Pros And Cons For Gun Control

The United States has 88.8 guns per 100 people, or about 270,000,000 guns, which is the highest total and per capital number in the world. 22% of Americans own one or more guns (35% of men and 12% of women). America's pervasive gun culture stems in part from its colonial history, revolutionary roots, frontier expansion, and the Second Amendment, 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." Proponents of more gun control laws state that the Second Amendment was intended for militias; that gun violence would be reduced; that gun restrictions have always existed; and that a majority of Americans, including gun owners, support new gun restrictions.

The topic that I have chosen to write about is should there be more gun control laws be enacted. What does gun control do you may ask? Gun control is any kind of firearm that is bought or sold. What will be in the essay will be different things of Pros and Cons on the different things that gun control is in. The gun control law should not be enforced more is should be managed better for people who do not know what they are doing. The Second Amendment protects the people the rights to own guns. As us the people we have the right to bare arms for the need of protecting ourselves.

“England and Japan, which have some of the tightest gun control measures in the world, also feature some of the world’s lowest gun homicide rates (per 100,000 people, 0.04 killings and 0.03, respectively). The United States, by contrast, has a rate of 3.42 gun murders per 100,000 people-100 times greater than in England or Japan” (Ballaro and Finley).

Gun control has been debated quite a bit over the last couple of years due to recent domestic terrorist attacks. These attacks have caused political views on gun control to waver, regardless of our Second Amendment rights. Sociologist would see gun control as a way to divide our country by our belief. For example, a conservative would stand firm with their belief in the Second Amendment, where as a liberal would demolish those rights in an instant, if given the opportunity. The issue with gun control is that the government makes it more difficult for citizens to buy guns for protection, when criminals would just steal a legal gun and kill someone if necessary. So the main purpose of gun control is not to take all the guns away.

The controversy of Gun Control is a topic that is needed to be talked about, especially with children in the upcoming generations. Gun Control is defined as a set of laws posed by a government, especially the United States that regulate the sale, possession, manufacturing, and use of firearms by its civilians. Written in the Second Amendment in the Constitution, is people have the right to bear arms. Although it is stated in the Constitution, people of today's era are taking these rights completely out of context. A lot of Americans are misusing these firearms, which is sadly, leading to disastrous events such as school shootings.

Gun control would not really reduce the rate of violent crime. Firearms kill Sixty percent of all murder victims in the United States. Firearms injure another seventy thousand per year. Medicare paid out 14 billion dollars last year for injuries involving firearms (Lindermann 1). Professor Donald B. Kates said that a study conducted by the University of Wisconsin said, "Gun-control laws have no individual or collective effect in reducing the rate of violent crime. The study considered economic, demographic, and racial variables. Congressman Bill Goodling says that the willful criminal is the real cause of most violent crime, not the gun (Gottlieb 18).

According to the second amendment we are entitled to the right to own firearms.This topic has been in a constant debate about the problems of gun control and gun rights.The first three words in the constitution is “We the people” ,this means that the authors of the constitution believed that they were part of a group known “The people”. According to the second amendment two groups are mentioned The mithila and The people it's possible that the militia is a branch of the group The people ,this means that there is people in the group the mittha and vice versa so it's possible for the larger group to keep and bear arms. Having tighter restrictions on gun control limits us from maintaining self defence and deprives us from our right the 2nd amendment.

In the wake of numerous mass shootings within the United States, the highly controversial topic of gun control arises as a necessary discussion. Ever since the 18th century, Americans have been allowed the right to bear arms according to the second amendment. Along with the other amendments in the bill of rights, it was formulated in order to benefit the American society. That, of course, raises the question, has the allowance of the carrying guns been a positive or a negative in the US? If the answer to that question was based on the plethora of mass shootings we’ve observed in the recent years, the answer would have been that it’s results has been negative. However, most topics as debatable as these never have such a simple answer. A few avenues we could look at are, what are the pros and cons of gun control, if the second amendment has been favorable in America, who does it benefit, and if guns were banned, what would be the possible outcomes?

Gun control is a ongoing topic in American history that different people with different religious, political and social views have. The three articles that will be explained and argued against in this paper is all making the argument that if more gun control was implemented in today's American society then the violent crimes will shorty drop following the control of firearms. Gun control makes easy prey out of law-obeying people, who lawfully live in America. If criminals want to perform a crime, they will do so, whether or not they can get a firearm. It is illegal to drive drunk, yet people still do it. Marijuana is illegal, yet people still buy, sell and smoke it. Why would someone who does not exactly follow the law against murder

What is gun control? Gun control is a set of laws or rules that regulates the making, sale, allocation, ownership or use of firearms by citizens. Many countries have preventive firearms guidelines that are set by legislation and laws. Every jurisdiction regulates and accesses a law that each person who owns any firearms has to be granted and approved for a firearm license.

Gun control is a very sensitive topic which can cloud the minds of many. Those who agree with gun control want there to be better strains on gun laws. Though those who oppose gun control feel the laws need to be more flexible. This topic is viewed in two major standpoints because guns are like both a blessing and a sin. Arguments over gun control will never end due to the fact that no one knows for sure if guns are acceptable or harmful.

The debate on gun control and the Concealed Weapon Permit also known as the Carry Permit is an on going issue in the United states today. People in the United states believe that banning guns will stop gun related deaths and make the nation safer. The debate on hand guns is an even bigger issue in most people’s minds because people believe that carry permits make the streets more dangerous due to not knowing who has a gun. While others believe that the Carry Permit makes the streets safer due to having armed people around if a situation arises where a good guy with a gun is needed. Banning handguns fails to keep people safe because the laws are ineffective, they prevent an effective line of self-defense, and the laws do not provide positive

Time is running out, let the government know that you do not want semi-automatic firearms to be controlled based on how fast they fire.

One of the main problems that we have as a community is the right to obtain firearms and the use of these firearms. There are two sides of this argument and this project will try to focus on both sides. Alongside the idea of anti-gun control, people feel that there God given right to bear arms/2nd amendment is being manipulated. The argument begins to come when the weapon control activist begins to question our right to have and carry these firearms.

The government and community have always been afraid about people with guns and they want to get rid of all the guns. There is a problem with that and that would be that the second amendment which states that us citizen have rights to bear arms but thing people didn’t know that was more based on the U.S.(UNITED STATES) military such as the coast guard and police enforcement. The greatest fear for why this amendment stands is because of school being attacked by someone who has a gun and start shooting which gave wide spread fear throughout the country. The use of guns is a good thing and a bad thing that we cant lives without.
