes committed with guns, it prevent
