Gun Control: The Role Of Crime In The United States

Weapons have been a big problem to the United States for many years now. People have access to many weapons just as easy as the US Military does. The people of the US can both go to a gun store and buy a weapon at the age of sixteen, or they can make a deal with anyone in the streets of the US. Because of the accessibility to weapons, Americans can cause collateral damage in the neighborhood they live in. They can also commit robbery, or go anywhere and start shooting.

Gun Control in the United States has gone out of control. The United States should enforce laws to not allow any guns in a house hold in order to reduce violence and crime in the country. Reducing the rate of crime in the United States, controlling big weapons, taxing ammunition, and gun collection can help make this happen. Gun Control can make this country a safer environment to live in.

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.

The men of this new found land convened to discuss their rules and rights to run their newly created government. They create a bill declaring the basic rights that every man in the country could have. Some of the basic rights that were created was the right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, free speech. One of the most important rights created was the right to keep and bear arms.  However, in these times of increased violence with guns, many people in America believe that the possession of guns is

No: Armed civilians are unlikely to stop crimes and are more likely to make dangerous situations.

Over the past few months, people across the nation have been debating about gun control. Topics ranging from firearm restrictions to background checks have been heavily discussed by both emotion and logic, by both gun supporters and gun control activists, and it seems like there is no middle ground for both parties to agree on. Crime rates influence guns demanded for self-protection, and guns demanded by criminals depend upon guns held by law-abiding citizens. Comparative-static analysis is used to investigate the effects of crime and gun control policies. The results show that increases in crime control policies may reduce crime by less than one would expect because of the indirect negative effect on guns owned by the law-abiding public. Gun control policies reduce the demand for guns, but the effect on premeditated crime is ambiguous because of the negative effect on guns owned for self-protection and recreation. This paper reflects on how safety for law abiding citizens should have the right to protect themselves and or their families.

The gun violence and gun control in america needs help but should we add more guns laws. Do you think we should add gun laws to make it more difficult to purchase a weapon. I think that their should be more gun laws to make it harder to purchase a gun any every state.

The Second Amendment, written in 1791, firearm control is a transcendent divisive matter in cutting edge American society.From one perspective, gunfire attests an unfaltering, each day toll of American lives, from suicide and accidents impressively more than from unpleasant wrongdoing.Consistently, a mass executioner, as often as possible furnished with one or more self-loader military-sort snare weapons, chops down twelve or so setbacks. On the other hand, weapon proprietorship is an inside worth to a colossal number of Americans, and perhaps a lion 's offer of each and every American family unit have no short of what one gun. Most need a weapon as security against the very violence of our streets. To some of these gun proprietors, furthermore, their privilege to their weapons is treasured in the Bill of Rights.

Gun control is a highly controversial topic in the United States. There are many people who are for gun control - people who want to have stricter laws to make it so criminals and other dangerous people can’t obtain a firearm. But, there are also the people who disagree with gun control laws and believe there should be a more lenient gun control to help people defend themselves during risky situations. Many gun control laws have been passed for many years. While many have been passed, many have been voted unconstitutional meaning they affect the citizens second amendment rights. The Second Amendment of The United States Constitution 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." America is the most well-armed nation in the world, with American citizens owning about 270 million of the world’s 875 million firearms (Marshall). This is more than a quarter of the world’s registered firearms. The reason why Americans own so many guns is because of the Second Amendment which grants that right. Although the Second Amendment prevents the federal government from completely banning guns in America, limited restrictions are allowed on the distribution and possession of firearms. Certain groups of people such as criminals, the mentally unstable, and soldiers dishonorably discharged from the military are prohibited from possessing or interacting with firearms

Our opponents believe that gun control should be enforced tighter by the government. They are influenced by many different depictions of guns whether it be the media after a shooting or in music that glorifies gun violence. What our opponents cease to acknowledge however, is that gun control laws do not do much to cause these occurrences to cease. While the laws can make it harder to acquire, transport, and use guns, the laws will always fail to stop the true reason for their existence; to stop crimes committed with guns. Unfortunately for America and gun control supporters, gun crime is very common in the United States and is actually gaining popularity.

Excellent and challenging topic, and based on your analysis, I concur it is challenging to find gun control articles. There are a couple of books, but very few old articles. However, in the coming years, that may change as the discussion about gun control has become an ordinary national debate now. One of the most recent books which speak on this subject was published 2018 by Routledge, and its focus was to see what the public opinions were about gun control and the justice system (Roberts, 2018). Compare to the past; more people have shown concerns about crime and gun issues than ever before. For example, a study was conducted in 1993 to measure how society felt about gun control, and only 5% were concerned that crime was the number one national

Buying a lethal firearm is just as easy as purchasing groceries. Furthermore, most big chain grocery stores sell guns to be purchased along with your essential food items. Guns have been a controversial topic for many years, and the big question is who should be allowed to own one. Gun control has been the solution provided to help prevent violent crimes in the U.S. The question to be asking though, should not be how do we keep citizens from owning lethal weapons, to how do we keep lethal weapons out of the wrong hands? Finding loopholes through the given civil rights of citizens, such as the second amendment, have proven too difficult to simply set a gun ban nationwide and take away a citizen’s firearm. Lenient gun control laws are safer

Murder, a crime which has been illegal in nearly all societies throughout the history of man including the U.S has immensely lucid laws written against it. This law prevents many people from committing murder, however mass shootings still occur despite this law. Why would more laws preventing such crimes stop them? Whenever there is news of a mass shooting or shooting incident, gun laws are always the first thing to be blamed by the media. Saying increasing gun laws and banning assault rifles would stop all these crimes is an overstretch. These people fail to realize that statistics have shown more gun laws would not stop shootings. Making guns illegal would not reduce mass shootings, due to the majority of shootings taking place in gun free zones, it will only stop law abiding citizens from obtaining guns, and thus endanger people more.

A growing number of states in the US have passed stricter gun policies for citizens to own bare arms. The almighty goal is to have all the guns taken away from gun owners and future gun owners. The policies have adjusted citizens to go through a process just to obtain a gun license or permit. For example, rigorous background checks and sponsorship from law enforcement. This process contradicts the 2nd Amendment from the U.S Constitution. Every American has the constitutional privilege to own guns and stricter gun policies will not effectively reduce crime. Enforcing gun control laws and regulations across the United States will not devaluate crime rates. Bruce Wills: An American actor quoted, “If you take guns

Public ownership of guns has been a common practice in many countries of the world, including the United States of America. Many people indulge in the purchase and use of various different types of guns in the western world for legal purposes such as hunting, sporting uses, and recreational purposes. However, the most important purpose for owning of weapons is for the purpose of self-defense. The public ownership of guns in America has been a trend that has existed for over a century and ownership is considered a part of the heritage. This is known as the gun culture in the United States of America (Hofstadter). Elsewhere, especially in countries such as the United Kingdom and Australia, gun culture is more referred to the increasing use and ownership of guns by the criminals (Hope).
