Arguments Against Gun Control

For many years there have been arguments over gun control, and if there needs to be more regulations or even ban them. I do not think that banning firearms or adding more regulations would help; if anything it would make things worse.

One early morning, April 16, 2007, on the Virginia Polytechnic Institute campus, thirty-two teachers and students were slaughtered by a student named Seung Hui Cho. This was only the beginning of many more of tragic shootings caused by the possession of firearms. On the twenty-sixth of February 2012, a 17 year old boy, by the name of Treyvon Benjamin Martin, was murdered by the hands of George Zimmerman. More recently a 21 year old male, Dylann Roof, opened fire on a church in Charleston, South Carolina. Nine catastrophic deaths occurred on the account of Roof. In recent discussions of gun control, a controversial issue has been whether to increase the availability of guns so that people can protect themselves, or to make them extremely hard to obtain. On the one hand, some argue that the control of guns is considered to be the infringing on

What death-causing objects should we eliminate from our society? According to Webster’s Dictionary, Gun Control is the ability to manage a firearm. Firearms can be effectively disguised, so they are the weapons for individuals who decide to utilize them for self-protection. Tragically, they’re likewise the weapons for lawbreakers. Firearms are simple for culprits to take, firearms can be accessible on the underground market; this settles attraction for murders. Most of law violations are submitted with the utilization of a firearm; this is a genuine issue in America today. Most would say that something must be carried out; nobody appears to have the answer as of right now. Some weapon control supporters accept that totally banning handguns

The issue of gun control is a sensitive topic for many Americans including advocates for the protection of the civil liberty to maintain and possess firearms and proponents of legislation to encourage necessary government intervention in the manufacturing, sales, and possession of guns and firearms. While pro-gun advocate continue to argue for the adherence and protection of the Constitution’s second amendment, gun control proponents stress the importance of the government’s responsibility to ensure domestic

Imagine a typical day in a small suburban town in southwestern Virginia. It’s around 9:00 am, and you are in your French class. Then, all of a sudden, you hear banging noises coming from outside your classroom. This is the true story of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University shooting in April 2007 as told by Colin Goddard. Goddard was shot four times by the gunman: three bullets to the hip and one bullet to the shoulder. He still carries three bullets with him today and has a titanium rod in his body. The shooter had a history of mental illnesses and should not have qualified to purchase firearms. However, due to ineffective and inefficient gun control laws, the shooter was still able to purchase weapons. The United States

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.

There has been an ongoing debate on whether gun control laws should be passed or banished. Citizens throughout America have multiple different reasoning behind the laws of gun control, or no gun control. I personally do not have an opinion on this matter, and was very intrigued when reading about the different point of views. There were two completely different articles I read, one was opposing gun control and the other was pro gun control. E.J. Dionne Jr.’s article “How America can free it’s self from guns” published by The Washington Post was pro gun control, he expresses what actions should occur to prevent the number of suicides, homicides, and accidental deaths from occurring. E.J. Dionne Jr. gives lots of real life situations that have

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

Gun violence, especially that as caused by handguns, is a major problem in America. It affects millions of people annually, and the effects it has are irreversible. However, this reality does not constitute for a complete ban on the private ownership of handguns. A ban on the private ownership of handguns should not be enacted on the grounds that the United States government ought to preserve democratic legitimacy and constitutionalism, and a ban is not feasible or just in America’s political climate.

A highly debatable topic and serious topic that has been going on for the past couple years or so is gun control. It’s such a wide spread grouping topic some think that we should have it, others say different. Some say we shouldn’t have guns at all. I’m here to tell you that we should have guns and very minimal gun control because, the Second Amendment states that it is our right, it is a key factor in self defence, and finally taking guns away won’t solve anything.

    “The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of it’s own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, it can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.” (Jeff Cooper, Art of the Rifle) Placing restrictions on guns is causing more violence in the United States. Americans purchase these weapons as protection for themselves and their families. Gun control will not prevent hate crimes or terrorist attacks. With that being said, how are these terrorist being equipped with such powerful weapons when they enter the states? How easy is it to obtain any firearm in the United

Actually, guns should be controlled because of mass shooting. Some people might forgets what happened in some cities in the United States related to weapons. A recent event is the tragedy when a man killed nine people during a prayer meeting in the African American church in Charleston. He committed the deadliest attack on a place of worship in the United States in 24 years (Horwitz, du Lac, Bever and Costa, 2015). Furthermore, in Connecticut, there was a sad tragedy when a guy shot 20 children and other people at Sandy Hook Elementary school. Before he committed this horrible atrocity, he killed his mother who had firearms in her home. That illustrate having a guns at home is harmful even just for hunting (Stoller, 2013).

There have been long debates about gun control over the years. Some state that these laws are beneficial because they restrict arm possession. In this way, the crime rate will decrease, there will be less suicides cases and fewer accidental injuries. The public shootings from the US that happened in the last past years have encouraged these voices to speak even louder and to ask for more aggressive laws.

Imagine a world where you wake up with an armed robber in your house with a gun already nearby. Would you have a good feeling knowing you can protect yourself right? Now imagine a world where you wake up with an armed robber in your house and you have no weapon to use for self-defense. What would you feel then?

Imagine a world where the government had complete control over every word a person says, and every move they make. If someone speaks out in anyway, they are imprisioned or executed. This isn’t that hard to imagine, as it has has happened over and over in history, and today in many countries. The problem is that the countries that this happens to, are countries that don’t have a guaranteed right for the people to protect themselves from the government. America wanted to set themselves apart. When the US officially pardoned from England, we drafted a bill of rights. The rights on there were rights that were not previously allowed to them by the oppressive country they escaped from. The only right that people seem to fight is the second amendment.
