Gun Laws Should Not Be Banned

In America, guns have done great harm to society. Guns have been culprits to many different types of shootings such as Charleston, which was a shooting in a church, Sandy Hook, which was responsible for the deaths of twenty young children and six adult staff members, and the shooting in Aurora, Colorado during a midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises which resulted in the deaths of twelve innocent people. These are just three we listed here. How many times have there been news of another shooting? It’s like, everytime we turn on the news, we see another shooting that occurred. It doesn’t take a lot for one to notice that the current gun laws haven’t been working. The evidence which we all see daily in the news

Gun control is a very controversial topic that has has a huge impact on the United States of America. One side believes that if guns were taken away as a whole, the country would see significantly less gun related crimes and death, while the other opposing side thinks that taking away guns is not only against the Second Amendment but would lead to an increase in crime and death because the government would take guns away from people who are legally registered to own and conceal guns. The ongoing debate will continue until the foreseeable future but their are plenty of reasons why more gun laws should be made. Taking away guns is not the answer, learning how to deal with gun violence is the key.

Did you know you are 4 times more likely to be killed with a knife or other cutting instrument than you are by a rifle or a shotgun? Gun rights and gun control are always hot items during any political discussion, whether it is between peers or politicians. One of the many great advantages to being an American is the ability to choose for one's own self what to believe in. Another advantage, in my opinion, is the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Laws should not restrict gun rights because first, it would infringe the second amendment, second, guns are a part of our culture, and finally, if guns were outlawed, citizens of the U.S. would become vulnerable.

Gun violence in the United States is higher than ever, and criminals with guns will “…kill as many as 1000 people each day” (Alpers&Wilson). Taking this into perspective, it is only right to fight fire with fire or, in this case, use a gun to protect yourself and those around you. Gun control does not only decrease the ability for protection, it also decreases our rights as U.S citizens. The constitution clearly states that we are given the right to bear arms, meaning we may carry fire arms. Even if we have stricter laws for guns, it will not stop killers from shooting innocent people. These men and women causing damage to the lives of numerous individuals do not care if there is a law banning guns, because all they truly want to do is

The first thought that comes to mind when most people think of “handguns” is death. A handgun is described as a firearm that can be held with one hand, such as a revolver or a pistol. Because of it’s size a handgun can be easily concealed and therefore one of many weapons used in violent crimes particularly within inner city communities. Will banning handguns decrease crime? Should handguns only be carried by law officials and military personnel? Handguns do not kill people; “people kill people”. In this article I will address the above questions and express why I feel handguns should not be banned.

In light of recent tragedies like San Bernardino, Aurora Colorado, Sandy Hook Elementary and many other mass shootings. The heated debates over how much and what kinds of gun control the country needs are beginning to come up in the news again. Companies, politicians, and anti-gun activists are calling for a total and complete seizure and ban of all firearms (citation). But what they truly don’t know is that gun control flat out doesn’t work.Bans on assault weapons like the AR-15, AK-47, FN SCAR, and the Saiga 12 just to name a few. As well as restrictions on handgun sales, magazine sizes, and calibers all do nothing to stop gun violence in America. Honestly how can people think that the only way to protect the people is by taking away their

“Gun Control”, pertains to laws dealing with the use of firearms in America. Whether one believes it or not, guns are trying to become outlawed in America, due to an out number of killings and other crimes. As the Bill of Rights states “ A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms should not be infringed” [160]. Many argue that if more citizens were armed, the crime rate would dramatically drop. Guns to become illegal in America does not need to happen, in order to not start unnecessary problems. Gun control laws will not eliminate crime, only gun owners can eliminate crime.

According to my point of view banning handguns by different gun control legislations is not an answer because banning handguns fails to give protection to individuals in light of the fact that the laws are insufficient, banning handguns keeps individuals from a successful method for self-defense, and the laws don't tackle the genuine issue, which is the firearm owner. I believe these are not the guns that kill people but these are peoples who kill other peoples. Banning the guns is not a solution for the problem. There is no decrease in crimes and violence rates in country even we have applied very strict gun control laws. So I am against the gun control legislations and I believe that people should be allowed to carry guns for their self defense.

It is critical that we stand up to what we believe in, especially when it comes to gun laws. Gun laws are a very important thing for us.

Guns do not kill people, people kill people. Guns are not the problem in today’s society. Criminals will kill regardless of gun control. Before guns were created, people were killing people. Yes a gun is a deadly weapon and yes people are killed from gun related incidents everyday, but guns do not have the ability to harm any one on their own. It is true that some of the largest mass murders have been shootings. Many tragedies have occurred because of one person with a gun (Refuting). However, those murderers would not have been stopped if a good guy with a gun didn’t stop them. If the police wouldn’t have stopped many of these killers, they would have continued to kill more people. It is known that many of these mass murders have occurred in gun-free zones. The Sandy Hook shooting happened on school grounds, Virginia Tech and Columbine also on school grounds, and Colorado movie theater shooting all

If guns are outlawed would people be protected? What would happen to the people who need to hunt to acquire food to live? Would outlawing guns really help people or would it just cause more defenseless people? Do that many people even have guns anyway? Have any laws been passed before and have they worked? Having much stricter gun laws or completely banning guns would help America more than it would hurt it. While laws for guns have been developed ever since the early 12th century, many would not fit the needs and development of the human race now. “One of the first documents to link the bearing of arms with a militia (an army composed of citizens called to action in time of emergency) was the English Assize of Arms of 1181, which directed

Guns have been used in a multitude of ways: wars won, as a way to eat/survive, and to keep our country remaining “The Land of the Free”. The debate of outlawing guns has been going on for a while and guns should not be outlawed. If guns became outlawed, there would be next to no source of protection in the home. Next, hunting: for food or sport would be utterly impossible; which would cause a change in lifestyle for many people. However, the outlawing of guns would have its perks; if guns were outlawed there would be more aluminum availability.

There have been problems with gun laws in the past. Most of them are ineffective or they never get passed. Recently, gun laws have been surfacing around the news. President Barack Obama wants to ban certain guns and attachments, but Obama is taking the wrong approach. Instead of banning guns outright, which he cannot do because it is our second amendment right to own guns, he should approach reducing gun violence in a different way. Here is a quote from John Ashman saying that eliminating certain guns does not stop gun violence: "All firearms by nature are deadly, so eliminating certain kinds of firearms doesn 't directly address the issue in any meaningful way" (Ashman para. 2). This is why we need to take a different view from just banning guns. I 'm here to propose a better bill that will affect our citizens for a long period of time. This bill will decrease gun violence in the United States without taking guns out of the equation. Gun laws that are ineffective have had a large impact on this age. More school shootings and more violence has happened due to the horrible laws in place. The laws are not stopping any violence at all. Try imagining people getting murdered with guns, the shooter with total disregard for life. He brutally shoots people many times to release his frustration upon the world. This is why we need better laws to stop this kind of tragedy from happening. People can get easy access to guns anywhere in the United States. The problem is that someone

Guns should not be forbidden! Firearms provide people a sense of protection, many people seem to feel safer if firearms are being contained in the house , although about 40% of people both male and female disagree with this. The race that believes in this the most is the white race at 45%, then followed up by hispanic race at 34%, finally the blacks at a 32%. These are just statistics but more studies show different results. People argue with the fact that the police can protect us. Other people say that this is partially true mainly because the police are not able to everywhere at once so this is why some people take it upon themselves to get guns and use it to protect their loved ones from harm. Many people say that forbidding guns will stop shootings. Although this might be true how would this stop a criminal from buying a weapon. When what they are doing is also illegal? Guns should be forbidden? If that happens what else will criminals think of to kill innocent people, before guns had been put into easy access many of the killings we due to bomb explosions. Guns being forbidden would be in good desires but it won 't cause good things to happen,this might even cause an (angrily fight against unfair authority) among the people. These reasons are why many people argue about blocking/forbidding guns because it provides a sense of protection and freedom, people get this sense of freedom because they are being legal and owning weapons used for protections although some people

How would you feel if someone was taking away your right to own a house you would be angry right, well this is happening now with all of the people trying to ban guns completely. I believe that guns should not be banned completely but have more protocol, regulations and get rid of the gun-show loophole. In the upcoming chapters, I will be explaining reasons why I don't believe guns should be banned with data to back it up.
