Every day in our country our citizens are faced with a huge epidemic of violence in their own streets, these streets have become a place where our elderly are beaten for their fixed income checks and their other sources of income, where smaller females are attacked and raped, where teen thugs shoot and kill each other for some “turf” to sell their illegal drugs, and finally where our small children are shot down in cold blood during drive by shootings. We try to ignore the fact that the criminals in our society and how they hurt it, but we shouldn’t. We should take the proper actions to stop these acts of crazy people in our society. And some brave enough people try, but the hard work of some misguided citizens attempt to stop the legal ownership …show more content…
The second amendment states that ownership of a fire arm is perfectly legal and guaranteed as a right to the citizens of our country. There were and always will be good reasons for this, fortunately they are still practiced today by a lot of American citizens. In the earlier days of our country, guns were used for hunting and if necessary, used as an act of self-defense if one felt that their life was being threatened or in danger. When the earlier colonists of this country was fed up with the British rule, the colonists picked up their own personal fire arms and went to war with the British and showed them firsthand how powerful the tough band of average American gun owners were. Our founding fathers knew that if the population was armed, they would play a major key in winning the war against the British …show more content…
Both types of criminals break the law, so what makes the people screaming gun control think that a criminal won’t break the law to carry a gun. Criminals don’t attack other criminals because of an unwritten code between them, instead they attack the honest law-abiding citizen who works hard for their living, I come to think this is because they know that most likely their fellow criminals are armed because of their life style and the citizens who abide by the law are not. This is a result of the latest legislation from former president, Bill Clinton. These laws make it impossible for the average American citizen to fight back against
The pro gun control debate is sided by the more liberal organizations. Whether they are conspicuously discernible organizations for gun control, or even just more liberal news sources, be sure you ken their political standing afore taking their data as whole truth. Even an organization such as NPR cannot be held as 100% reliable, because of their generally liberal agendas. The gun control debate facts for the anti control side are just as suspect. Again, the NRA and its constituents are perhaps the most vocal in this debate. But generally any Republican or right-wing organization is going to have some remotely investment in keeping gun control down. Any of their facts and information are going to be hyperbolized or skewed in order to make gun
A hot-button topic in the world of U.S. politics today is the controversy over whether or not new gun laws need to be instituted to keep Americans safe. We are a nation that believes in the Second Amendment, and one that sticks to traditional values. With this, comes a great deal of incongruity, which makes for a very sensitive debate on gun control. On one side of the spectrum, we have those who take a more liberal stance; while they do in fact support the second amendment, there is no doubt that the U.S. has evolved significantly since the Constitution was written, hence creating a need for strict gun laws. On the other side of the spectrum, conservatives argue that as soon as executive action inhibits the fundamental principles in which
America is known as the land of opportunity, freedom, fast food, and raging numbers of gun violence. According to Mass Shooting Tracker there has been about 367 shootings so far since the year started (Mass Shooting Tracker). This is outrageous considering that in other countries, gun shooting numbers don 't even reach a two-digit number. Far too many people have been victims of these unregulated weapons, claiming lives and ripping families apart. There is no safe place from these assault weapons, no movie theater, night club, church, or school. American’s must deal with the fact that any unsuited person is legally allowed to purchase a weapon with the weak regulations we currently have. Assault weapons have been damaging for this country and it 's time to change the laws. Gun regulations and laws need to be stricter to make it harder for individuals to purchase guns to prevent any future tragedies from happening.
I believe you’re using APA and you did a good job of doing that, but you need to put your title on your first official page (the page you actually start your essay). I also think you should come up with a better title than just gun control, I mean what about gun control, your title doesn’t give me any insight on what you actually will be talking about dealing with guns. Going through it I can sense what you are trying to convey but the title is a little bland. Also, you cannot have your reference page on the same page as some of your essay, so the last page needs to JUST be your reference page. Speaking of references, I’m sorry to tell you, but you have no academic sources in your essay, no primary source either. You just have popular sources. My advice is go on websites
The bill, To Increase Gun Control Act will provide a secure background check for people who are trying to buy or own a gun. This bill will only provide legal gun to people who have no criminal history and clear background checks. This will create a rule to make background check more efficient and faster for the FBI to check a person background information accurately and increase weight time period. The purpose of this bill is to provide people the sense of safety in their neighborhood and their house. One million dollars will be provided to each state to provide police stations for Cash for Gun programs. Cash for Guns programs will offer people to recycle the gun they don’t need in exchange for 100 dollar per gun. 93% of the crimes used in
Some States in the United States are debating whether or not to set the Gun Control Law. Some people oppose this law while others support this it. I support the Gun Control Law. I support the law because their will be fewer suicides, less gun related deaths and people will less likely make attempts on shootings
The right to bear arms dates back to the second amendment.Guns do not kill people-; it is the people who are behind the guns. Gun control laws infringe upon the right of self-defense and deny people their sense of safety. The police cannot protect everyone and they will not always be there when people need safety. Wayne LaPierre, Executive Vice President of the NRA, stated, “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” With that being said, how will people help themselves in hefty situations? What will help the most with gun control laws?
Many people will nowadays say that the Second Amendment was written and created with the intention of allowing military and police to use weapons, and not citizens. This is simply wrong, you are the people of this country, and the people were intended to be allowed to carry. Guns allow you to feel safe in your homes and protect yourself. Any objections to this law should be ignored, they don't have the evidence to support the fact that the prohibiting of guns would solve our problems, (Should Gun Control Laws Be
ProCon.org recently featured an article that studied gun control. “Stricter state gun laws associated with fewer gun deaths, study finds.” The article discussed gun control laws in states with stricter laws tend to have lower rates of gun related homicides, and a suicide (ProCon para. 1) Gun control in the United States is becoming a wide spread issue and is becoming a problem everywhere. Although I am living in a city with uprising crime that has been skyrocketing over the years, I wasn’t aware of this being an issue all over the United States. I decided to do some research to find out whether I am in favor of Gun control laws or not. After reviewing many articles for and against gun control, I found out that I do in fact agree with
Lately, there has been an ongoing debate about controlling guns and many people are trying to discontinue giving citizens the right to own or possess firearm weapons. There are many people who think that nobody should be allowed to possess a firearm where as there are many other people that believe they deserve the right to own a firearm for many reasons. Because of the large differential between beliefs on this topic there is a large debate within the US Government whether or not to allow citizens to continue using guns and keep them. What really seems to be happening with this debate is that the people who want restrictions are not getting their way. There are many reasons for this and many reasons why people should be allowed to
Gun control is a controversial issue for a long time around the world, particularly in U.S. because of a lots of mass shooting in school and public places. The second Amendment of the U.S. constitution is one of the shortest in all of the bill of right, it was written by the time period of American’s birth and it is the spirit of self-defense that help the new citizens of U.S. win their own freedom from the British. But now as the gun shooting problem happening every day in America, this gun control problem has gradually become to a hot issue. Compare to other countries like Britain, Canada, Japan, China, the difference between U.S. and those countries is in these countries to get a firearm is a very difficult thing
Gun control has been a controversial topic, no doubt. It has led people to say that people shouldn’t be able to buy guns, and this argument has split America. Since I am a hunter I do believe people should have the right to buy guns. I also want to pass a bill that removes some types of guns away from the market.
A shooting here; a shooting there; a consistent day to day event heard in the daily papers and on the news stations on TV. New media are announcing a shooting someplace. Regardless of whether the shootings are intentional or unintentional; they are occurring all over the United States. In today’s society, gun control is essential; stricter federal laws must be enacted to save lives. Individual states’ laws are not sufficient to reduce deaths caused by guns
In 2012 former President Barack Obama stated he wanted to pass more laws to ban guns, many people did not agree with this. Lawmakers all around America are trying to pass new laws to make guns harder to get. These laws are also taking guns away from the American people. Lawmakers should allow all American citizens to
Gun control laws do not lower, but increase gun murder rate or crimes. In 1968, when Hawaii enforced strict laws on guns the murder rate was 2.4 per 100,000 per year. After nine years, it tripled to 7.2 per 100,000. In 1976, Washington D.C.’s murder rate rose to 134% while the USA murder rate dropped 2%. Criminals target areas with weak defenses, otherwise gun controlled areas. They know that those places have fewer guns meaning their defense is
