Gun Control Pros And Cons

The Republican Party is extremely supportive of all the laws for less gun control while the Democrats want more gun control. The Republicans have always been advocates of less gun control because of their belief in the Second Amendment. I believe the following quote from “Republican Views on Gun Control” (2013) sums up their ideology on the subject: “The GOP (“Grand Old Party”) is keen to point out that the Republican position on gun rights does not flow from a fondness for weapons, but from a fundamental principle that calls for upholding certain rights that the nation was built upon. Republicans believe that governmental regulation of firearms is largely unconstitutional and therefore, most gun laws are an infringement on the individual’s rights to bear arms. The dominant point made by Republicans in this regard is that the Second Amendment gives the right to the individual to protect himself, his family, and his property.” While I agree with the right to protect oneself and his or her family, I would have to side with the Democrats’ stance on gun control. I think people should be able to bear arms but not every single weapon needs to be in reach. For example, according to Republican Views (2013), in 1993, Bill Clinton passed the Federal Assault Weapons Ban which banned the manufacture of semi-automatic firearms that were defined as assault weapons for civilian use. I completely agree with this law because there is simply no need for an average civilian to own an assault rifle especially now days. Assault rifles over the last two decades have gotten lighter and more powerful, and there is simply no need to them to be in the hands of inexperienced people. People worrying about protecting themselves and their property can still purchase sniper rifles, shotguns, and pistols, which do the job perfectly well. Along with protection, people also like to use guns for hunting, and a

The topic that I have chosen to write about is should there be more gun control laws be enacted. What does gun control do you may ask? Gun control is any kind of firearm that is bought or sold. What will be in the essay will be different things of Pros and Cons on the different things that gun control is in. The gun control law should not be enforced more is should be managed better for people who do not know what they are doing. The Second Amendment protects the people the rights to own guns. As us the people we have the right to bare arms for the need of protecting ourselves.

The United States has 88.8 guns per 100 people, or about 270,000,000 guns, which is the highest total and per capital number in the world. 22% of Americans own one or more guns (35% of men and 12% of women). America's pervasive gun culture stems in part from its colonial history, revolutionary roots, frontier expansion, and the Second Amendment, which 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." Proponents of more gun control laws state that the Second Amendment was intended for militias; that gun violence would be reduced; that gun restrictions have always existed; and that a majority of Americans, including gun owners, support new gun restrictions.

Gun control in the U.S has been a highly talked about topic the past couple of years. Through the development of technology and social media; many people across the country have been more involved in voicing their opinions about this issue. America is known as the land of the free, many people take pride in being able to bare arms. However, this right has been abused by not only civilians, but law enforcement as well. The United States has the 31st highest rate of gun violence in the world and it is not decreasing anytime soon. The phrase “America's largest mass shooting” has been reassigned to numerous occurrences that have taken place over the past decade. It is apparent that through these tragedies it is time for a serious change, innocent lives are being lost for no reason.

My opinion on the gun debate is that we need more gun regulations. I believe we can make gun-control laws without depriving people of their constitutional right to bear arms. Similar to the Supreme Court ruling of District of Columbia v. Heller, I believe there are reasonable gun regulations allowed under the Second Amendment.

The debate over gun control has been raging through the American political systems for years. On one side, there is the National Rifle Association (NRA) and 2nd Amendment-citing citizens who use their firearms for hunting and self-defense. On the other, there is Handgun Control Inc. (HCI) and followers of the Brady Campaign who want to ban guns on the basis that they are dangerous. Both sides have strong arguments, anchored in historical precedent and statistical analysis. Anti-gun control lobbyists’ arguments include the guarantee of the 2nd Amendment, the definition of “militia” as any adult male, self-defense, the relative uselessness of permits and regulations, and court cases in favor of firearm possession. Pro-gun control activists

The debate over gun control is one of the most heated debates currently going on in the government, and in the general population of the United States. One side of the debate says that guns are a legal right protected by the Second Amendment, and help to keep citizens safe if they are ever attacked. The other side says that guns are an evil thing, that they are the cause of death and destruction, and they want to infringe on American 's rights, and basically negate the entire second amendment. Gun Control is something that would really hurt this nation. If guns are banned, law abiding citizens will turn in their guns, and criminals will be free to do whatever they want without the fear of a citizen having a gun to stop them.

Gun Control is very controversial many people believe that there is nothing wrong with the gun control laws in place right now. The Republican Party and The Democratic Party has different views on Gun Control. Many tragedies have occurred such as school and mass shootings. This year gun-related shootings have increased. The Second Amendment is the right to bear arms which can be interpreted differently by others. Specifically, the 2nd 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. Gun Control Laws should be strict throughout all states in order to insure the safety of others.

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

I believe that Pro Gun control is the right choice, if you watch any news show, every other day there is at least one story involving a gun related crime in some shape or form. And most of the time that same gun, that's being reported, was used to harm another human being,or more than one person. Both sides of the story are constantly bickering about the matter. Those who believe in that there should be gun control are simply outnumbered by those who don’t. On top of that, every year the number of guns the U.S rises and as a result gun related crimes also rise. The situation may become too large for us to handle, no gun control will lead to more gun crimes and anyone could be a victim. We need gun control, so that we can discourage potential

Recently in the news many have been discussing the soundness of the second amendment. There are said to be two sides to the argument, those who are in favor of the amendment, and those who want to abolish it. However in practicality destroying a whole amendment and collecting every single firearm in the country is close to impossible. Yet if more amendments were added to alter the law such as a age limit or a controlled buying pool then gun control can become a realistic possibility. Gun supporters are constantly trying to argue the points that people kill not guns, that it is taking away the freedom of the amendment, and that even if illegalize guns people will still use them. All these arguments have holes and counterpoints that perfectly

The gun control debates have been a polarizing issue as people have different stands concerning the policies that guide the gun control (Spitzer, Robert J, 30). Guns are used for self-defense. It is illogic to prevent law-abiding citizen from acquiring guns while criminals have them illegally. Handguns are small and thus can be carried anywhere for self-defense (Lott, John R. 13). Therefore, they are the weapons of choice for the individuals who wish to use it for self-defense. Unfortunately, they can be the weapon of choice for criminals too (Xia, Yuanqing, 2299). Since the handguns are small, thieves can also secretly use them to instill fear to others and steal from them. Since criminals are humans who claim to need security, they are also likely to acquire guns as per the regulations of gun control. Gun control would definitely lead to higher levels of crimes.

Gun control is the set of laws or policies that regulate the manufacture, sale, transfer, possession, modification, or use of firearms by civilians. The debate over gun control has come up for debate across the United States after two mass shootings rocked the country. The common argument for gun control is that gun control works. When simply in reality that argument is invalid because when you limit guns or even take them away in some cases the murder rate rises. Not only does gun control not work but the laws are racist and gives the government to much power. The idea of gun control infringes on the rights of citizens and takes away their safety.

Gun control in America has been a highly controversial subject for many years now. With the mass shootings taking place more and more lately, it has become an even more important topic. Many americans believe we should have gun control, while many others think that it will not help anything. I believe that we should have stricter gun control laws and should enforce them better because our founding fathers could not have foreseen these advancements in firearm technology. They did not know how much the guns would change and how dangerous they could become, especially if everyone is allowed to have one.

chines they have recently been publicized as. Gun Control: The Great Cop-out by Jared Machaud and Gun Control and the Constitution by David B. Rivkin Jr. and Andrew M. Grossman effectively display the anti-gun control side of this discussion; whereas The Second Amendment is all for Gun Control by Adam Winkler and Making Gun Control Happen by Patrick Radden Keefe display the pro-gun control side. In my views, guns are a helper in a time of crisis when help is too far away, or unwilling to come. Rather than put more restrictions on guns and gun owners, we should maintain the ability to protect ourselves and our fellow Americans through the use of firearms.
