Essay On I Have The Right To Bear Arms

The right to bear arms is your second amendment right, this gives opportunities for mentally insane people to hold weapons and shoot without discretion. I see that the second amendment was placed by our forefathers as a means to protect ourselves, yet most of the people with weapons want to fire it at a gun range, so why doesn't the government keep these guns in safe location such as gun ranges and charge people to shoot with these guns. Nowadays these weapons given through our rights have caused many mass shootings even recently the tragedy that took place in Las Vegas where a male shot killed and injured hundreds of people through the use of his multiple weapons in his hotel room on the 32nd floor. This only the most recent one, there have been many more, there is no limit to what these weapons can kill, from non-human animals to human children to adults. One a weapon is shot at a person they will either die or have a serious injury, if weapon is shot at the wrong place it can even paralyze a person limiting their movements later on in their lives. Some states have placed limits and have somewhat taken initiative to stop these lunatics from getting weapons by lengthening the background test, making taking the background tesst hard and only choosing those who are a good fit to be able to carry a weapon that can take someone's life away in the the matter of seconds.

With the topic of gun control comes a widely split crowd. There are those that believe that gun control is necessary for decreasing crime and making a nation a safer place to live. And on the other end of the spectrum, they are those that speak of how anti-gun control is what would make our nation a safer place to live. After all, ?Would a person be as likely to break into another family's home knowing that the family has means of personal protection?? (Warren 308). ?Most everyone will agree that felons, addicts, morons, juveniles, alcoholics, the mentally incompetent, and others in whose hands even an ice pick or a baseball bat becomes a deadly weapon, should be denied a gun.? (Selib 202) However, what about those individuals that are

The right to bear arms is a wonderful thing. The law is great for multiple reasons and should not be taken away by Obama. Reason one for the right to bear arms is to be used as self defense in case of an attack by another person. Reason two for the right to bear arms helps citizens to save their own life and live a safe life. Reason three, in order to get a gun the person must go under a background check. Reason four, people are excluded if they have a criminal act against someone. Reason five, this law does not carelessly let a person own a firearm.

United States is a country that has problems with gun control, and this issue has many debates between whether or not people should be allowed to carry a gun on them. This free county not only for speech and religion, but also allows people to have the right to bear arms. The Second Amendment of the United States was written by our Founding Fathers,“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” (Government). The main purpose of the Second Amendment when our Founding Fathers wrote this amendment was to help the American citizens to defend themselves from the government at that time, and other countries from invading their properties. However,

How about hunter where would we be without them? Can you imagine not being able to go

     Gun control is a very controversial issue among society at present. Many feel guns are the cause of a great amount of crime. This has been an especially popular topic recently in lieu of the shooting at Columbine and other high schools across the country. Are these crimes reason to take away our freedom to bear arms? I do not believe so. The average person uses guns mainly as a means of protection. If limitations are placed on guns, they will only stop the average American from obtaining a gun. The real criminals out there will still be able to obtain guns through the black market. Every American should have the right to protect them self.

Only this month, 59 were killed and over 500 people were injured during a country music concert in Vegas in what is now known as the deadliest mass shooting in American history. Last year, 49 were killed and 58 were injured in a gay nightclub in Florida. In 2012, a mass shooting in Sandy Hook Elementary School took 27 lives, 20 of them being first graders. The list of these unthinkable and stomach-churning acts is quickly turning endless, forcing us to rethink why we truly have the right to bear arms. Many defend the second amendment by claiming we need this right for self defense, which is the most wretched part.When we look at what we have lost compared to what we have earned in this fight to keep the right to bear arms, this privilege does not seem worth the sacrifice of so many lives. In today’s world, we do not defense through guns but from them. Our policymakers keep trying to reach a compromise by putting in place certain regulations. “Some states require would-be gun owners to fulfill a firearms safety course in order to obtain their license.” “Such training courses, however, even when not required, are very advisable for the would-be gun owner, as they ensure that he or she has all the necessary information on liability issues, on safety, and even on care and maintenance of the gun” ( How to Get a Gun License 1). This lack of attention illustrates that despite the multiple tragedies that have taken place in our nation, some states do not even require a simple safety course that ensures the safety of our people. Furthermore, it is required that one must pass a background check. The questions asked on the test are the following:

Throughout the years there has been an ongoing debate over the Second Amendment and how it should be interpreted. The issue that is being debated is whether our government has the right to regulate guns. The answer of who has which rights lies within how one interprets the Second Amendment. With this being the case, one must also think about what circumstances the Framers were under when this Amendment was written. There are two major sides to this debate, one being the collective side, which feels that the right was given for collective purposes only. This side is in favor of having stricter gun control laws, as they feel that by having stricter laws the number of crimes that are being

The Second Amendment to the Constitution gave United States citizens the right to bear arms. Although, the Second Amendment stated: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms. However, the framers could not foresee the type of violence we have in our cities today. Innocent citizens have and are being brutally killed due to this amendment. Stricter gun control laws must be enacted to receive these types of weapons.

The right to own a fire arm is a currently a controversial topic in the United States, with many pros and cons to either side. However, it is a constitutional right that the Founding Fathers gave the citizens for a myriad of reasons. By taking away this right from the people, it is a violation of their constitutional rights and limits their freedoms, which goes against everything our country is founded on. One reason why citizens should be allowed to bear arms is that owning a fire arm gives owners protection in the event that an individual intends to do harm. Another reason, is that farmers need guns for their way of life. Lastly, having a gun enables you to defend the country in the event that we are invaded.

Since I was a little girl, I remember hunting season; Dad and Katlyn, my sister, would come home to say they killed a deer. Even though I did not enjoy hunting, I still see how much they love to go; hunting great bonding time for them. My dad taught my sister and me how important gun safety is. He has shown us how to carry a gun properly, never to aim it at anyone, never put our finger on the trigger until ready to shoot, and always leave the safety button on until ready to shoot as well. In my house guns are always hidden or locked up in a safe, only Dad knows the combination, so no intruder can get to them. Guns are a very serious item. I was raised to understand guns are not something to joke around about; if they are in the hands

The right to keep and bear arms was considered a fundamental, individual right in the original 13 colonies from the pre-Revolutionary period through the ratification of the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution in 1791. The Amendment 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. The right to keep and bear arms has been a topic of extreme controversy in this century and can be argued equally from both sides. The first side says that it is our constitutional right to keep and bear arms. On the flip side, it is too dangerous and would increase the number of violent crimes. No matter which side is

Deciding what college to choose makes this year monumental in my life, but hopefully not as controversial as the March 1789 in our United States of America. The second amendment of The Bill of Rights is the “right to bear arms”, and was passed by Congress in March 1789. After recent tragic events in our country the controversy surrounding the Second Amendment is just as debatable as ever. It reminds me of a Rahm Emanuel quote I learned in Government class, “You never let a serious crisis go to waste.” But with popular conversations, I believe that we should consider the fact that our founding fathers put this in The Bill of Rights for a reason. They should consider that when creating The Bill of Rights they believed that this amendment was

The second amendment stated that American citizens had the right to bear arms. Congress passed this amendment on September 25, 1789. Congress ratified this amendment on December 15, 1791.

Our Country has met terms with the unfortunate reality of today’s wicked world. Brutality and inhumanity coincide with day to day lives of the innocent. Americans are constantly bombarded with the ever-growing drawback of violence. Lets face it, our very own streets we stroll along pass have now become a battleground. We cannot ignore this truth and we cannot turn a blind eye towards the damage these criminals are putting forth on our society. We must respond in a way that puts an end to these horrors, however, the effort by some ill-judged individuals to terminate the legal and rightfully given ownership of firearms does not tackle the real problem at hand, whatsoever. In fact, it simply disarms the law-abiding civilians who are in need of this structure of self defense the most. When approaching the issue of gun control this backward process is so important to understand. It should be greatly emphasized how these laws rip away one by one the protection of the people by demobilizing those who are obedient and honorable. With that being said, such gun bans should not be tolerated because these regulations are ineffective in the sense that they do not solve the real problem, which is the person directly behind the gun, and because these actions outwardly bashes the most fundamental right given to you, which is the right to defend your life.
