Gun Ownership
Though not specifically an identity, gun ownership may also play a role in the division of each side of the gun debate. This makes sense since gun owners are more likely to be advocates for gun rights. According to Wolpert and Gimpel, gun owners are 22.8%-33% more likely to oppose a ban on handguns and 11.7%-17% more likely to oppose a waiting period for the purchase of firearms compared to non-gun owners (1998). Before looking into the reasons why individuals possess a firearm, it is important to highlight that the typical gun owner is a white male with an individualistic and republican perspective.
There are many reasons cited as to why individuals own a gun. The most common reasons rely on recreation and protection. According
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
“The right to bear arms”, an amendment so prioritized by our founding fathers that it earned the very second spot on the list of birth rights as Americans. However, with constant tragedies striking the United States, such as massacres in public high schools and universities, mall shootings, and attempted assassinations on state representatives, it’s no wonder law makers are constantly debating the topic of gun control.
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
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
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
In this section the author talks about the Second Amendment how it is strangely phrased and for most of American history, its meaning was thought to be somewhat murky. “A well-regulated militia composed of the body of the people, being the best security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
There is a debate that is going on over the Gun Control laws and background checks. Many people have different views across the country on the issue. I am completely with the choice to make it a lot harder for people to obtain any weapons. I would support laws So making sure that gun storesthey would have to do further looking into people's backgrounds and mental states. AuthoritiesPeople would have to make sure that they enforce the laws not just change them. I think this would be a very good choice and would help cut down on some of these mass shooting from happening. I think it would encourage the American people to start getting involved and help out and report anything they can to help stop any violence.
Gun control is a really serious problem that the united state need to do something about.
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.
I think that you should be able to have guns in public because you have to be able to protect yourself from threats, if not you are unable to protect yourself or anyone very effectively. Also have you realized that before gun control there were not nearly as many problems and worries about school shootings bomb threats and all that stupid stuff. I don't believe that taking away guns and weapons from public areas shouldn’t be allowed and isn't it said that in the constitution that you have the right to bear arms so why can't you have them in public I just don't understand what they hope to accomplish. Constantly I can hear people complaining about how the government
Say the words, “Gun free society.” How does it make you feel? Does it make you feel safe? Does it sound sensible? Can you imagine a world where hundreds of innocent people do not die by the bullets of guns every year? The United States posses most of the world’s gun, also, these guns fall into the wrong hands such as, mentally ill, children, and abusive people. Indeed, the change will be strenuous, however, a world where our children can experience peace and live without fear is a world that is worth fighting for. In fact, it is a world that we all deserve right now. Overall, if we yearn to end gun violence, it is essential that we urgently ban automatic
Guns, they have come a long way since the muzzleloaders our founding fathers first used, but does that change what they are or what they represent? Many people think that our modern technology needs to be regulated by the government. Members of our government agree with these people, using such terms as implied powers as there excuse for trying to hack away at our Second Amendment rights. Our government should not make gun laws more strict, it not only goes against our constitutional rights but also puts civilians in harm of violent crimes such as murder and mass shootings.
Should there be any type of gun control in the U.S.? Seeing what has been happening around the country with the school shootings, there should be some type of control over weapons. A control that has safety into it so people won't be harmed or feel unsafe. A lot of people may disagree with me but it would help a lot with the school shootings and any other harmful or life taking events.
Although gun restrictions have made it harder for people to obtain guns, Gun Restrictions won't stop murder because Bumb Stocks are extremely pointless. The mass shooting that took place in Las Vegas was caused by a bump stock. The shooter had multiple guns with lots of ammo. True fact, Jarry Miculek is the world's fastest shooter. The fore bump stocks don't matter , Assualt Weapons do not exist. Assault weapon are not the leading cause to murder. The number one cause to murders is handguns and blunt objects. The government tries to make assault weapons look scary and they do a good job of that, but assault weapons are truly not scary and they are not more dangerous then shotguns and they have handguns stronger than AR-15's.,
Today, the debate on owning a gun has many sides: there are many positives and negatives that come into play when talking about gun control. Gun control is a very controversial issue, however, with the right prevention steps one could relax knowing that the situation is finally being addressed. Most citizens have the right to have a gun other than felons. Felons have no rights to a gun and can not own or have one in their possession. Many people have their own feeling on guns on if they should have to be registered or not.
