Gun Control In The United States: Economic Today

Statistical analysis about states in the U.S. proves the correlation between strict gun control policies and deaths related to firearms to the least extent. According to an article published by Richard Florida on CityLab, a research shows that states with stricter gun control have fewer gun-related fatalities. The study in the article was conducted by researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and Harvard School of Public Health. Researchers measured “legislative strength” of gun control policies in each state using data from Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. Specifically, the elements that the researchers include when accounting for “legislative strength” are:

Gun control has been a long debate to determine if it’s better to have stricter access to firearms. America is one of the few countries that has gun rights embedded in their constitution. But what makes the US exceptional is that it has the right to keep and bear arms, other countries do not provide the right to have access to them, but rather, the government is allowed to regulate its use. The right to bear arms has also been the cause of growing violence and crime, at least according to anti-gun lobbyists. Citizens should be aware the dangers and harm that guns present to society. Controlling the sale of firearms can greatly decrease the number of violent crimes.

Gun Control is a hot topic in the U.S. Politicians have been arguing about increasing and enforcing more Gun Control laws across the nation; however, America should not enact Gun Control laws. Enacting these laws will create more issues in America instead of solving the issue at hand. Guns are necessary for protection against tyranny and acts of violence. The total crime rate in America has gone down without the existence of Gun Control.

Gun control has not been effective in the history of the United States. Even with laws that restrict gun ownership, it will not deter or prevent criminals from obtaining weapons or crimes from happening. Statistics can back up both sides of the gun control argument, but in reality simply having stricter gun laws does not stop crimes. Even with stringent gun laws criminals will find ways around them legally or illegally.

Gun control has been a debated, revisited and revised issue for more than a century in the United States. Recently, after several mass shootings in the United States, gun violence issues are; yet again, renewed and in the forefront for the United States. This paper will consist of insight on gun violence in the United States and the newly imposed gun control policies by President Obama; along with, the arguments for and against the new policies and what roles both the formal and informal actors have played in the resolve of this; once again, disturbing issue.

Imagine this: you are in World History class at your high school almost falling asleep learning about Ancient China. It is a normal day for you and your classmates, until you hear an announcement from the principal. You expect the typical lockdown drill, but this situation is far from typical. A man with a gun breaks into your school. BANG! Several of your classmates are killed before this man can be controlled. You survive, but live the rest of your life thinking back to that day and wonder if you could’ve done anything differently. What you should be asking yourself is how did this crazy man get a gun? Although this situation is hypothetical, it has occurred several times in the United States. This is due to the loose gun laws of the United States. The Second Amendment protects the right for all citizens to have guns to form militias and fight against a tyrannical government. While this was built into the original constitution, it is causing many unnecessary problems in the U.S. today. Also, this definition carries little weight with militias no longer existing today. The United States should reassess gun control laws, resulting in decreased gun violence, and ultimately saving countless innocent lives.

The United States faces many problems today, with one of the most concerning being gun control. It has affected the Nation in a tremendous way with innocent people dying. Homicide rates in America are alarming and more frequent than ever. In my opinion, the reasons why we should be more strict on gun control is because they have the ability to create chaos in general, which is the result of them being in the possession of wrong people like children and criminals.

Firearms have been in our culture since the beginning of time. Guns have been used for many things from hunting and sports, and in some cases, personal protection. The Greek philosopher Aristotle wrote in politics, “That ownership of weapons was necessary for true citizenship.”(The History) Now there are laws, people, and groups trying to take “the right to bear arms” away from U.S. citizens. Gun control is not the answer to the whole gun problem. The laws can help prevent criminal activity, with some positive effects that gun control has. But gun control is not going to solve anything.

Gun control is a big thing in the world today. Many Americans want it but also many don’t. There are both good reasoning’s and there are bad reasoning’s. Gun control is for our own safety but can also take our safe feelings away by knowing we won’t have a gun in hand to protect us in a real time of need. The second Amendment is commonly used when trying to set up the restrictions and rules of these gun control laws. There are a lot of regulations being set up and still are being made to “keep us safe.” Strict gun laws can be good for American citizens but they also can be life threatening in times. There is a never ending debate on gun control and Americans will always fight for their rights. The government should not be allowed to regulate the purchase on the owning of guns.

An ever-popular topic in the United States has to be what to do about gun control laws. Firearms have been the leading cause of death since the beginning of the 20th century. In 2010, guns took the lives of over 31,000 Americans in homicides, suicides and unintentional shootings according to the U.S centers of disease. There should be new gun laws implemented into the United States constitution because Gun laws in today’s constitution give more access to illegal weapons, do not reduce crime rates and has become one of the highest societal cost associated with death and injury. The second amendment states that ‘ A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free states, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall

Guns are a nuisance in the United States and citizens should not be allowed to own or carry a firearm. It is essential that regulations to gun control laws are enforced for the protection and welfare of our society.

Many people are trained to have a gun or get a licenced to have a gun. Guns are legally for the right reasons. They are put in use for the military,SWAT teams and police these people are well trained to put them in use when it needs to be done and help save lives. Yes there are lots of mixed feelings with gun control but there also is benefits such as the National Rifle Association, they believe everyone should be able to own guns and there should be little guidelines because of the benefits of guns. National Rifle Association believes guns help lower crime rates and provide a means of safety to many Americans, they are actually contributing to the statistics of death and injuries, therefore raising crime rates and proving unsafe for many Americans if not regulated properly.

Guns are something that America has had since the beginning. America also have a stereotype about us being gunaholics. Like it or not guns are a part of us, yet they can really have a negative impact. People wrongly use guns all the time in crimes such as murder and robbery. Not all people who own guns are crazy or going to use them harmfully so that’s were Gun Control is wrong in taking everyone’s guns. Guns, can be very dangerous, but can also be used for protection and are a right to those who can use them properly or with the right training.

Gun control in america has been a problem for many years now. We have 24 hours in a day which may seem like a lot but it’s not. Most people either go to work for half of the day or they are enrolled in school which leaves us with only a limited amount of time when we get home. Most likely the people who do buy guns does neither of these two things. Guns should not be allowed to american citizens because you never know what they are pondering about using the gun for. The best part about not allowing guns for citizens to use is that the rate of robborys, break ins, or even murders will decrease in america. This will make the jobs of police officers easier and more efficient. Guns should only be used for the army so they can protect our country.

With mass shootings occurring more often in the U.S., the push for gun control increases. As with any action there is an opposition of the fight against the right to bear arms. In the age of home security and non-lethal weapons, is there still a need for homeowners to have a gun in the safe? The divide is growing between those that believe the second amendment has outstayed it’s welcome and those that believe it is one of the best parts of being an American. The right to own a firearm is still just as necessary today as it was over 200 years ago; crime is still here and is increasing by the day, plus the founding fathers found it important and they haven’t been wrong yet.
