Citizens Should NOT Be Allowed To Carry A Gun

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.

To solve the problem, I believe that instead of trying to ban weapons to prevent more mass killings, the government should employ modest but more strict firearm restrictions that can be enforced. But also, they should encourage private entities to step up their own lines of defence. I believe that method would help reduce the amount of killings because after 9/11, we made airport security more strict and also enforced more restrictions on what passengers could bring on the plane, instead of just automatically trying to ban the use of

I AFFIRM the resolution that “In the United States, private ownership of handguns ought to be banned.”

In my opinion, this number is way to high for me even four people is too much for me. Understandably, America cannot stop all mass shootings, but if changing the laws could decrease the amount of deaths, we should do so. Majority of the guns are owned by the United States. In fact, the United States owns half of the guns in the world, which can be a bit of a concern, (“List of Gun Control Pros and Cons”). This just goes to show that we need to do something about the gun laws that we have today, but this could infringe on an individual’s rights. The Constitution states in Amendment II, “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,” (“The 2nd Amendment of the U.S.

Most of the history about this subject only goes back 70 years ago. Before that, no one knew what mass shootings were. These events were not normally committed during those times. This subject is a relatively new concept predominantly found in the U.S. In a recent study, it shows that we are the leading country for mass-shootings (Willingham). Following our country is the Philippines, with a difference of 72 shootings (Willingham). But it does not stop there. These events are rising with new mass shootings such as the Las Vegas Shooting, which is now the largest one in our country's history with over 50 deaths and over 500 injuries (Yan, et. al.). Even though these shootings are not near Thomasville, they still hit home. These circumstances could easily strike in our town with not time to plan, but to plan, but we could prevent them. Most of these events are mainly located in California,

The solutions suggested generally fall into 3 main categories: gun policy, media violence, and, lastly, mental health, which at some level can be considered to tie together every mass shooting incident committed, as no one could argue that mass shootings are the work of sound minds. The lowest hanging fruit is gun legislation. After every mass shooting incident this topic comes up without fail. One political entity pushes for more policies designed to restrict gun ownership in some way, and the other entity pushes back with arguments of “too soon,” and “slippery slopes” sliding towards eventual abolishment of the Second Amendment. Although no single law will ever eliminate mass shootings or gun violence entirely, a sound, unbiased mind not beholden to special interest monies would hopefully see that there are some real legislative moves that could be made to put a dent in deaths that

Gun Control has obviously gone out of control in the recent years. Look around, they are everywhere. Reducing the rate of Crime in the United States would make the country a better place to live. In the past and in the present, Mass Shootings have impacted America. Virginia Tech shooting killed 33 teachers and students (Bowman). In 1999, the

Shooting massacre has become a problem throughout our nation. These massacres have become deadly, extreme, and lethal. Since the shooting of Sandy Hook Elementary school in 2012 to the massacre of San Bernardino, California in 2015, debates on gun control have been heated and how the new laws haven’t taken effect to prevent these horrific tragedies. These are the topics the majority have asked about and it is starting to create a frustration to the people. How can we prevent these “massacres” from reoccurring?

The second amendment was written in 1791 and is a very different time era than the present 2000’s and as the united states changes so should the gun laws. Gun laws need to be more strict.

The only thing you can smell is gun powder and the silence in the room is deafening, you’re frozen in time as you see what used to be a fun and colorful place turn into the death site for many and the place of nightmares for others. A mass shooting is defined as “ an incident involving multiple victims of firearms-related violence.” Some think mass shootings can never be stopped, and they would be right. However, there are ways to help

Thirdly, the government should have stricter laws about assault weapons. According to “Gun rights proponents more politically active” shows that “56% of all adults surveyed approve of assault weapon bans and 53 % of all adults surveyed approve of high capacity magazine bans.” The assault weapon is term includes the semi-automatic firearms. The semi-automatic like AR-15 fire around 45 to 60 bullets per minute, and capacity magazine is the ammunition storage. The assault weapon doesn’t appear much in the mass shooting, but it usually results in more death, when it used. The government has banned the assault weapon from 1994 to 2004 was brought back in a debate about banning assault weapons. According to “why we should ban assault weapons” people

Our world is vulnerable to violence due to mass shootings and immature people getting a hold guns. Mass shootings can occur anywhere at any place and time due to how effortless it is to obtain any sort of firearm. My stance towards limiting future mass shootings would be to have a stricter approach towards firearms even if we have to revamp the 2nd Amendment. We should tighten the freedom of having firearms because of the ease of obtaining guns is making our country more vulnerable to threats and it will lead to less frequent shootings.

Many people die all the time from adults leaving handguns or any type of weapon out for others to politely take poshen of . Because anger and drug addiction can cause adults to use the guns on other people which will make them super dangerous, Also many people think that item is a toy but it is more than that it has that power to kill a person or hurt them severely. This is and would be a huge problem for our society, because adults can just shoot kids or just go on a shooting rampage. Adults can also use guns to threaten others that they’ll shoot if they don’t do something. People think adults should not be allowed to carry a handgun or any gun, People reasons for this is because adults aren’t as responsible as some say. Many aren’t in fact done growing their mental part of their brain till age 35, without

The last five year, mass shootings has become a norm in American culture, we still feel sad, arrange memorials for the (dead) and beg for an answer as to why it happened. This “norm” in American culture has raised the controversy over gun control, and gun violence. What is the answer to gun violence? Depending on who you ask the answer may vary, from ban all guns across the board, to give us more guns to prevent such tragedies from happening. In my opinion there is not a solid answer to gun violence in America, we can do our best to prevent a tragedy, but sometimes our best just isn’t enough; tragedies will still continue to happen.

First of all there have been too many terror attacks, school shootings, and mass shootings in modern society. Too many people have been killed. In 2016 study by the FBI the number of mass shootings in 2016 was 3, and 60 people were killed combined (qtd. in Willingham). A really bad mass shooting was the Orlando night club shooting. In a report with Sky News the shooters father Seddique Mateen stated “ That club should have had good security.” This shows that the security needed to be stronger and if they did catch him before his act 49 people would not be dead. This problem needs to stop.
