Ever since I was little, I’ve wanted to be a soldier. Whether I am a pilot, a surgeon, or an operative, I’ve romanticized the idea of being a soldier with its grind and grueling conditions as part of a higher purpose. Rather than just taking orders, I would rather assume leadership and work with those who I command to get things done. That’s not because I like giving orders to people and micromanaging; it’s time-consuming, prone to mistakes, and ineffective. It is always best to have faith in people. Not blind-faith, nor a lack of it. Therefore if I am to be a soldier, I’d rather be an officer. In the field, in the action, but a part of the decision-making. Though that brings me to the question of why America? Why bear arms to uphold the values of the United …show more content…
If I wanted to kill people or just fight without getting punished for it, I would become a mercenary and make more money in the process, but that lacks the purpose, discipline, order, and brotherhood found in the U.S. military. The fact that I can think, believe, say, and do what I want as long as it doesn’t hurt others in this country, permanently anchors my loyalty and love for this country. I may be a second-generation immigrant. I may be labeled as Muslim-American or Turkish-American. But ultimately I am an American. All of us here were once immigrants. Whether two generations ago, or fifteen generations ago, we all, at one time, immigrated to this land, which has yielded bountiful blessings to all who chose to call it their home. I owe more to this country than the people who came before me. Those who have come here generations ago may have paid their debt over generations. But since my family has only been here for a quarter of a century, we owe more. My father is a law-abiding citizen who pays his taxes and votes, I must follow in his footsteps and do even more to serve MY
"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." This is the Second Amendment; the amendment that has split a nation due to differentiating opinions. The right that the amendment grants, that is so controversial, is “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms.” This is the statement that creates the factions of the confrontation. The faction that has the most traction in their argument is the pro-gun faction. They argue that the second amendment protects the other nine.
On the day of the beginning of 2016, Texas Government legalized the citizen to carry a gun to public under Open Carry law. Supporters said, the carry gun to public would help to prevent and reduce crime, but I don't believe it. I think this law makes the job of the security more difficult: how does police officer distinguish between good people and bad people? How the police can keep security in an area where people have guns and are protected to use it? Police officer still encounter such dilemmas, how about citizen to face with these above situations? Thus, many people will choose to fend for themselves and their families by buying a gun and bring it out to the public like everyone else in order to feel less dangerous. Consequently, a number
The right to bear arms is a fundamental right of the United States, one granted by the second amendment, the only thing more important is freedom of speech. Easily our protected right to guns is what sets our nation apart. Why would a government want to control the people it governs? Why do the actions of some people create an issue over a tool and not the people who are using that tool unjustly? The last time I checked a gun can’t fire or even load itself. Guns don’t kill people; people kill people. Their choice of method is the only variable. Instead of focusing on the easy to answer method or how we should investigate the much more elusive why. If we can begin to answer that question perhaps society can get them the help they need before
Our second amendment, what does it state? Our second amendment allows us as Americans the right to bear arms, a firearm that is. Firearms are very useful tools for a lot of people. They help allow many families to eat, protect themselves, and allow for exciting and fun hobbies. There are many different types of firearms, many uses for firearms, and both good and bad that firearms can bring.
Guns have been used for many years throughout history. I’m here to prove that statement is false and in fact that more guns are proven to decrease crime rates, however it is the use of gun control laws passed by the federal government, and states that have seen an increase of gun related crimes. Throughout this essay, is will focus on reports, news articles, and academic studies written out by law professors on how gun control laws actually affect crime rates, if people feel safer with more guns, and how states of seen an increase or decrease in their crime rates with none of many gun control measures.
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
They store their gun out-of-reach as a safety bumper for curious hands, but this adds steps and time to ‘gun readiness’. It is not an ideal solution in the event of a home invasion, nor does it guarantee that accidents won’t happen.
Violence is a big problem around the world, and there are many issues related to this subject. A big debate that is happening at the United States of America nowadays, is about the rights of people to have guns. Many countries have several gun policies, and does not allow citizens to carrying fire guns, or even keep them into their houses. That is not the case at the U.S., the Second Amendment of their Constitution guarantees that right to American people, by saying: “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.”
Firearms in the United States have always been very controversial, no matter what regulations we have put in the past, there is always something new. When a firearm is found at a crime scene, it is most likely the weapon or one of the weapons used to commit the crime or a killing. Firearms evidence is usually encountered in crimes against persons such as homicide, assault and robbery; but may also be found in other crimes such as burglary, rape, and narcotics violations. The first step into processing the firearm would be taking pictures and videos of the area and position the firearm was found at. The firearm is not to be touched with any bare hands or moved before pictures are taken. Safety is always the first concern if a gun or firearm goes off on anyone if the safety isn’t on. If the firearm is considered or known to be unloaded, it may be picked up with gloves on, and transported safely where it needs to go. If it is loaded, it should then be unloaded, with care taken to preserve all types of possible evidence.
Everyday, there is a shooting in our nation. People die from these horrific events but what if you are in a situation to where you have to protect yourself. The only way you could protect yourself is with a conceal carry. Guns do provide safety for personal defense and should only be used in threat of life or property which the NRA strongly enforces.
Dallas, Texas. Santa Monica, California. Newtown, Connecticut. We turn on the T.V. and instantly see grieving. Families are torn apart because of a bullet. This doesn’t happen once in a while, it’s almost every other week. Yet the gun laws in America seem to get looser. The influence of the gun lobbies is so strong that people tend to overlook everything all of the violence right in front of their eyes. The republicans and those in favor of the gun lobbies blame it on mental illnesses, extremists and terrorists. And those who do want to see a change struggle to make their voices heard. The cry of, “Black Lives Matter,” rings around the community, but few seem to notice. It soon changes to, “Blue
Also another thing that go along the lines of gun violence and gun control is practicing gun safety. Gun safety is the rules and recommendations that are intended to avoid accidental discharge, negligent discharge, or the consequences of firearm malfunctions. The purpose of gun safety is to eliminate or minimize the risks of unintentional death, injury or damage caused by improper possession, storage, or handling of firearms. There were 47,000 unintentional firearm deaths worldwide in 2013
“Conceal and Carry.” These three words stir up much controversy between people, states, and even Capitol Hill as the pursuit of righteousness within this topic is still a mystery to lots of people. Many, about 56% of Americans (Howell), believe that those who conceal and carry are much safer than those who walk around empty handed with no weapon to defend themselves. This was one of many polls released by Gallup that ask the people of America what they thought of conceal and carry permits. As a result of this controversy, many other laws and obstacles have arose to make conceal and carry harder to achieve, and almost impossible for criminals to achieve a permit. For example, Kellen Howell states
The image you choose explains everything about how access to mental health is difficult while obtaining gain is simple and almost possible to everybody. The worst part is anybody have access to buy a gun without any background check about his mental status or any other criminal history. Also, people can purchase gun online almost without any question. I believe there must be a strict law regarding about obtaining guns, and people with mental illness should be protected for their own safety and
National Security means different things relating to different people. The safety of all Americans should be one of the top priorities in this economy. National Security is needed for obvious reasons as there has been an increase in terrorism both domestic and foreign in this country since the terrorist attack on 9/11. National security is very paramount ant without it the economy would be in danger. In order to triumph over this view, we must make profitable use of all our devices in our economy. National security ranges from different forms such as political security, economic security, Homeland security, Human security, and Cyber security.
