Gun Rights In America Research Paper

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.

Some States in the United States are debating whether or not to set the Gun Control Law. Some people oppose this law while others support this it. I support the Gun Control Law. I support the law because their will be fewer suicides, less gun related deaths and people will less likely make attempts on shootings

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 is a very touchy subject. I don't believe that taking the guns away from the law abiding citizens is the correct way to go about this issue. The criminals are the ones not going thru the proper ways to buy a firearm. Right now there are 2 background checks that you go thru to buy a firearm. One is state and the other is federal. The Democrats believe there should be more background checks that potential gun owners should go thru. They also believe that banning certain guns and items for guns will help the issue. The most recent shooting was done with a handgun and a shotgun. There has been a big political debate over the gun control issue. How much is too much and how much is not enough? This is the real question. Some people feel

Gun laws and regulations in Florida control the sale, ownership, and use of firearms and ammunition in Florida.

The gun law controversy has been a public debate for the past few decades. With the current state of the nation, it is not uncommon to see mass shooting occur in schools, churches, and in public. The most recent current events would illustrate the use of these weapons can cause massive death rates: the church in Texas being attacked by an individual with a domestic abuse history, the country concert event in Las Vegas, even the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting and the death of children who could not defend themselves. As onlookers watch these events unfold, ideas of creating more laws to regulate guns arise and a national push for legislation to act is engaged. Countering this movement are those who would oppose more laws as the fear that rights would be trampled, and personal safety removed. The answer to this heated debate of strict gun control laws is not to take them away; they are put into place with the intent to govern the safety of our society.

In 2012, a 20-year-old man wearing war fighting equipment and number of weapons to force his way into a school in Newtown, Connecticut, and killed 26 teachers/children. That occasion followed two other crowd murders in 2012, an attack on an Aurora, Colorado, Movie Theater in which a murderer murdered twelve and wounded fifty eight more people, and an attack on a Sikh temple in Milwaukee in which six believers were shot to death and three others hurt.

Gun Control Gun Control has been a highly controversial issue in the United States for the past several decades. From assassinations to mass shootings, every time guns and violence come together the issue resurfaces. Should the nation act on stricter gun laws and legislation? Would new gun laws help or hinder the gun crime rate in the United States? The nation stands divided on the issue; both sides taking a firm stance as to what they believe should be done legislatively with guns. Gun control advocates state that the number ofand different types of guns in the hands of the American public is simply too great. There are an estimated two hundred and forty million guns in circulation across our nation made up of three hundred million citizens. Gun control advocates reason that more guns lead to more gun crime. They site the extremely tight gun laws in countries such as the United Kingdom and Japan and compare the gun number to gun violence ratio. The ratio in those countries is nearly one hundred times lower than that of the United States with .04 gun related deaths per one hundred thousand people compared to the United State’s 3.42 gun related deaths per one hundred thousand people. Furthermore, out of the fourteen deadliest mass shootings in the world, half of them have been committed in the United States. Even though there was a decline in gun related crimes during the 90’s, they have been on the rise since 2005. Currently, the United States ranks twelfth out of one

The issue of gun control in America is all about conflict between opposing viewpoints within the nation. The two main opposing groups are the NRA, who want freedom of firearms, compared to pro gun-control who want increased gun laws and control. Looking at this issue from the NRA’s point of view it shows they believe that every American should have the right to own a gun, whether this be for self protection or recreation. On the other hand, pro gun-control activists believe in safety and control of guns in America.

Whether or not there should be gun control in America is highly debated in the media today. Some people argue that gun control will reduce gun related violence, others argue it will have no effect. In the first article I read it argues that if regulations are placed on guns, than gun related violence will be reduced. I agree with this article and the evidence it provides.

There should be stricter gun laws in the United States. There have been 200 mass killings (four or more victims) in the U.S. since 2006 (Overberg, Paul, Meghan Hoyer, Mark Hannan, Jodi Upton, Barbie Hansen, and Erin. "BEHIND THE BLOODSHED: THE UNTOLD STORY OF AMERICA'S MASS KILLINGS." USATODAY.COM). The only way to stop so many people from dying is by enforcing stricter gun laws. It’s important to have strict gun laws because it saves families, and makes this nation a safer place.

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.

Civil liberties, as denoted in the Bill of Rights, had limited the government’s actions by providing “freedoms from” the government. Because the government could not take away the people’s rights, the Bill of Rights listed “thou shalt nots,” which “limit[ed] its [the government’s] jurisdiction” (Lowi pg. 107). A famous substantive limitation, or a restriction against what Congress could do, was, and is, the establishment clause, or the separation between Church and State. As the first component of the First Amendment, the establishment clause impedes the government’s ability from establishing a national Church; consequently, due to religious persecution in England in the 1700’s, the establishment clause serves to protect the citizens from the possible tyranny of religion by permitting the accommodation of all religions through assistance and by not allowing the government to show “no favoritism”. Therefore, the United States refers to God on “U.S. currency”

Living a life in America, we all get to have all the rights that included in the Constitution. One of those was the Second Amendment which is the rights to bear arm, the purpose was to protect ourselves from danger but nowadays a lot of people have take advantage of it and use it in the wrong way. I believe our government need to have a strict limit on guns possession.
