Gun Control: We Have The Right To Bear Arms

In December 1791, the Second Amendment was made: The Second Amendment offers “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep arms, and shall not be infringed.” This basically means United States gives the right to its residents to keep arms, and it guaranteed individuals the right to possess arms for their own personal defense. In the past few decades there been thousands of pages that are written seeking to uncover the meaning of the “the people,” and “bear arms,” have been strongly debated.

The matter of gun control has become an increasingly controversial issue. Whenever, a nationalized tragedy ensues that involves gun violence, the question on what to accomplish regarding America’s gun control takes center stage. While exploring this topic, this essay will attempt to discuss the circumstances that prohibit a person from possessing firearms, also regulations to prevent these persons from possessing firearms. Upon reflecting on the personal side of the gun control debate, stricter gun control begins to infringe upon our rights, as citizens and they should concentrate on enforcing the current laws in the books, instead of making additional laws.

The United States Patriot Militia in 1780 was the day of the battle that was the turning point of the Revolutionary War. These militiamen were normal arms-bearing citizens that gave the forward momentum of our country’s development, and without these citizens that stood up for our country, our life may not be as it is today. The topic of gun control has been controversial for years about how it causes more violence, more murders, homicides, etc. The main thing that is being fought about is whether or not gun regulations should be tightened. It is a big controversy whether or not if the law is made more strict then murders and other violence related to firearms are going to be reduced. tightening gun regulations will affect none of these things.

The founding fathers created this country on certain rights and ideals that shape our laws and government today. These rights and privileges were written down and kept in the bill of rights as amendments. The amendments are the laws that our country was made on and are still in effect today. One of these amendments is the right to bear arms. Meaning the right to own and use guns and other weapons. This is a big topic of discussion today because it is said to be a danger to the American people, but many others believe that it is our basic right to be able to defend our homes and our families.

The government has the responsibility to protect people. Currently, the gun violence has threatened the American public safety, people used gun to kill many people for their own interests. The United States constitution believes Americans have their own gun to protect themselves. Some people said guns will protect their life easily. Whether, America should have strict gun control laws or not bring about the debate in society.

Ever since 1364 when the first account of a firearm was recorded humans have wanted to control guns. Gun control would eventually travel with Columbus when he first came to America and set up the first colony called Jamestown. And there would be rules regarding weapons on the Mayflower compact.

Because of many incidents involving handguns, and any other type of gun, the government has been trying to push a gun ban law. As a result of this rumor and possible law, there have been numerous outbursts of support and resistance. Some people believe that banning firearms would be a benefit to our nation’s safety and its population’s safety, while others oppose this proposal and say that guns are not the ones that need to be controlled, people should be the ones that are controlled. During this decision, people from different organizations have expressed their own views and thoughts. Gun control has both positive and negative effects on U.S. citizens.

Our founding father gave American citizens the right to bear arms, but was that the best idea or was it even the safest idea? Many Americans today own a gun and the majority use their gun in a safe manner. However, when the gun was first invented, it was intended to kill whether that be hunting, self-defense, or in battle. The gun is still to this day intended to kill and will always hold that purpose. Americans were given the right to bear arms in a time of need during the end of the revolutionary war, where there was still opposition from loyalists, in the early years of the country. Over the past two centuries, guns have become more advanced way beyond any beliefs of the founding fathers. Guns in America are not benefiting society but

The right to bear arms across all states by citizens trained in the handling of such weapons would produce a superior nation, where protection and security would become a mere hands’ length away. Guns provide necessary protection against those who wish to harm others. For instance, imagine a shooting, where citizens have the power to protect both themselves and others from the assaulter with several precise shots, thus saving countless lives that would otherwise be lost. In the same situation, this time with defenseless citizens, the shooter freely kills the innocent, knowing that they have no means to oppose him, such as happened in San Bernardino and in France. Taking away the right to bear arms infringes the natural rights given to Americans

One major issue in the United States today is the freedom to bear arms. There are split beliefs on this issue. Some people are against people being permitted to have a firearm because guns kill people. Other people are for being permitted to have a firearm because guns do not kill people on their own. It is the person behind the gun pulling the trigger that kills a person. In this paper, I will discuss both sides of this huge, nationwide issue.

The right to bear arms is assured in the constitution by the Second Amendment. Liberals are attempting to alter the constitution by any mean necessary. They are trying to prohibit handguns and/or limit sales. Studies have proven that gun control could not stop people from carrying out crimes. During the development of this country, the Founding Fathers were establishing a system of government during the final drafts of the Constitution, many dreaded that a standing army, commanded by a centralized government would leave them abandoned without hope. The Constitution contained no checks-and-balances to forbid a standing army or permit states to make their own militias. The Constitution was signed by 39 men from the 12 states embodied at the

The Amendments are the rights to bear arms, Quartering troops in homes, and search and seizures. The Right to bear arms is something that there is mixed emotions about the subject. Some people believe some people should have the right to bear arms for protection reasons and for hunting. Then there are the people who think people should have guns unless they have history with guns, or have a mental disorder. Last but certainly not least the people who despise guns. They believe nobody should own any type of guns or weapon. The Bill of Rights protects people's right to own a gun. But there are something that they had to add that the Bill of Rights does not include such as have a conceal and carry license, or an open carry license and you cannot

Introduced to the New World in approximately 1607, firearms and America resemble siamese twins; you can’t have one without the other. Over time, guns have become a crucial part of American society, and to many, the ability to carry a firearm defines their liberties as a citizen. For example, without the ability to carry weapons freely, winning the American Revolution may not have been possible. But, on the contrary, many of the school shootings that occur in today's society could be prevented should the individuals that commit them be restricted to purchase a firearm. For negative reasons like that, the government has been forced to step in and try to regulate the average citizen’s right to carry a concealed weapon through the picking apart of the 2nd amendment and the addition of the Brady Bill in 1993. Because of this, many feel that by limiting their ability to carry weapons, the government is infringing upon their constitutional rights and civil liberties as an

On December 15, 1791 the United States ratified the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights. This ratification to the constitution gave the American people the unalienable right to bear arms: “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” (Acosta). In order for the country to remain free, the American people needed the right to protect themselves. This also meant from the government. The 2nd amendment gave the people the security that this right to bear arms could not be taken away by its government. It protected them from being taken over by a tyrannical government and gave
