Banning Guns Are Potentially Dangerous

We need to own guns for self-defense or else the deaths of people will increase. Also, there are several recreational activities which require guns to be used. Sporting clays, target shooting, bowling pin shooting, and trap are four commonly activities which require firearms to be utilized. Banning guns would just spoil somebody’s hobby, which could be those recreations. A final reason is that crime is reduced according to a few reports. One in 1998 stated that the percent numbers for crimes decreased to low numbers. Another one talks about a commissioner not stating gun control for the solution to reduce crime. These three reasons eliminate the point of banning

Gun violence kills 33,000 Americans and injures over 80,000 people per year. It is ridiculous how much damage guns have brought to not only us, but the world itself. From Columbine, to Sandy Hook, to the movie theatre to the Oregon Community College shooting, it has just been ridiculous. This is all because we in America believe it is okay for people to carry guns and for them to be used if “needed”. If they were always banned to begin with, we would never have had this problem. The private ownership of handguns should be banned in the United States. Handguns have been proved to be dangerous to society in recent events, they are the deadliest weapon in America, and lastly, guns cost Americans hundreds of extra dollars that could be avoided if they were banned.

Gun control would only make it easier for criminals to commit crimes. Gun ownership reduces the amount of crime. States with concealed carry regulations have a higher rate of crime. States with stricter concealed carry have higher rates of crime because criminals can commit crime without worry of being stopped by gun owners. If guns are banned, criminals would be the only ones with guns. Citizens that follow the laws would still follow the laws, whereas criminals would still break the law. Gun Ownership reduces crime, not gun control.

Guns have been used throughout history for war, hunting, and protection. Since then, the killing capacity and speed of guns has improved dramatically. Guns have been a part of American culture from its roots. However, as times have changed and guns are no longer a necessity, gun control has become increasingly urgent to prevent unnecessary crime and killings. Guns should be banned for everyone but the law enforcement and military. Guns should be banned to prevent mass shootings and lower crime rates, while being supported by history and the constitution.

The banning of firearms in America is an illegal act, and degrades the values this country was founded on. They not only play a vital role in many people's lives, but are useful tools, fun to use, and can protect people from harm. Our founding fathers wanted us to have them to protect ourselves from the government, and would be disgusted at our government's current abuse, and overall disregard of the constitution of the United States. A lot of people argue that guns kill people; this is untrue. Guns in the hands of a negligent person have potential to kill people, just as anything else.

Would you rather have people own a gun, especially your neighbors? Firearms are tools intended for harm against others. However, it is also common for people to misuse firearms for their own purpose. People at war use guns to harm others, totaling in millions of death due to guns. Additionally, most crimes in the world involve the use of guns. There are even arms dealers out there illegally selling weapons to the wrong people. Banning specific weapons in general won’t change the fact that people can still kill others with anything. Banning guns in general wouldn't matter to criminals. Weapons such as shotguns, assault rifles, and sniper rifles are still possible to illegally possess. They would still have access to these weapons and its

Unfortunately, many people possess guns would should not posses one. However I do not see it feasible to strengthen guns laws. I believe that there should be stronger penalties for people who are caught with a gun illegally and stronger penalties for people who are or threaten violence with a gun. This would make people think twice about smuggling a gun, or carry them when they are not supposed to. This might also influence Congress to pass a law for a stronger background check on people purchasing a gun, which would satisfy both sides of this argument. A stronger penalty for gun offenders might cause the amount of violence without a gun to rise a

Gun violence in the United States is higher than ever, and criminals with guns will “…kill as many as 1000 people each day” (Alpers&Wilson). Taking this into perspective, it is only right to fight fire with fire or, in this case, use a gun to protect yourself and those around you. Gun control does not only decrease the ability for protection, it also decreases our rights as U.S citizens. The constitution clearly states that we are given the right to bear arms, meaning we may carry fire arms. Even if we have stricter laws for guns, it will not stop killers from shooting innocent people. These men and women causing damage to the lives of numerous individuals do not care if there is a law banning guns, because all they truly want to do is

Every day in America 32 people are killed by guns whether it’s murder, suicide, or an accidental shooting. And American people have been scared for so long after hearing every month of another mass shooting somewhere. Their first thought, “ban the guns, they kill people.” Guns have never taken the life of an individual and it will not solve our problems of mass shootings by banning guns, it will only make law-abiding citizens unprotected in a dangerous society.

To many people throughout the nation, guns are seen as violent weapons that should not be obtainable to the public. This viewpoint is powered by current events that occur involving the use of one or more firearms. Although these events are terrifying, banning

​Should guns be illegal? Will that solve all the shootings or even reduce them? Doubtful, it may actually increase the shootings and robberies. Gun is what keep most people in their home safe and feel safe. If you took guns away from the people who actually use them correctly you would just be making it easier for the ones who use them illegally. I do believe we need better control on the illegal guns, as it seems they’re too easy to get now. We should be focusing on how to stop illegal guns coming here rather than focusing on taking them away from the people who acquire them legally.

All of the recent school shootings have been pushing the ideas of harsher and more detailed gun control. I believe that taking guns away or restricting the them will not stop anything. The United States has 88.8 guns per 100 people, or about 270,000,000 guns registered already in the United States (“ Gun Control Laws”). Also twenty two percent of Americans own one or more guns (“ Gun Control Laws”). In the United States there is somewhere around 5,000,000 AR style rifles already in circulation (Fallows). Restricting them won’t do anything with that many already in circulation. People that want stricter gun laws aren’t thinking about how monsters guns are already on the streets that are illegal. There are million of undocumented guns in the United States that are used for criminal acts

Banning the right to own a gun violates the second amendment which states that all people have equal the right to bear arms. Our founding fathers put that in writing to give the American people a sense of security in their own homes. The massive rise in the number of concealed weapons carriers in the U.S. is widely viewed by gun rights advocates as their natural expression and extension of the Second Amendment, as well as a necessity for survival in an ever growing troubled nation. In today’s American society, there are gangs, extremely violent people, drug addicts, and many more people that committing crimes for their own personal gain. We need to be able to protect ourselves against whatever aggression may come our way and taking away our

The main problem with guns and weapons now a day is that they are used for murders and illegal uses. Roughly 16,272 murders were committed in the United States during 2008. Of these, about 10,886 or 67% were committed with firearms. Based on survey data from a 2000 study published in the Journal of Quantitative Criminology, U.S. civilians use guns to defend themselves and others from crime at least 989,883 times per year. But that is still extremely less than the number of those who lose their lives because of someone who uses guns incorrectly. Guns are not all entirely bad to the public, they should not be completely banished or not provided to the people, and instead they should be enforced more strictly to avoid a great number of deaths.

Gun ownership should be banned to reduce the 100,000 deaths of americans that are shot every year in the United States. Throughout America’s history, we have been known as the extremely gun violent country unfit to protect our citizens from danger. The television news reports continue to display the violent crimes and school shootings that has harmed innocent people especially children. When the government allows guns to be legal in the United States, they are giving people the responsibility to use this weapon for self defense purposes and recreational sport such as hunting. However, gun owners have been unable to handle this responsibility
