Should gun ownership be tightly controlled, why or why not? In my opinion gun ownership should be tightly controlled. Guns can be very violent and can cause major problems, so there should be restrictions on who can and cannot buy guns. There are already restrictions on who can and cannot buy a gun, but I think there needs to be a few more, because in the society we live in today there are many shootings going on causing a lot of people to loose their life.
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
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
“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.
Gun control is a law that controls how guns are sold and used, and who can own them. Allowing people to possess and use a gun with legal documents in the United States is legal. There have been arguments on whether or not is should be legal to own a gun as some people see it as beneficial and others do not. It is believed that guns are beneficial to have, and they are there because we need to be able to protect ourselves. We should not allow the government to have power over gun control for many reasons including the loss of tradition of hunting, not being able to protect ourselves, and simply because of the second amendment.
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
The issues of gun violence and crimes has been a major concern in the life of every American citizen. While these issues affect everyone, however black people especially black men and youths are more likely to be victims.With each passing day, the chances of living a normal life without fear of being killed or injured is becoming very difficult and impossible for black people in America.

As we know, the world has been suffering from a firearm injury epidemic. Law makers have tried to put in place certain measures that would prevent the risk of using firearm in restricted places. The U.S. citizens have their right by the constitution through the 2nd AMENDEMENT to carry a firearm which has defined, “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.2 3”. Sanders, Pattison, & John K. (2015), As U.S. citizens, well defines by the 2nd Amendement above we have the right to possess a firearm (Federal Law), but we also have to follow the laws from the State that we all live in. No matter which the law presents itself, there will still be a
Gun control; two words that have many people on the edge of their seats. One of the most controversial issues in America currently, and it comes up time and time again when another person is killed from gunfire. Some people believe the issue is a personal one. “Let me have my guns,” they say. The realistic questions to ask them in response are; where will you get “your guns?” How responsible are you? What is your intention with these guns? Have you ever committed a felony? These are not unreasonable questions. In most background checks these questions are asked. However, there are too many loopholes in the system for these checks to matter. The majority of people who have guns aren’t getting them from the black market; most are buying them legally. A lot of people often buy them at gun shows as well, where, “Gun-show organizers say private sellers typically disregard the laws.” (Tampa Bay Times) The ethical question here is this; Is it right to allow gun violence to continue when there are proactive laws that could be enacted to prevent it?
Gun control is a really serious problem that the united state need to do something about.
Every day in our country our citizens are faced with a huge epidemic of violence in their own streets, these streets have become a place where our elderly are beaten for their fixed income checks and their other sources of income, where smaller females are attacked and raped, where teen thugs shoot and kill each other for some “turf” to sell their illegal drugs, and finally where our small children are shot down in cold blood during drive by shootings. We try to ignore the fact that the criminals in our society and how they hurt it, but we shouldn’t. We should take the proper actions to stop these acts of crazy people in our society. And some brave enough people try, but the hard work of some misguided citizens attempt to stop the legal ownership
What worked for me in this assignment was researching and learning more about gun control. what i found challenging was that i didn 't know which sources to use for a majority of my information i used so i decided to break it up as evenly as possible. I don 't know how well i did on this assignment i do know that when i think i did great i tend to do bad. I feel sure about summarizing and compelling, but i don 't know if my research methods and strategies are working or are where they need to be. As i out pieces together the questions i have are will this sound as good to my peers as it does to me? Did i fully meet the requirements of my professors points of emphasis? Things along the lines of that. I would like to know
In the news today, there have been many shootings around the United States, putting the public in an uproar. Stricter gun laws will not solve the problem because criminals will still have guns. People should be able to protect their home.

How much is really known about gun deaths in the United States? Whether someone believes that people kill people, or guns kill people, it is a fact that both happen more often than we would like to admit. On average, 91 people in the U.S. die every day by guns (EveryTown). By enforcing gun laws or implementing new ones, the nation could reduce the number of gun related deaths and suicides per year. Additionally, it should be known that guns are rarely used in self-defense, and that guns often do not stop crime, but escalate situations and cause more death instead.
