Governments across the globe approach it differently, many are strongly for it, and just as many are against it. In America, gun control has continued to surface to the forefront of debate following any mass shooting event. However, little is ever actually accomplished in the quest to reform gun control in the United States. It could be said that guns are apart of the moral fabric that shaped this country, making it not only free, but great. Unfortunately, guns continuously find their way into the hands of the wrong people. Current state laws require background checks to be done every time you purchase a gun. Conveniently for criminals, the only form of identification you need to purchase a gun is a state driver’s license, so anyone …show more content…
This technology was crucial for them in a place where individuals are not well documented. In America, RFID chipped licenses are used to speed up border crossings to and from Canada, replacing the need to show a passport each time. RFID chipped licenses is the simplest ways to use biometric technology for increased security. Information that is contained on the chip can be as simple as a set of numbers or complex and contain the person’s name, address, photograph, fingerprints, and iris scan. RFID chips are passive, meaning they do not have a power source within them, they must be scanned in order to read them. In an article written for an online technology magazine, Kim Zetter explains that in most cases, the chips must be within one foot of the scanner to work, but some can be scanned from further than 10 feet away (Zetter). Additionally, the cards are issued with a protective sleeve that keeps the chip protected while it sits in your wallet or purse. Also, a RFID scanner cannot read the chip while it is in the protective case, which helps keep the personal information safe. The chips that would be used in for this program would ones that must be placed in the scanner to work, this adds a piece of security. When the cards are issued out, DMV employees would have out informational handouts regarding the capabilities, use, storing, and contact numbers for troubleshooting problems that may arise with the chip.
Over the recents years, there have been many arguments about the issue of gun control at the state and national level. In California, there have been a variety of enacted laws within recent years to address the issue of growing gun violence around the country and ways to prevent terrorist attacks. California 's new enacted laws about gun control in the state range from abolishing certain features on weapons to restricting certain handguns or other firearms a person might buy. The legislative branch within California wrote bills including a ban on large capacity ammunition magazines and were approved by Governor Jerry Brown and the Legislature in response to a 2015 terrorist shooting in San Bernardino. The hysteria developed when
Over the past two decades, rising gun control controversy among the American people alters the way Americans foresee firearms. Even today, controversies continue. The Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights 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. (Brooks np)." In January of 2016, Obama announced his gun control plan. His plan would more strictly enforce current laws, including firearms (Smith np). People deserve the right to have firearms for the ability to protect, defend, and entertain themselves and others. The way people obtain information about firearms is the biggest controversy among the American people. The thought that "guns kill people," influences people, when in all reality, they need to understand that "people kill people." Although there are around 10,000 people killed in the United States each year from firearms, guns are not the primary conflict in the killings, the people behind the guns are (Brooks np).
The problem is that people can get their hands on guns whether there are tougher gun control laws or not. Private sales go on everyday. By private sales I mean gun sales that don’t happen in stores. They are done between two people. There aren’t any background checks or anything. The cash is handed over and then the gun in return. This is where people get in trouble. According to Everitt, “ A new survey found that twenty- two percent of gun owners recently bought a firearm through a private sale which does not require background checks.” Anybody can buy a gun on the street. No matter how many times you have been to jail you can get a gun. Private sales need to be outlawed. This is how crazy people get guns and end up doing harm to innocent people. According to Everitt “ The United States has more guns- and gun deaths- than any other developed country.”
As a country, we do not realize the impact guns have on us. The current law states that there are restrictions on the ownership of certain types of firearms (Findlaw 2). The current law is a good idea, however, many people have found ways to bend the rules. Without strict regulations, many people will continue to break the law by purchasing illegal weapons. “NFA firearms or devices, owners must go through extensive background checks, purchase a tax stamp for the manufacture of the firearm or device” (Findlaw 1). This refers directly to citizens having to go through tests to see if they are capable of possessing a gun. The process of buying a gun is much too simple for your ordinary person to obtain. “More Americans have been killed by guns since 1963 than all deaths combined in U.S. World Wars” (Huffpost 1). We lost nearly 1.2 million men in World War I and II, while losing 1.4 million innocent lives within the U.S. This is sad, as many of these deaths could have been prevented with stricter laws and harsher punishments.
As we can see now RFID technology is becoming very popular around the world. However, in my opinion, I would like to say that RFID tags pose a risk to personal privacy. RFID tags easily to be stolen by hackers. They could steal your personal information such as your credit card or your passports. For example, now in some states of the U.S, the government allows the citizen to use RFID passports. However, many citizen still disagree to apply RFID passports because they think it contains many issued such as it is vulnerable to wireless attack by hackers (it can be read up to 30 feet away and copying without permission from the RFID owner). In addition, it is even more dangerous when the RFID passports can contain information that is corresponding to the photo of the RFID tags owner. So just think what will happen if someone hack your passports and what they can do with its information from that RFID passport? Therefore, even RFID tags is becoming popular and can be the next generation technology in the real world, but now, in my opinion, I would like to say that RFID still contains many problem that can harm to personal privacy.
Although gun violence has fluctuated since the 1960s, recently it has started to become a major topic of debate and chaos. Polls and studies conducted by Everytown.org have provided some extremely frightening statistics about the gun problems in America. In an average year, 12,000 people in the U.S alone are slaughtered by firearms and on an average day, 93 people. That means that our country’s gun homicide rate is 25 times higher than all other developed countries. Even though they were only mentioned as statistics, these were all people with families and passions. Sadly, the gun violence will continue if congress doesn’t start changing the way our gun laws work. A great way to start would be to enforce background checks on all gun purchasers, no exceptions.
Gun control has become quite the controversial topic over the past few years. With the number of mass shootings rising each year, there’s no doubt about why it is more controversial than ever. But, I don’t believe having complete gun control will end to mass shootings and deaths in America. Gun control is important, but it needs to be thought about in different perspectives. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.
“If a child can’t open a bottle of Aspirin, we should make sure that they can’t pull a trigger on a gun.”
Take a gaze at the past of our state and the act guns have frolicked in it. “In the Bill of Rights, the Subsequent Correction to the Constitution reads: A well manipulated Militia, being vital to the protection of a free State, the right of the people to retain and bear Arms shall not be infringed”( Agresti, Smith 1), and no one ought to be able to change that. Back next guns were utilized for hunting and, self-defense. I am not sure what has made people contemplate that periods have modified so far that we no longer demand guns for self-defense. From the gun owner’s point of think, though, those are yet the reasons that we own and use firearms today. In my opinion alongside all the offense that happens every single minute in our globe I desire
Over the past decade, gun control raised controversy upon the American people and changed the way people foresee firearms. Most of these controversies still continue to be brought up today. The Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights 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.” In January of 2016, Obama stated his gun control plan that would more strictly enforce existing laws including firearms. People deserve the right to have firearms for the ability to protect, defend, and entertain themselves and others. The biggest controversy including firearms is the way people are introduced and informed about them. People are given the thought that “guns kill people,” when in all reality, “people kill people.” Although there are around 10,000 people killed in the United States each year from firearms, guns are not the main conflict in the killings, the people behind the guns are.
In America, gun’s have been used since we became united as a country. Even the constitution made the people of the United states have the right to bear arms. However, this does not make it right. They have been used beyond for what they were meant for. ¨When there's a bombing, we blame the bomber. When there's a drunk-driving accident, we blame the driver. Why.-pause-.[is it when there is] a shooting, we blame the gun.” The amount of violence committed with a gun is caused by the shooter, not the gun itself. Some may have the opinion that guns are responsible for the violent crimes committed with them; however, if those involved in the crime did not have a gun, the violent act would not have occurred. -quote-“This theory holds that thousands of gun murders [are committed] by law-abiding citizens who might have stayed law-abiding if they had not possessed firearms,” (Kates, Don B.)-end of quote-.
Some schools are using RFID tags as a security measure to confirm that all students are within the campus , during school hours.
RFID, or radio frequency identification, is the new system that is replacing the use of barcodes. RFID tags allow users to more quickly obtain information from the object that the RFID tag
RFID technology is not only used at gas stations, restaurants, and department but also at
The system thus installed is quite reducing the time and cost of travelers since the tag can be deciphered from a distance. User and developer, instead the RFID tag carried by their vehicle does every thing. A commuter traveling through this medium gets to know how much amount has been paid and how much money is left in the tag. It does not require the person to carry cash with him to pay
