Gun Violence Means

The situation of gun control has been an issue for many years. The Second Amendment states that we as citizens have the right to bear arms and to protect ourselves. When the Constitution was first made the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is the heart of the issue of gun control. It also states "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". The states declared that the Amendment was only created to allow the government to bear arms. The way it reads though is that it grants the rights of all people to bear arms. There have been cases brought before the Supreme Court that has fought the right to bear arms and used the amendment to protect their rights. The government does not have the right to take away the guns from the people but is able to control the manufacturing, sales, and possessions of guns.

Countless opinions have been broadcasted on national news media regarding what society ought to do about gun control. This controversial topic sparks many heated debates with people of either position reluctant to compromise. Gun supporters claim that the proposed gun laws infringe on their constitutional right to bear arms. Conversely, others believe that restricted gun access would cause gun violence to decrease. Regardless of what side one stands on, with the increase in gun violence, it is safe to say that something must be done.

Across the United States of America a debate rages on daily, that debate is whether or not to allow the public to obtain and operate firearms. The right to bear arms has been fused together with American culture for hundreds of years. Many advocates for gun control are against citizens of the United States being able to possess and operate firearms, even though it is a necessary evil and is a right of every man and woman across the country. Gun control in the United States is a dangerous topic but one that needs to be addressed. American citizens have the right to bear arms, and the evidence is there to prove that it can be done effectively and safely.

Throughout the years there has been an ongoing debate over the Second Amendment and how it should be interpreted. The issue that is being debated is whether our government has the right to regulate guns. The answer of who has which rights lies within how one interprets the Second Amendment. With this being the case, one must also think about what circumstances the Framers were under when this Amendment was written. There are two major sides to this debate, one being the collective side, which feels that the right was given for collective purposes only. This side is in favor of having stricter gun control laws, as they feel that by having stricter laws the number of crimes that are being

American citizens have been given a right to firearms, and this right should not be infringed. Opponents of this right to firearms argue that, citizens should not be allowed the right to firearms. Their main reason is that, it will help curb violence cases by guns. This has been challenged because; criminals will still acquire firearms illegally and continue terrorizing citizens because, they are fully aware that, they are not armed. Moreover, according to Winkler (89), “Guns do not kill people; it is people who kill people,” and so, denying citizens the right to own guns will not stop any violence. Likewise, the society will not be safe as there will be an increase in violence and criminal activities because the citizens have no firearms to defend themselves.

In today’s world terrible things happen around every corner. It’s human’s nature for us to try to force all this evil onto something. Society has been aiming all the blame on guns and that’s how it’s been going for the past couple years. However is this the right decisions society is try to make? Or is it just human nature being afraid once again? Blaming guns for gun violence is like blaming a baby for crying. It cannot be controlled. Guns are merely tools used for killing, as are many other things but guns are the only thing that makes the news. Society needs to stop placing blame on the guns and place it on the

According to statistics provided by the Department of Justice, in 2014 African-American males aged 15-34 - 3 percent of the population - committed 33 percent of violent crimes in America. African-American people as a whole, despite only being 13 percent of the population committed just under 55 percent of violent crimes in America for 2014. Alarming statistics have come out about the violent nature of African-America people in America and around the world since the 1950’s. Crime happens everywhere and its perpetrators are worldwide. When it comes to crime there are basically 3 arguments as to why it happens and how it happens. This first one says that crime is necessary evil. The argument says that crime “strengthens group cohesion” it makes

In this world today, there is a big problem with mass shootings happening more often. People tend to blame guns more than they do the people doing the crime. Some even say the Second Amendment should be altered or abolished. Everyone has a right to express their opinion on things, but sometimes in serious situations like this we need to really understand what the problem is and not make things any worse than they already are. Yes, guns do have a big part in mass shootings, but they aren’t the only problem in the situation.

To control gun violence it is necessary that the requirements to own guns are made more thorough, the right to concealed carry and open carry is ensured, and a grater punishment be made for the illegal distribution of firearms. These three simple changes include points and reforms that meet both pro gun and pro gun control activists’ demands.

It is time our country moves away from no gun zones. The laws clearly do not work. Criminals flock to places that prohibit guns because they know everyone is unarmed making it easy for them to carry out their plan. Also as citizens of the United States we have rights. We need to protect the U.S. Constitution and our 2nd Amendment right “to keep and bear arms”. A arms society is a polite society because law abiding citizens can protect themselves and others from

Should the mere fact that criminals committing crimes with the use of guns infringe the national right of the innocent to possess guns. This is a question that arouses everywhere and no matter which way it is viewed the controversy will always go on. "A gun is a mere tool that can be used for good or evil. Our country is based on the belief that man is good until he or she is proven to be otherwise."(Harris p.2) This means that only a few people are committing crimes with uses of guns and why completely remove them from society. Therefore, we should strenuously protect the rights of free men and likewise prosecute and punish the criminals who abuse the rights of others. The problem with gun violence is associated with the

The topic of gun violence is one the most debatable subjects to the U.S citizen. On one hand people say that we should all carry guns around for protection, while on the other hand people say we should ‘t due to the harm they can cause when used in threatening ways like shootings etc. I believe both arguments are valid, But I think there is one way to please both sides.

Allowing the general public to carry a gun shifts the balance of power if the aggressor is unarmed or chose to use a knife to carry out their crime. Even in this situation, the fact of the matter remains that violence with a gun would still be committed, even if it is someone protecting themselves from a criminal; ultimately someone would still be shot and killed. Gun control is a without a doubt a very intense issue whis should be dealt with in a way that is conducive to the environment that we as Americans currently live in. We live in an age where everyone (children included) have access to and use guns to settle what should be simple arguments/ disagreements. Bullied children, disgruntled employees and at the current moment, individuals with different religious beliefs are using guns to get their point acorss or spread mass hysteria amongst those individuals that “hurt their feelings” or disagree with their point of view. With this existing dilemma, do we blame the gun or do we blame the people that have the

Our country has always believed in a citizens right to own a gun. It is a principle that is so important to our country, that it is listed as the second of twenty-seven constitutional amendments. Gun control is a subject of great controversy that carries many true and false claims. Many people believe our second amendment rights are being attacked, and that the government wants to take our guns away. It is my belief that Obama does not want to take our guns, but future administrations may use laws made today to do just that in the future. As more gun related tragedies occur in our country, the question has become "How can we reduce gun violence in our county?", as opposed to "How can we take

The right to bear arm is a constitutional guarantee, and is not open for discussion; however the United States government has used its power to limit and regulate this guarantee. Our government has been attacking this right for year, and like a covert terrorist organization, it denies its action. Pretending that they just want to limit the right to bear arms is their blanket of protection. They will slowly move from under that protection only when the nation I ready to accept the loss of this right and when it doesn’t appear to be huge a movement to give up that right. At some point of the future, the right to bear arm will be so limited that it will just be a natural move to ban firearms altogether.
