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

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.

Mary Read was only 19 years old on the last day of her life. An aspiring elementary school teacher, Mary always had a smile on her face. She baked cookies, cakes, and cupcakes for her friends and family. Mary was the oldest of five children, yet she treated everyone she met as a sister or brother. A beloved freshman at Virginia Tech was to be only the beginning for such a beautiful soul, but instead was an end. On April 16, 2007 an undeserving wretched individual took the life of Mary Read along with 31 others. By the means of a gun, she was gone.
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
In the year 2016 alone, there have been 145 mass shootings around the United States, while there have been only 173 days in the years so far. In order to prevent these atrocities from occurring so frequently gun ownership should be regulated by both the federal and state governments through a background check for all sales of firearms. The National Instant Criminal Background Check System has prevented more than two million convicted felons and other prohibited purchasers from buying guns. The law also has a deterrent effect since the prohibited purchasers are less likely to try to buy guns when they know comprehensive background check requirements are in place. However, currently the federal law requires criminal background checks only for guns sold through licensed firearm dealers, which counts for only sixty percent of the total gun sales. The U.S. Congress needs to regulate the obtainment of guns with a background check for all sales of firearms in order to protect the lives of citizens in this country while not violating the Second Amendment and the rights of the state.
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.
After the continuing domestic and international acts of gun violence, either as hate crimes, revenge, or terrorist acts, the ongoing battle of gun control in our country continues to be heated and emotional.

The Gun Control issue has sparked major controversy in America today. People who support gun control feel that guns are the reason for the soaring crime rate in our country. I disagree with the supporters of gun control.

The argument of gun control has become a debate of society. There is a lot of emotional rhetoric behind this debate.

Different people have different opinions on the topic of bearing weapons. Some people believe that owning of weapons such as guns is good because it will help them against criminals while others feel that they should be banned. However, in June 2008, in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller, the United States Supreme Court ruled that people were allowed to keep guns for self-defense (Neily III, 2010). This was one of the most important rulings on gun rights since the adoption of Second Amendment in 1791 on Bill of Rights. The second Amendment of United States Constitution states that in a Free State, peoples’ right to bear and keep arms shall not be infringed. There have been many cases when the court has been engaged in interpreting the
