Gun Control

Every year, across the United States, gun control has become an issue and weapons cross the hands of society members. The police department, SWAT teams, the military, and hunters have guns put in their hands due to their job purpose. All these people were perfectly trained to utilize guns before getting hired and they properly use them to save lives. In contrast, there are gangs and other criminals the use weapons of violence and end up spending time in prison. People think these days that banning guns would stop crimes, but, however, this claim is false. Firearms aren’t only used for protection, but also for recreation purposes. All Americans should be required to bear arms due to protect against crime, recreational activities, and against

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

We have +400% more shootings than the next country over the last 50 years and it seems to have no decline in sight. There is a saying that says, “If it’s not broken don't fix it.” However, our system is currently extremely flawed. A shooting happens, we mourn the dead for a week, or even a day, the gun debate comes up, and we move on with our lives. The common trend is to take the guns away from people, and to make it harder to own a firearm. When it comes down to it, the laws do not matter to these shooters. You want to make it harder to purchase a firearm with more background checks and more hoops to jump through? Who says they buy the guns legally? You put up a sign that says gun free zone? Well if there is a sign saying so then of course they won't bring one in do do harm right? There are three types of people in this world. The wolves, the sheep, and the sheepdogs. The wolves will alway look for blood, to prey on the others with their teeth and tenacity. The solution is to not have less sheepdogs in hopes the wolves will feel bad for the unprotected sheep, but instead will continue to prey on the weak. More sheepdogs equals less likely of a wolf attack, and that is a visualization that we can all live

In the United States of America, we as citizens have the right to bear arms, provided to us by the second amendment to the U.S. constitution, and are part of the United States Bill of Rights. Most American’s still believe that it is our right to bear arms, while a growing number of Americans believe that there should be better gun control regarding this matter. A rising trend has begun on Capitol Hill and all around the United States, which is to rally for better gun control. Although many tragedies have occurred due to improper gun control, many more have been obviated due to the courage of lawful gun carriers. Do we, as a prosperous nation, give up

. The United State has passed some laws concerning the ownership and use of gun, and more legislation is being considered. Most of this legislation retrain, to an extent, the rights of the people to own or use gun. Some of these constraint may be necessary, but presently some legislation is taking it too far. The community gain from the use guns in the hands of reasonable or responsible citizens. An attempt to stop the use or take away gun use from this community might not do well. As individuals in such community fight for the protection of its people.

The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that gun for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. When it comes to protecting freedom, Americans, including those on the Supreme Court, recognize that personal liberties must often be modified for the safety and protection of others. Yet today’s gun rights advocates constantly cite the Second Amendment of the Constitution, the right to bear arms, when threatened by attempts to limit, but not eliminate, modern-day weapons. Piggybacking on this idea is our right to free speech; it is frequently regulated through obscenity and decency laws. Slander,

People were quick to jump in the fact that it was easy for the shooter because he is the only person with gun and nobody could stop him inside the club. Debates were flying from the right that this is why there should not be any strict laws on guns. On November 5, 2017 in Sutherland Springs, Texas, a lone shooter entered into First Baptist Church and killed twenty-six while injuring twenty people. The shooter was able to carry out his mission with no disturbance and fled the scene but met his waterloo when another person with a gun chased him with his car while the shooter was fleeing They shot at each other while the other person was able to target the shooter thus injuring him before the shooter killed himself. People argued that it was because of the person that had gun that was all to stop him from killing more people before running away with his car.

Gun Control has been an issue that has been brought to the public’s eyes in recent years. This main issue has been going on for many years, for example when John F. Kennedy was assassinated; it raised public awareness to the lack of control on sales and also possession of guns in America. Until 1968 guns were available over the counter in stores and through mail catalogs to just about any adult in America. This was an example of how loosely guns were regulated which bring us back to the issue of guns. The constitution tells us in the second amendment that we, as American Citizens, have the right to bear arms. But the government is trying to change that by regulating everything to do with owning a gun. My stance: Gun

“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 of all Americans to bear arms is a right the Founding Fathers held to equal importance as the Constitution itself. Gun control laws directly violate this right and therefore should not even be under consideration. Even if that issue is overlooked, gun control advocates state that in order to reduce firearm related violence, gun control laws must be implemented to remove the violence caused by firearms. Although this may seem reasonable, the consequences of such laws are ironically counterproductive; they exacerbate the problem instead of fixing it. Besides the fact that the American

Scholarly Essay: Gun Control There has been considerable debate recently in Canada over the issue of gun control. The Canadian parliament enacted the Firearms Act to enforce gun control by requiring gun owners to register their firearms. Just recently, the government of Alberta lead in a charge, including five other provinces and numerous pro-gun groups, complaining that the law is unconst...

If you have ever been in a life threatening situation with no way to defend yourself, being denied access to a firearm makes the situation worse.  Many law abiding citizens that feel threatened are not able to obtain a firearm for protection.  Innocent people are dying while criminals are getting away with gun related crimes.  There can be many regulations and laws against guns, but if a person wants a gun they will find a way to get one.  The thought of criminals having guns in their possession is a scary thought, but would you want to be the one who is unarmed?  Research shows there is no direct correlation between gun control and lower crime rates; therefore, denying law abiding citizens access to weapons for protection is unfair

Tragedies force us to re-evaluate our current laws and how effective they are at protecting the American population. Many believe that enacting strict regulations on the ownership and utilization of firearms is the next step toward a safe and peaceful society. On the other hand, many believe that enacting such strict regulations would be a detriment to public safety. The question we need to ask ourselves is, how much do we value a supposed benefit to public safety over our personal freedom to use firearms for self-defense? The United States should not adopt laws that place heavy restrictions on the usage and ownership of firearms because the freedom and safety of the American people is worth preserving, regardless of the immoral actions a fraction of the population is willing to commit.

The second part of reforming the Republican Party involves enacting stricter gun regulations to decrease the amount of gun violence in the United States. The official policy from the Republican platform believes that all law-abiding citizens should have the right to own guns (2016 Republican Party Platform). However, recent mass shootings in California and Texas has called into question on whether the regulations that are in place are enough, or if there should be tougher background checks and restrictions on guns. The Republican Party’s current stance on these recent shootings has caused a massive backlash from the media and the public, which is resulting in a rapid decrease in popularity. The American public is dismayed when they turn on the news and see reports of another mass shooting causing unnecessary deaths because of gun violence and Republican politicians are attacked on the media for not taking the necessary action of stricter gun regulations. However, with this new stance the Republicans will now support more detailed background checks and restrict the type of guns that can be owned by regular citizens. This will be heavily supported by most liberal groups but disapproved by the almost all conservative groups. Groups like the Solid Liberals, Faith and Family Left, and the Next Generation Left believe that the government controlling gun ownership should be implemented due to the increase of mass shootings. However, groups that are far right, the Young Outsiders,

A permit to carry a concealed weapon is not a license to kill. Upon becoming a U.S. citizen, one of my first goals was to own a handgun. I was not aware of the impact that the decision to apply for my Kansas state concealed carry weapon permit had on my lifestyle and on the safeguard of the Constitution. When you carry concealed, you are doing more than carrying a handgun. I want to express my personal thoughts on the issue of gun control and the right to defend myself. There are many written pieces out there on this subject already, and I agree with a lot of the reasons given for why citizens should take on the responsibility of defending themselves. I understand why many speak out against the carrying of firearms and why they are hesitant to have everybody carry guns. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so I don’t want to speak negatively about those who are against civilians carrying guns. I am only telling my view here.

Every day we all leave our homes to go to work, school or to even just get out of the house. This simple piece of our lives is now becoming an issue and we are all facing it today in America. The fact that our freedom and day to day activities could be at stake, is a very real and scary thought. Such a thought that no American’s should have to think of before leaving their house every day. In America “More than a third of Americans say they or someone in their household owns a gun” (PEW RESEARCH). This means that out of three people, one of those people you see down the street will own a gun; do you really trust that one person you run into down the street? Even if the gun laws don’t change, then at least shorten the amount of rounds a gun allows. Guns do not stop the crimes, they start them; and then people are too busy to learn the proper ways to use a gun, and lastly there are other ways to deal with violence than with a gun.
