Gun Restrictions

There has been many controversies around the world claiming that America’s gun laws are out of date and that it violates the Second Amendment. Although to back this up German Lopez from Vox states that, America is known for having some of the weakest gun laws in the entire world. He also states that making it easier to obtain a gun, will end up making things a whole lot worse (Lopez). Firearms are not something to be played with, and being able to get them with just a click of a button or walking into a gun show does not make the people around the world feel any better about the situation.

Around 10% of guns used in crime were either sold at a gun show or a flea market. Anybody of age can go to a gun show, purchase a gun from an unlicensed distributor and go about their day, no background check, no mental health check. Though, in recent events, Nikolas Cruz purchased his gun at the age of eighteen from someone who had their license to sell. He passed his background check easily because he had no criminal background but no one knew he was depressed, had ADHD, and autism, no one knew until after a horrendous incident that cost people their lives. I read in a Gun Control FAQ, the Gun Control Act of 1968 says anyone in the business of selling guns must be licensed by the government, but it doesn’t say anything about unlicensed men and women selling their guns from their personal collection is not “engaged in the business”, this means that they don’t have to perform background checks, anyone will do anything for some extra money. A simple loophole like this one can land a gun into the hands of a

The past few years America has seen an undeniable rise in mass shootings and other acts of gun violence. With each act of violence that brings the nation into a state of fear for their safety, it leads people to ponder on the place the nation is currently at with gun control and the actions the government is taking to improve the unstable ground it currently stands on. Even with the public’s attention and consideration on devastating shootings, there has been a lengthy tug-of-war between those who actively promote more gun control laws and those who oppose them, with gun control activist repeatedly losing the battle. Those that understand the benefits the expansion of gun control would bring should join and take a stand, particularly for national

There should be guidelines set to insure the safety of our society before the gun is purchased. There should be a safety test given before the gun could be purchased. A test to show that the owners know how to properly use the gun. It is a requirement to take a test to show your ability before you get your drivers license, why not a before you buy a gun? There should also be a class taught teaching the proper storage of a gun. Teaching to keep the gun in a locked cabinet with the key in separate area. And the three to five day waiting period should remain.

Anyone at the right age can purchase a weapon if a background check is passed, but it only checks for any past crimes committed so a previous criminal offense will prevent a person from purchasing a weapon but it doesn't check for any signs for a potential criminal. But if there was more of a control on who can purchase a

At the moment only 9 out of the 50 states in our country have universal background checks This isn’t even ⅕ of our population. Unlicensed gun sellers do not require any form of background checks but would be forced to if there was a federal requirement. just in 2012 “a gunman killed three people, including his wife, and injured four others at a spa in Wisconsin, after buying a gun from a private seller he found online. The shooter was prohibited from purchasing guns due to an active domestic violence restraining order against him”

Whenever everyone gets to thinking about how many death occurs in the United States does anyone instantly think about a gun? The gun that everyone thinks about does not kill, the people that are using the gun usually kills. Guns have a safety switch on them which makes the gun a lot safer, but when the gun reaches the hands of a criminal the gun becomes very dangerous. Wandering the streets with a gun in your hand does not mean pull it up and just automatically start shooting everyone. Putting more gun restrictions on everyone does not help prevent dangerous things from going on it only makes it become more dangerous for us, because we would not have any protection from the bad guys. (Pratt). There should not be anymore restrictions on guns in the United States, because innocent people are dying every day, it would not decrease the mass shootings, and the 2nd amendment would be misinterpreted.

The rise in cases of gun violence and related incidences of assault has drawn the public to the issue of guns and gun control. Such has been evident within the spheres of politics especially with the last election period seeing the incumbent president Donald Trump suggesting on stringent gun control laws. However, despite the acknowledgment of the need to have better gun laws, much ground and consensus has never reached. Such, to an extent, contributed to the current lack of political goodwill within the country to have the necessary legislations enacted to facilitate the same on the controls (Grandy 23). Of the guns under question are the assault rifles. Like the military weapons, assault rifles have a destructive potential to causing

Gun control has a history dating back to 1791, when the Second Amendment of the Constitution was ratified. However, more recently, the debate over gun control has escalated into a much more public issue to which many citizens can relate. After all, stories about incidents involving guns appear frequently today in newspapers and on television or the radio. One could say that the debate started with the passage of the Gun Control Act of 1968, which banned ownership of guns by certain groups of people and regulated the sale of guns. Since then, two main groups have gradually appeared: people who oppose strict federal

In the United States of America, we as citizens have the right to bear arms, provided to us by the second amendment to the U.S. constitution, and are part of the United States Bill of Rights. Most American’s still believe that it is our right to bear arms, while a growing number of Americans believe that there should be better gun control regarding this matter. A rising trend has begun on Capitol Hill and all around the United States, which is to rally for better gun control. Although many tragedies have occurred due to improper gun control, many more have been obviated due to the courage of lawful gun carriers. Do we, as a prosperous nation, give up

America's Gun control laws should be more strict in regulating the availability of firearms. The lenient gun control laws in America cause a higher risk of criminals committing acts of violence with guns, rather than preventing them. It is not difficult to buy guns in America. Background checks for purchasing firearms only take minutes, but when purchasing a gun from a gun show it is not

Gun Control has been an issue that has been brought to the public’s eyes in recent years. This main issue has been going on for many years, for example when John F. Kennedy was assassinated; it raised public awareness to the lack of control on sales and also possession of guns in America. Until 1968 guns were available over the counter in stores and through mail catalogs to just about any adult in America. This was an example of how loosely guns were regulated which bring us back to the issue of guns. The constitution tells us in the second amendment that we, as American Citizens, have the right to bear arms. But the government is trying to change that by regulating everything to do with owning a gun. My stance: Gun

Did you know that a large percent of kids have their first smartphone in elementary school? Many underage elementary schoolers are owning smartphones. The number of elementary school students owning a smartphone has increased a lot since 2012. When kids don’t have phones they can do much more than sitting, playing games, and searching the internet. Instead, they can play outside with their friends like normal elementary students. Overall, elementary schoolers shouldn’t have smartphones.

There are two different models of health of which will be looking at the bio medical model and social model of health, there are numerous models and explanations that highlight biological as well as social and psychological processes (Naidoo and Wills, 2008; Aggleton, 1990).

The legality of having guns and possessing firearms in the United States of America is well engraved within the Second Amendment of the nation’s constitution. However, the issue of gun regulation has remained a central topic in America’s public. Some people advocate for a total ban on gun possession, while others are totally against this idea. The shooting incident in Las Vegas weeks ago has raised controversial debates in the United States of America. In fact, the White House is concerned on the stand that President Trump will take on the issue of stricter gun laws. One of the cities that has gained the attention of both the legislators on this topic is Chicago. For its reputation for its low rate of gang arrests, lax punishments for gun law violations, and comparatively weak laws in accordance with surrounding states, it is justifiable to say that Chicago’s daily shootings are a clear indicator that strict state gun laws don’t work.
