Many Communities That Are Underdeveloped Run The Risk Of

Over the years the topic of gun control has turned out to be very polemic causing large debates, especially in the United States. A vast majority of people who are against gun control insist that is their right to own a gun mainly for self defense, while others who are for it, point out that it is not necessary to have access to certain guns like the military-style weapons therefore a ban should take place.

People who are for gun control believe there is not need for guns in today’s society. But for those who are for owning guns say they are a necessity for things such as hunting game in the wild, self-defense to a dangerous criminal, and it is part of the American culture. Also, those who are pro-gun believe that it 's their divine right to own and carry a firearm because of the second amendment

‘“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.”’ (“Gun Control”) Due to firearms, more than 30,000 people die in America every year. Mass shootings happen frequently and people die because of the lack of laws and their security. The United States needs better gun control laws because automatic assault rifles are easy to buy, the mentally ill can purchase guns, and many die from guns each year.

In the words of Dr. Suzanna Gratia Hupp ¨ A politician stands on the Second Amendment tells you how he or she views you as an individual… as a trustworthy and productive citizen, or as part of an unruly crowd that needs to be lorded over, controlled, supervised, and taken care of¨. Both the pro gun and anti gun movements raise some persuasive and plausible points about their sides. The anti gun movement has a history of an oppressive, racist and totalitarian way of trying to control people's right to bear arms which in no way prevented gun violence. The gun control movement as a whole doesn't care about protecting citizens but it instead wants to give the federal government more control over its citizens.

The role guns play in our society has long been debated on whether or not citizens have the right to own guns. There are those who believe that guns have no role in the hands of private citizens. Whereas there are those who believe that guns are the very foundation that protects our rights and liberties expressed in the Constitution. The debate is over whether or not there should be stricter laws preventing people to own guns. Though gun control and gun rights advocates share similar views on background checks and requirements, each have different views on the safety of guns and the Second Amendment meaning.

Gun ownership is embedded in the fabric of America. The United States has the highest gun ownership rate in the world with 88 guns per 100 people. This is a staggering amount of firearms in the U.S. which our forefathers would 've never imagined when writing the 2nd Amendment. The 2nd Amendment states that “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.” Not everyone interprets this right the same way. Regulating and restricting the use of these firearms brings up opposing sentiments from those in favor of gun control and those who oppose

The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protects the right of the people to possess armaments for their own defense—this is one of the biggest conservative ideology arguments that the anti-gun control side stands by. In addition, banning handguns prevents people from an effective means of

The starting point of violence takes place in communities and at home--not at school. Youth take what they hear and see at home and in their communities to school. The environment in some communities and households are positive and the presences of protective factors outweigh the high risk factors. However, there are communities and households where there is a lack of informal social control and high risk factors exist more than protective factors--, which affect youth in a negative manner.

The question of banning or permitting concealed guns evokes many more questions. According to Lott (2013), when the state legislative hearings were processed about concealed-handgun laws, the most usual concerns involved the problem of armed citizens who may possibly attack each other in the affected state that could follow car accidents, or even may accidentally shoot a dutiful police officer. However, the author argues, the evidence does not show the grounds for such fears: although 31 states have already had such concealed-handgun laws for many decades, there was only one case of a concealed handgun used in a shooting after a traffic accident. Moreover, that incident involved self-defense (Lott, 2013, p. 13).

The arguments of the anti-gun lobby are generally based on so-called "common-sense" and emotional pleading, with relatively few statistics backing up their claims. They argue that the Second Amendment to the Constitution is only giving the states the right to regulate militia activity and therefore possess and "bear" arms (Rowland 3). Some of the more extreme anti-gun lobby advocate repealing the Second Amendment altogether. Since the most extreme advocates of gun control wish to ban guns regardless of the Constitution, it becomes necessary to not just examine the law of the land, and the courts interpretation, but also the underlying philosophies of both sides of the debate.

There have also been references to second amendment that it states that the ownership of handguns rights are not protected, and that it should be easy to make a law to ban them(Roleff, 82). Another person also says that stricter laws on gun control is needed to ensure the safety and wellbeing of other citizens of the United States(Roleff, 144). Handgun control inc. also supports tough and stricter gun laws and states “waiting periods will reduce the number of criminals who obtain handguns”(Roleff, 153).

Gun control is one of the most talked about topics in modern day America. 43 of 50 states have the right to bear arms. Most states have to background check you in order for you to purchase or sell guns. Some other states prevent carrying guns and some other ban assault rifle weapons. People who support the gun laws say that the second amendment was meant for militias and that gun restrictions have always existed. People who oppose that say that guns are needed for self-defense from people who invade houses or are actual threats. Although both of those are correct, there will always be two sides for control laws.

As for some people you might be thinking, “well what is Pro-gun.” Pro-gun is favoring the right to own guns and carry guns. Why should people be allowed to have guns? The Second amendment is “The Right to Bear Arms”, then why take back an amendment. This amendment has protected families, individuals, and even strangers from being hurt physically. Have you guys realized that gun control laws do not deter crime, it’s those who own guns illegal” (Mark Gius Nov. 26, 2013). Guns are used for many good things in the world besides killing people. Not having gun can interfere with sports, hunting, and even protection lessons. . Did you know that the term assault weapon was made up by anti-gun legislators to make voters think that firearms are from a horror movie? (National shooting sports foundation.)

The second amendment, which was created in 1789 states the right for people to bear arms and it should not be breached. For this reason, I stand true to the fact that we have our right to keep our firearms. Not only do people like to use them for shooting ranges or hunting (which I do not agree with!) the main reason, many would state they bought a gun is for protection. In today’s world we witness an abundance of gut-wrenching tragedies on a daily basis. This is why people choose to have a firearm for protection. If I ever find myself in a position to have to use mine I will use my tactical thinking in order to make that decision. “A demand for guns is on the rise. According to the FBI, 2015 was a record year for background checks on guns. Some have pointed out

There is no doubt that in the United States guns are easily acquirable, whether legal or illegal they are easily accessible. This issue of gun control has been a fierce debate between pro-gun advocates and gun control advocates. Both sides believe in laws regulating access to firearms, but are divided on the implementation of stricter laws. Pro- Gun advocates argue that stricter gun laws, infringes on their second amendment rights, (right to bear arms), while gun control advocates argues that the lack of has resulted in various firearm violence and related death in the country.
