Gun Control Laws In Mexico

Just like England and Wales Mexico has not had any luck with their very strict gun laws. As a matter of fact, Mexico only has one legal gun store compared to the United States of America that has roughly around 68,000 legal gun stores. Yet Mexico in 2012 had 11,309 murders by a gun while the United States had about 9,146 by gun. In order to buy a gun in Mexico, customers must provide a valid ID, show proof of an honest income, pass a criminal background check, prove that any military duties were completed with honor, be fingerprinted and photographed to purchase a gun. Yet as of 2012, Mexico’s one gun shop

Over two centuries ago with the ratification of our Bill of Rights, I would highly doubt anyone would believe that the ability to carry a firearm would one day be debated; or even illegal. As the second amendment states “the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed” (Staff). Since 1787, nowhere has “the right to bear arms” been further explained in a legal or political sense. Thus, throughout the history of our country the right to own a firearm has been implied.

There are currently over 200 million guns in use, which means obtaining a gun in the United States mustn't be that hard. If gun usage could be regulated more by banning certain unneeded weapons to the public and requiring a more in depth background check, than miss usage of guns, and deaths caused by them would decrease. However, already existing laws need to be enforced and harsher penalties for those who don't follow the laws. If the country would agree on certain legislation for gun control, than The United States could be a much safer

Regulations of firearms should minimal and should target the criminals, not the law-abiding citizen. It’s not the good citizens that should be punished by taking gun rights away, but they who break the law continuously. Regulating the law abiding citizen on what he or she can or cannot own as far as weapons is completely unfair to them, as criminals will always be able to get weapons if they

Throughout American History looking all the way back to the late 18th Century and the Revolutionary War, there have been many qualities that set America apart from all other countries. Documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights bestowed upon Americans have spelled out some of these very qualities that Americans hold dear. One right that is often brought to the forefront of the argument over gun control is found within the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The 2nd Amendment of the Bill of Rights 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”(1). This powerful statement sets the foundation and

In present day America everyone seems to have different understandings and translations of our constitutional right to bear arms. The Second Amendment right reads as follows: "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 Second Amendment, which includes the statement “The right to bear arms”, was originally written for the self protection of United States citizens from an overpowering government, such as the government we had just recently broke apart from, aka the British. Nowadays, the meaning of this phrase has been skewed by those against self defense and guns as; gun rights are for only hunting. Yes, this phrase in the Second Amendment can mean for hunting but the intention is for protection. Some individuals even think that it was just a temporary part of the amendment to keep our early nation safe. This however is also untrue; it was to prevent us from being controlled by another government that has become too powerful. On top of this, the end of this amendment reads as follows “shall not be infringed.” The definition of in infringe is to break the terms. This could be an agreement or law. The government taking any weapon from an innocent American is directly violating the laws they are here to uphold. The law-abiding citizens of the United States have a right to bear arms, whether for hunting or for

American society has evolved since the eighteenth century and it is time the gun laws reflected it. In 1791 the Right to Bear Arms was adapted into the United States Constitution, It 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." When our founding fathers were generating gun laws, they were surrounded by a completely different culture then we live in today, and they did not anticipate the types of weapons that would be accessible. The cities at this time were always under threat of being raided by enemies, and the army was new and

It has been statistically proven that those who have committed previous crimes or misdemeanors are more likely to commit future crimes with a gun (Barrett). While there are laws that prevent certain criminals from buying or owning guns, there are few. Also, many criminals find a way to steal legally owned guns. While this is not the owners fault since they were law-abiding citizens, the criminal was still able to get access to a gun, especially if that gun was previously owned by a family or friend. Stricter gun laws would make it harder for criminals to get guns which would help decrease the number of burglaries, thefts, and homicides that occur in the United States. Even though adding stricter gun laws towards criminals can help the crime and violence rate, it is still not going to prevent others from using it to commit a crime. People who are committing a crime for the first time are still a problem. They may have legally acquired their gun , but it is still being used for a crime. In 2012, 49 of the 62 guns used in mass shootings were obtained legally (Barrett). These are the people that lawmakers need to watch out

The right to gun ownership within the Constitution is fundamental. Other fundamental rights include the freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and so forth (LaFollette 265). If one fundamental right such as the right to bear arms can be removed after years of debate, there is nothing to stop more rights from being taken away in the future. This might seem like a slippery slope but if the Bill of Rights, one of the most important documents to the start of this country, can be altered, then there is no stopping people from demanding further change

The United States government should have the authority to restrict and regulate American citizens from buying or owning firearms. Gun Control laws are necessary in a state because they decrease violence and increase government protection in the state.

Protecting the right to keep and bear arms is not the same as forbidding all regulations on that right. We can protect that right and still require background checks, permits, and training. We can still regulate when, where, and what kinds of guns are allowed. In some cases, we can regulate who can obtain guns, imposing restriction on, for instance, felons, the mentally ill, and known terrorist…. There might be policy reasons to debate the pros and cons of specific regulations, but there’s no reason to assume that there is a constitutions problem (“Gun Control Laws:

It is our constitutional right to bear arms to protect ourselves from an overbearing government, also to protect our life, liberty, and property. Politicians have sworn to protect and uphold our constitution yet they aim to bring down the second amendment. Guns have been used in wars since the 13 century, and were also a vital part of America becoming freed from the hold of the monarchy. Guns were used as tools for survival during the founding of our great country, as well as protecting weaker countries from

In conclusion the government should not take are right to bear arm. We need guns to feel safer, self defiance and to feel like we our intimidating. Just because the government takes the gun control away dose not mean it will prevent mass shooting, friends and family giving them their gun, or even going to another state that will give them a gun. There are also less accidentals deaths. You can get gun education, you need screening, and also being raised up with guns has a good percentage of knowing how to handle a gun and have good education on it. Remember guns do not kill people, people kill

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
