Persuasive Essay On Gun Control

Have you ever seen anyone get shot? How many funerals have you been with the person deceased being killed by a gun? Have you ever thought that maybe there could be a solution? Well, in the U.S. we know that in the bill of rights we have the right to bear arms. However what about others that don’t have “arms” those have no “protection” what would they do? There has been many tragedies made by guns in general attacking several amounts of people. But we still have done nothing. To give examples of some there was the Orlando nightclub shooting, this shooting happened in June 12, 2016 and the suspect used a rifle and a 9mm handgun and both were purchased legally (cite). Another example is the recent Las Vegas shooting happened in October 1, 2017 the suspect had at the least of a dozen of firearms that were again purchased legally that were modified again legally to become like a machine gun (cite). In just the two shootings that were stated both of them were guns that were purchased legally. With this position to have the U.S. ban guns as most of the times the shootings and attacks are used with legal guns not illegal guns.

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

In 2015, on an average day in America, thirty-six Americans were killed by guns, excluding suicides. How many of those deaths would have been prevented if there were stricter gun laws? How many parents would have lived to see their babies grow up? How many children would have lived to graduate, or get married? Although many Americans believe that gun control takes away their second amendment right it actually increases every citizen’s safety by the use of extensive background checking, checking medical records, and restricting gun distributors.

According to Nicholas Kristof’s article “our blind spot about guns” gun control is a lot like cars regulation such that if we can regulate cars we can regulate guns. It took a lot of time and effort but thanks to regulations cars are safer than they were many years ago, and the same is very possible with guns. We need to keep our country safe. The first steps to gun control are improving on background checks and also requiring trigger locks on all guns.

With gun related crimes steadily increasing, the spotlight has been on a solution to cease firearm problems. Firearms have been around for hundreds of years, and they are included in self-defense, sport, show, and unfortunately crime. The danger of the situation immediately escalades when there is a firearm involved. A plan to fix these issues has been talked about and looked at throughout the recent years, but there are many different aspects you have to look at when trying to find a solution for this problem. However, not all gun related situations are at fault, for most people follow the law, using and collecting the guns for sporting, collecting, and self-defense purposes. The second amendment in the constitution gives citizens of the United states the right to bear arms. Areas of concern that can be focused on to prevent future danger in firearm situations are gun control laws, process undergone

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

More gun control laws state that the Second Amendment was intended for militias; so they can stand up for themselves and become self-aware in self-defense with legal arms, (“Should More Gun Control”). As shown above it clearly states that gun violence was intended to reduce with the Second Amendment. Those supporters argue that the legal weapons available toward the public can, be disturbed the ability of those peacekeeper’s ability to remain in control since of the great availability of guns,” (“Small Arms Trafficking”). They who aren’t able to remain in control such as the government who can’t regulate the small arms traffic has led toward some civilians in caught up armed conflicts, (“Small Arms Trafficking”). Therefore the availability of weapons will always be available and with or without the band of guns there will always be that person that can go and terrorize those without a chance to properly self

I want each and every one of you sitting here to imagine how it would be like if there is a person sitting next to you with a concealed handgun. Would you be fine with that or would you tremble in fear just like me and wonder if this would be the last moments of my life. People often claim that owning a gun would make them feel safer, but have they ever thought about how people around them would feel. Therefore today, I am here to talk about why the Texas legislature should repeal Senate Bill 11 which is campus carry. I have done research trying to understand the challenges we students would face with the help of Internet. So today, we would take a brief look at what campus carry is? Secondly, we will talk about the reasons why we do not need such a bill in our campuses. Thirdly, few ideas and plans on how we could stop this bill. And last but not least talk about the practicality of our plan.

Excluding most suicides, at least 15,549 people were killed by guns in the United States in the year of 2017. (“Gun Deaths Increased in 2017, thetrace.com.) Over 15,000 people were killed in one year how many of those people would be alive today if it weren’t for guns, or how many more would be killed if it weren’t for guns. Will banning all guns result in less violence in America? Will taking away guns increase violence in America? In tackling this tough subject we will look at the Second Amendment, along with the definition of Gun Control. Also we will touch on the accessibility of guns, gun deaths compared to other tools, and America compared to other countries regarding gun deaths.

There have been many mass shootings in our country lately. There was Dallas, Las Vegas, and other shootings at churches. One shooting at a church occurred in Tennessee right up the road from Florence. Shootings in churches have really scared people in the church. It is crazy to believe that in our country some people are scared to go to church because of shooters that could possibly come in and harm them. These shooters have no mercy on people. No matter how old or how young they are it does not matter to them. It takes a crazy person to shoot up a building full of all ages. One of the shootings a five year old was killed. That isn’t even close to right. The government shouldn’t control what kind of guns are sold. The government should control who’s buying the guns. Guns can be a very good thing. Many people like to hunt and that requires using a gun to enjoy their hobby. Others like maybe people who have been in the military just like to shoot guns for fun. Then you have the people who just like to collect guns that look good. Those are some good reasons to have guns. People also buy guns with the intention to harm others. That is where making it harder to buy guns would come in handy. It isn’t the gun that kills people, it is the person using the gun that kills people

Should Americans have the right to bear arms? As mass shootings take place in American cities every month, there is always a push by citizens and politicians to enact gun control laws to prevent future horrendous acts of violence. Gun control is a restriction on what types of weapons can be sold, magazine capacity, ammunition type, where these firearms can be stored, to who can possess them and those who can not (Blocher, Joseph and Darrell A. H. Miller). All these restrictions are usually placed upon citizens. Gun control has had a long history of legislations in the United States, but has faced opposition due to the 2nd Amendment. States like California and Arizona handle gun control differently from each other.

Everyone should have the right to have a gun in their homes for protection! Because obviously we have them to use it in order to attack someone. Now Democratic Party wants every gun in the state property registered and they want everyone to take a “Mental Health” test before they get a gun. Witch I totally agree with, because you never know what type of a person they’re. We should also watch their backgrounds.

Mass-shootings — defined by the FBI as four or more murders occurring during the same calamity, with no distinctive time period between the homicides (Serial Murder) — have stricken across the United States at the rate of about one every two weeks since 2006 (Database of Mass Shootings, 2006-2013). This abysmal statistic has rightfully triggered much debate concerning gun restraints. The theory of gun control pertains towards any efforts intended to regulate, define, or limit the possession, production, sales, and use of guns. Since its conception, the Second Amendment — guaranteeing the “right to bear arms” — has been wildly controversial. Gun control advocates suggest that confining gun ownership would reduce the number of violent

For this week’s journal, I decided to write about gun control laws. It was estimated that there are 88 guns per 100 people in the United States, which is the highest total number in the world. America’s gun culture have been around from colonial history, revolutionary roots, frontier expansion and the Second Amendment, which states, “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security off a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” (procon, 1). While opponents state an individual has the right to own guns and is needed for self-defense, I believe that new gun restrictions should be implemented in order to reduce gun related crimes and protect individuals by reducing gun deaths.

Many people debate over whether we should or shouldn’t allow guns in our state/country and also, who or what kind of people should be allowed to carry guns. Gun control is the permission or no permission of certain people being able to carry guns anywhere. Of course, all 50 states allow, at some level, concealed carry, but some states are considerably more restrictive than others. California, Florida, Illinois, Texas, South Carolina, New York (as well as Washington, D.C.) are the only states to prohibit open carry of handguns in publics as of 2014. The United states, alone, has 88.8 guns per 100 people, or about 270,000,000 guns, which is the highest total. Some people oppose gun control, using the Second Amendment as their proof, which 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 Second Amendment of the US Constitution was ratified on December 15, 1791.
