Gun Laws in the United States

Significance: This topic is extremely significant because gun rights are under attack from many politicians in America, who are attempting to take protection out of the hands of the law-abiding citizens of this great country. Current laws in much of the country control what kind of gun people can and cannot own, as well as when and where they can carry them (if at all).

In contrast with these countries, Luxembourg has a complete ban on handguns but has nine times the crime rate.

In last time, our live characterized the problems not only in the political, social and economic spheres, but also criminal sphere. Crime in the United States remains one of the main problems of the country.

Life becomes dangerous and we need to be able to protect your family by yourself, your business, your property. Therefore so many people thinking about to buys guns and to have guns at home.

“The second amendment of The United States Bill of Rights is my concealed weapons permit, period.”- Ted Nugent. Saving lives one by one starts with limiting the purchase, sale, and use of guns in America. According to Alexander Lee, the political and social debate over the question of how much gun control is appropriate and it has been regularly discussed within the last decade. Shootings such as Sandy Hook, and Tucson shootings have raised the government’s awareness on guns and possible restrictions and regulations.

These laws include sell restrictions to the mentally disabled, the age in which you can obtain a gun, background checks, and dishonorably discharged military personnel.

Firearms seem to have such a strong impact on today’s society in America. However, since so many problems have arisen from these dangerous objects, many are calling for restrictions on what the American public can and cannot have as far as weaponry goes. For instance, an AK-47 is pointless to sell to the public if the main reason that people get weapons is to hunt! There is absolutely no reason that a deer needs thirty bullets shot straight through him to die. It only takes one bullet. Unless, of course, the animal had a bulletproof vest on and a six-inch thick shield of armor protecting it, which in that case, fire away!
