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.

Jill Silos-Rooney’s current professional associations include Bethel Woods Center for the Arts., MassBay Community College, and Oxford University Press. She begins her article, “The Top 3 Liberal Arguments for Gun Control”, with an anecdote about a nine-year-old girl who accidentally killed her gun instructor with an Uzi and proceeds to list off two counterarguments and rebuttals and three assertions for gun control in her Thought Co. article, covering what she believes the best arguments for said gun control are. Her strongest pieces of evidence that support her central claim that “America Needs More Gun Control” (page 1) are “Australia, which has a similar frontier history to that of the United

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

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.

The topic of gun control in the United States is not debated enough. Every time a headline reads about an incident that happened where guns were involved, powerful politicians and everyday citizens alike turn the other way and choose to be ignorant instead of being upset about these awful current events. Clearly, with so many occurrences and deaths that are caused by gunfire, the United States needs reformation about its current gun control policies, essentially, the United States needs more gun control. It need gun control because several United States citizens take the Second Amendment too literally, and the amount of gun-related crimes, such as mass shootings, suicides, and homicides is too high.

An un-armed population will have a difficult time protecting itself from criminals that clearly do not care about laws and would most likely be more successful in committing a crime if their intended victims are incapable of defending themselves. While there are numerous reasons, including social, economic and mental health, as to why criminals commit crimes, having access to guns is not one of them. The 2nd Amendment of the Constitution 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. amend. II). Protecting the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution is vital because limiting or outright denying law-abiding citizens the ability to possess firearms, which are nothing more than a tool, will cause more problems, such as higher crime rates, than it would solve.

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

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

Nowadays streets are scary to walk alone at night. Crime rates have increased currently and people are nervous to leave their own homes at night. Sadly, unlike cartoons, there is no hero that is going to swoop in and save the day. Imagine you were sitting in your parked car next to dark streets, lit up only by a dim lamp-pole. You see a man walking slowly with his head down and he starts walking towards your car. He taps on the window. In this moment, wouldn’t you want to be able to protect yourself? You don’t know what this man is capable of or what his intent is. When you roll down your window to ask what he wants, he pulls out a gun. If you were weaponless, there would be a high possibility that you would not survive. Imagine this instead. As he pulls out his gun

“The gun ownership rates in those more rural parts of the country are about 111 percent higher than the gun ownership rates in the urban areas that have the highest murder rates.” How can something intend to create order in society actually create chaos? Society is the aggregate of people living together in a more or less ordered community. Laws are provided for our own good to use as guidelines when making critical decisions and to prove justice accordingly. Unlike most legislature, these laws are made stringently to prevent or protect any signs of precariousness not protected by law enforcement. Gun laws are very important to the extent that they save, and prevent the cadaverous body. However, the overproduction of laws too soon can cause

Gun control is a serious topic that pops up in the news time and time again. One argument that is constantly made is, “If we were to ban semi-automatic rifles, we would then begin banning shotguns, then pistols, then knives.” This argument is deductive because it forms a claim that A leads to B, B leads to C, and so on. The premises of this argument is that if semi-automatic we banned. This is bad because it spawns a situation that is purely hypothetical. It makes the claim that something will occur if something that hasn’t happened already is in place. It’s a what if situation where it isn’t and can’t be proven until is occurs. Giving the opposition no way to argue against because they can’t prove that it won’t happen, but at the same time

“Guns, whether Remingtons or Glocks./ Come on man it ain't like I'm a slingin' 'em on the block./ I'm gonna tell you once and listen son./ As long as I'm alive and breathing,/ You won't take my guns./” (“Guns” by Justin Moore). This song shows how people express their rights to bear arms. It also creates a clear picture of how important Guns are to the American people. Some people believe it is unconstitutional for us to have them and is pointless. Some want some restrictions because of the shootings. As many of us know it our constitutional right and is used for a self defense mechanism against criminals when the police cannot respond fast enough.

In the aspect of the business world and day to day life there are many U.S. civilians who have made the choice to own firearms for self defense. Those who oppose gun ownership believe that these gun owners are a threat to themselves and others because they have exposure to firearms, so is this the case? Statistically I would say no. Women can be subject to sexual abuse which is awful, and as a general whole, men tend to be stronger and able to over power a women and take advantage of them. It would seem reasonable for women to have a system to provide themselves with a mechanical advantage over these men. Well according to Kleck and Gertz a group of profesores who study firearm violence at Florida State University as many as 200,000 women use
