Persuasive Essay On Gun Restrictions

October 1, 2017 marked the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. With almost 500 injured and 58 killed, not only did Las Vegas feel the tragedy of a personal loss, but the incident had rippling effects that shook all of America (Flaherty). With the fresh wounds of the recent Las Vegas shooting, politician's initial reaction is to implement more strict gun restrictions and "lay down the law" to prevent a similar event from happening again. Due to the drastic laws being carried out, the topic of gun control is a current issue in society. Is the solution to implement more firm restrictions on gun ownership or can the government allow the people to be their own advocates? While the opposing views of pro-gun restrictions argue that is up to the discretion of the government, they are often narrow-minded resolutions with no hope to finding a real solution. This particular shooter obtained his guns legally and passed all background checks, going unnoticed until his plan unfolded. Establishing more strict firearm restrictions would not have stopped the Las Vegas shooting from occurring. The number of gun restrictions can not increase, the government needs to either fix the existing laws or do away with gun restrictions entirely. Gun restrictions are not the solution because guns are not doing the killing--people are, the laws only attack the law-abiding citizens, and the gun restrictions add another infringed upon right that the government controls. While voting against additional gun rules will not completely eliminate the controversy behind this topic, voting against these laws will be a milestone to regaining the rights we have already been promised.

Concealed Handguns are a very controversial subject and many disagree, but according to the 2nd Amendment, of the Constitution, people have the right to bear arms. Even in the nineteenth century, the laws and opinions surrounding concealed weapons varied widely. Although many people blame guns for violence, it is people that cause the violence with guns. While opponents argue that a criminal or mentally disturbed person will carry a concealed weapon, licensed or not, innocent victims continue to die at the hands of private citizens, and that 5 percent of gun dealers that supply 90 percent of all crime guns.

Columbine, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook, Pulse Night Club, and Las Vegas all have one thing in common. They all became household names after experiencing horrific mass shootings shocking Americans across the country. We hear of other tragic shootings almost daily and the question we hear the media asking is, “are guns the problem?” The debate over guns has been around since our country was founded. Our founding fathers felt it was so important that citizens have the right to protect themselves, that the right to bear arms is the second amendment in the constitution, making it a secure member of the Bill of Rights. Since this amendment was published and made law of the land, people have been debating its validity, especially in recent years. Our country seems divided with half the citizens blaming guns for mass shootings and the other half adamantly defending our right to own guns. While some people argue that guns are the cause of mass shootings in America, the Bill of Rights should be upheld for citizens to have their rights to bear arms for protection of our property and from a tyrannical government.

Gun control will not protect United States citizens any more than having no gun control, it will keep the guns away from the responsibility, and do nothing to prevent criminals from obtaining them. Numerous natives and government officials trust that firearm confinements will diminish murder rates and wrongdoing greatly; nonetheless, this isn't the situation. If a citizen has the intent to commit a crime, then they will do what is necessary to get it done such as getting a gun. Even though it is illegal. They are already committing crimes so there are no consequences of getting a gun. Gun control laws will not protect this country because law abiding citizens will not obtain guns, but those citizens will not commit any crimes,

On December 14, 2012, twenty children between the ages of six and seven as well as six adults were killed by a senseless shooting in Sandy Hook Elementary school. On that day, twenty six families were forced to mourn the lives of the loved ones that were taken away from them too soon. The shooter had been previously diagnosed with a mental disorder but was allowed to legally purchase the firearm he would later use to kill twenty six American citizens(“Deathly silence; Guns in America”). If the senseless slaughter in an elementary school does not provoke humanity to take action against the lack of gun laws in America then what will? How many more people must lose their lives before change occurs? For this reason and many others, there should be heavier restriction on owning and purchasing guns based on the benefit to decrease in homicides and mass shootings and overall American safety.

Gun Control is one of the most debatable topic in the United States for the past several decades. America has witnessed assignation to mass shootings. Every time violence and guns are a factor of traumatic events the ongoing topic of gun control reemerges. The question that is asked is if our nation should enforce stricter gun laws. Would these new gun laws contribute to the decrease of gun crime in our nation? American citizens stand divided on this issue; both sides taking a strong position as what they strongly believe what should be done about guns.

Whenever gun violence comes up in today’s society, the main focus is usually gun control. However, this has led to society ignoring the fact that guns themselves are not the problem, ammunition is. Many citizens have protested, petitioned and tried to propose stricter gun control laws. Those strategies are often not accepted and refused by the National Rifles Association (NRA). This controversial issue is leading citizens to attempt restoring a previous approach, to address ammunition regulation. Unless the problem is addressed, mass shootings will continue to spiral in massive numbers. One obvious solution is for all 50 states to enact laws which regulate the purchase of ammunition because of available new technology, the current lack of effective

Gun control is a very controversial, complicated, and delicate subject, which affects a large amount of people in our society, and is full of moral and legal arguments which all must be heard. The issue of gun control has come up recently as an important decision opportunity for our country. Many people argue that whether guns are the useful tool and should be allowed. The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution gives the citizens of America the right to bear arms, in other words, it is uncontrolled and legitimate that if people have any kind of guns they want. Even though the second amendment as a law permitting gun has some benefits that gives people much more protection to the future victims of gun attacks,

Gun control will not protect United States citizens any more than having no gun control, it will keep the guns away from the responsibility, and do nothing to prevent criminals from obtaining them. Numerous natives and government officials trust that firearm confinements will diminish murder rates and wrongdoing greatly; nonetheless, this isn't the situation. If a criminal has the urge to commit a crime, they will got to all stakes to obtain a gun. Even though it is illegal. Gun control laws will not protect this country because law abiding citizens will not obtain guns, but they will still find ways to cause commotion; therefore, there is no point of keeping guns out of their hands."Over the last three years, Minnehaha and Pennington

Gun control has once again become the topic of interest and debate in the United States. A mass shooting in Las Vegas very recently sparked it back up. A man used illegal weapons to injure over 500 defenseless people in a crowd, and around 60 lost their lives in the tragedy. Legal guns in the hands of sane U.S. citizens, however, have positive effects. Providing a sense of security for families, helping to stop crimes, and empowering women are some examples of the effects of gun ownership.

Every year there are millions of people getting killed or seriously hurt across america do to crimes, gang violence ,drug deals and other criminal forms of killing and getting injured. People may think there is gun issue but that’s not the case at all. A source from “infowars” states that FBI has said “nearly five times as many murders are committed with knives than so-called assault rifles” this means there are over 11,961 people getting murdered without firearm weapons. This is not a gun problem to where guns would help with less crime it is a people problem with crime not a gun problem.

Gun are by design, created to allow people to defend themselves from the outside world. Yet, the government keeps trying to change those laws, where no one will be allowed to own a gun. Tyrant government fear armed Americans. Thomas Jefferson: "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bare arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." By making guns illegal will only make obtaining one harder to achieve, not impossible. This action will be only taking away the rights from the law abiding people. The type of people who just want them for protection. And the types of people whom we do not want to have guns, will still continue to

With all of the recent tragic events involving gun violence the debate between gun control and gun rights has been at an all-time high. The most recent and deadliest example of gun violence in Las Vegas, Nevada being still fresh in peoples’ minds, the San Bernardino attacks in which deadly fully automatic weapons were used, and all of the recent school shootings are all making Americans wonder and debate about the proper response to these events. The majority of Americans are responding by asking the question on how these events can be prevented. Many Americans believe stricter gun control, background checks, or even complete bans on firearms are the solutions to gun violence. Many others believe gun control is not the answer, or the issue is not with guns at all, that maybe the issue lies with our overall mental health of our society, or even putting resources into other means of prevention is the answer.

Gun control has been a hot topic in the United States for some time now. Florida’s gun policies are too lenient and need a major overhaul. Many people believe that thanks to the 2nd amendment we all have the right to bear arms which is true to a certain extend. Guns are changing so should our gun control in Florida. Once Florida’s gun policies have been worked on there would be a dramatic change in crimes and violence. Florida must look at the types of weapons they are letting the public get a hold of. Some weapons should never be assessable to civilians. Some of the laws in Florida need to change so the state becomes a safer place for everyone. This can be backed up by some recent catastrophes that has happen here in Florida. Florida license and requirements to obtain a gun are too facile and pretty much anyone can have one. The longer the state waits to act the more vulnerable the state becomes.

Guns are meant for harming people. That's the plain and simple truth, isn't it? Anti-gun advocates would argue that firearms are not good and are designed to be used for harming other humans. On the other hand, pro-gun advocates, such as myself would beg to differ that guns are used for hunting and sport-shooting. This all ties into the second amendment which is “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” All the anti-gun advocates tend to ignore this rule of law. Which is why it’s necessary for people to need guns, to protect themselves from tyrants. Democracy and the freedom and safety that we know of today would not exist anywhere if it wasn’t for guns. Let’s go back to the main point, “Do Guns Make Society Safer or More Violent?” Obviously if there were no guns to begin with we would all be safe, but that is irrelevant. Now a day’s people can always find a way to get their hands on a gun with or without a permit. How should the United States deal with the issue of illegal guns? If we increase the restrictions on weapons will the crime rates decrease or increase?
