Gun Control Laws Is The State Of New York

Significance: This topic is extremely significant because gun rights are under attack from many politicians in America, who are attempting to take protection out of the hands of the law-abiding citizens of this great country. Current laws in much of the country control what kind of gun people can and cannot own, as well as when and where they can carry them (if at all). In addition, more restrictive gun laws have not reduced mass shootings and have allowed for a larger number of gun-related deaths to occur.

The next issue called into question is the fact that this law requires all who own them to register their “assault weapons”. This can be an issue of privacy and can also predispose police officers into thinking that these citizens may be criminals just because they own assault weapons.

Gun control has become an increasingly controversial topic in the nation due to the continuous debates relating to gun control and whether or not laws should be passed to make it harder for guns to be obtained. Guns serve for a variety of purposes that range from good to bad. Guns are not for everyone. Some individuals cannot handle guns properly, and some choose to use guns inappropriately. Lately, guns have become more of a problem in our society. There has been an increasing amount of shootings that have taken many lives and have wounded people emotionally, not just physically. Although guns are used for protection, firearms are reportedly used more in crimes. More and more shootings are breaking out across the nation. As a result, the

Goals of this policy is to make sure that the general people can have enough safety and know the rules of keeping the guns and other firearms at their place for their own self-protection. (Shennasa E, et. al, 2014)

The concept of total gun-control is viewed by many as the ban of all firearms for civilian possession, as well as severe restrictions on the certain types of firearms allowed for civilian possession. In very recent years we can examine the effects of instituting sever gun restriction in cities and the negative effects that it had. Washington DC and Chicago provide

Gun control has a history dating back to 1791, when the Second Amendment of the Constitution was ratified. However, more recently, the debate over gun control has escalated into a much more public issue to which many citizens can relate. After all, stories about incidents involving guns appear frequently today in newspapers and on television or the radio. One could say that the debate started with the passage of the Gun Control Act of 1968, which banned ownership of guns by certain groups of people and regulated the sale of guns. Since then, two main groups have gradually appeared: people who oppose strict federal

This will lessen gun trafficking into states that wish to have stricter gun regulation. On top of that states may pass further gun control legislation to an extent that the people agree to be adequate. Background checks also need to be performed prior to all gun purchases in order to keep guns out of the hands potentially harmful people. This would be possible as it would just needs congresses agreement, and it would be desirable as many people would prefer a median control on guns and, according to Gallop.com in April of 2013 83% of Americans said they would’ve voted for a measure to increase background checks on guns if it was on the ballot (Newport 2013, 1).

There is a bill currently in congress, H.R. 308, which is a semiautomatic magazine ban. It would prohibit private transfers of magazines holding more than 10 rounds, even if they were

A person never knows if their life’s base between life or death, when there is a terrorist out in the community willing to come out and kill many citizens for no apparent reason. Proposition 63 would regulate the amount of ammo a gun should have and have no more guns with large magazines. With large magazines it is easier for a terrorist to kill more people in less time, but with proposition 63, ammo would cut off shortly for a gun owner and have their background checked to buy ammo or a gun. Will the ammo shorten would have an impact on every gun owner, but would be better because no gun owner would have to have a gun with more than ten bullets in their magazine unless they have a good reason or profession that required to have more than ten bullets in their charger because if they do not the people trying to buy the product have bad intention to use the gun and large amounts of bullets.

Incredible amount of gun violence has been on an exponential incline and has been a very serious issue in the recent years. Some of the hardest issues for gun control, is deciding on whether or not to make it stricter or ban all guns. Currently in the United States; passing new laws for gun control is in a standstill, thanks to politicians who do not wish to cooperate with each other. A vast majority of proposals have been made, but with little to none making it all the way to get passed. Another big challenge is trying to keep everyone happy, while also trying to put the U.S. in a safer environment to live in. The government needs to regulate the types of guns you can purchase and own, and who can purchase a gun or own a gun. These laws need to change mostly because times have changed, and America’s mental health system is currently not adequate enough. Which is why figuring out ways to contain the terrible unneeded violence is a must for the health and safety of the United States of America.

Gun Control: Overview The issue of gun control has been debated for a long time, probably ever since

The first article that will be discussed in the Literature Review are the pro-gun control views of Robert J. Spitzer in his article NEW YORK STATE AND THE NEW YORK SAFE ACT: A CASE STUDY IN STRICT GUN LAWS. The reason that I selected this article for my Pro gun right argument is that it provided the perspective from a state center approach to being proactive with strict gun laws. It broadens the perspective and makes the sample size easy to analyze and makes it easy to compare to other states with controlled variables. Robert Spitzer opens his piece by discussing the “perennial political struggle over gun policy in America” (pg. 749) As the Pew Research chart that is listed above has an interesting correlation between the two sides of general perception of how the sides correlate to legislation being passed.

New York is one of the states which does not have state gun law and NYAGV mission is to bring a policy change in New York and influence government to issue a state gun law. There are many opposing views about gun control and some people are against this and saying that gun control cannot save lives. But the fact is that state laws do not prevent individual from having gun but most of them ask individuals to do a background check before buying a gun and also to keep gun in a save place out of reach of children and teenagers.

Guns - for the average citizen, or just military and law enforcement, the controversy about citizens owning guns is becoming a more heated debate. Some people believe that the average citizen should not be able to own and carry firearms. However, citizens should be allowed to carry firearms because farmers and ranchers need to be able to protect their herds and livestock from coyotes and other predators. People in the city or suburbs, or even the countryside need to protect themselves from crime. The hunters of northern Montana need to hunt the deer they depend on for food over the winter. The law that has been put in place where we live is known as the NY SAFE Act. Under this new law, citizens must register their firearms and have them permanently

The reason behind my choosing of gun control in America as my topic is the importance it has had in political discussions as of late. Throughout the most recent US presidential race, the candidates were frequently confronted with their beliefs towards gun control. A surplus of political analysts were convinced this was one of the issues that propelled Donald Trump’s support. Another reason for my choosing of this topic was its abundance in recent media as mass shootings appear to be happening almost biweekly at this point. These incidents have propelled the gun control conversation onto the front page of every newspaper and out of the lips of every political reporter.
