Pros And Cons Of Gun Control Laws

In today's society there is the question ‘Should there be more gun laws?’. The advancements in military weaponry is nothing short of astounding. With these advancements though, come the ramifications of their inventions. More and more, the nation is seeing these weapons in actions. People are fearful and demand more laws, but that is not the answer to this dilemma. More gun laws would not resolve this problem for numerous reasons; more gun laws would lead to more violence, the United States alwardy have an excessive amount on gun laws, and the nation looks at the object not the person. The United States have to address these issues before a change will happen.

Gun control laws should be strictly enforced because individuals can take advantage of the relaxed enforcement and harm others.

Gun control is a very controversial topic for Americans. Many feel that due to the recent tragedies, Congress should enforce stronger gun control law while others believe that banning assault weapons will not help reduce crimes. In the article titled, “Treasure the Second Amendment, but Ban Assault Rifles”, Miller argues that assault weapons should be banned, but the second amendment right to bare arms should be valued. While in the article titled, “A Ban on Assault Weapons Would Not Reduce Crime”, Merino argues that banning assault weapons would not lower the crime rate because most criminals will just find a loophole.

Congress, do not pass this bill! Smart guns are not any more effective at curbing violence than non-smart guns. Even if they would prevent some future catastrophes, they will also cause future catastrophes! These guns will cause more problems than they solve, and the negative results will be detrimental to the American people. Anything managed by software will have vulnerabilities; systems are hacked all the time. If this happened with the gun regulation system, it would make things infinitely easier for criminals, while possibly preventing the average American from defending himself. Even without anyone hacking the software, many reasonable circumstances would also prevent someone from defending himself. For example, what if multiple

Homicide rates with guns have been decreasing since 2006 with 41% and now in 2015 with 35% "Gun Control - ProCon.org". Why ban guns? Guns should not be banned. The research shows that gun deaths like homicide, unintentional deaths, and undermined deaths are going down. If you do the research you can find that there was a ban it was from 1999-2004 and didn't go as planned. After you read this you will see why you should say keep them.

in addition,if the gun control laws were strict that would not be the reason for death.

Should gun control laws be implemented or not? The United States has about 90 guns per 100 people, or about 300,000,000 guns, which is the highest number in the world. Gun control laws should be enacted but there are more cons then pros about the gun control act of the government.

Gun control and gun safety is a highly debated topic throughout the government. Between the candidates for president, Senate, and Congress there are tons of different opinions and laws that different people want passed. The government has made some decisions that some people are upset about concerning guns. The government will continue to make decisions in order to control gun safety.

It will come as no surprise to learn that the United States has the highest rate of gun ownership in the Western World. In fact, the United States is described as a place with its own unique culture around firearms (Kohn, 2004). Given the violence associated with firearms, it behooves policy makers to come up with sound policies that will allow individuals the freedom to exercise their constitutional right as contained in the 2nd Amendment, while maintaining law and order in the society. Laws that regulate firearms in this case, come in two forms. There are those that protect the use of firearms for self-defense, sport and hunting, and those that restrict the access to, and/or use of firearms. There has been a great devotion

Gun control has been a controversial subject in the country for many years. Should we make guns illegal or not? Should people be allowed to have guns on school campus? The states are still in control of their own gun laws and recently Georgia has decided to pass the House Bill 280, also known as the “campus carry” law, which went in effect July 1st. This law allows students, who are over 21, to carry their concealed weapon to any public college campus. Whether this was the right choice is still up to debate.

The topic of gun control has created controversy among the public and political parties, each with different views among them. I for one am for the 2nd Amendment, to a point. I feel like all law abiding citizens have the right to own a gun to protect their families. After all the mass shootings something more needs to be done to help control these violent acts.

Gun control has been a people issue for decades, and the fight for or against it is getting stronger with each coming year. From the Columbine shooting to the most recent Santa Fe High School shooting, it seems as though guns are the perpetrator. The greatest defense against gun control is the Second Amendment, which states, “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” John Paul Stevens, a 98 year old former associate justice suggested that America should repeal the Second Amendment, sparking controversy amongst liberals and conservatives. But should the Second Amendment actually be repealed? Should America ban guns completely to limit gun crime? Simply

How do you feel about Gun Control? A 26 yr old armed man walks in a college class full of students in Oregon with a semi automatic gun and begins to ask people what their religion is. When the people respond, he aims the gun toward them and pulls the trigger. Nine people are dead and numerous people were injured. When will the law bear down on gun control? The law can reduce gun violence by passing stricter laws on getting them and emphasizing the dangers of them.

Police cannot watch out for everyone at the same time! That is the main purpose for the second amendment, which gives us the right to own a legal weapon and defend our families from danger(should more gun control laws be enacted pg.4). Having a strong Gun Control laws will only make it harder to protect our families from criminals, because criminals will not follow a simple rule because they are already criminals ready to break the law no matter what. A ban on an assault weapons or any type of weapon will not stop people from going into schools or colleges and committing mass murders(Graham pg.3).

You may think of all the mass shooting in United States of America the shooters got their guns illegally, of the 139 guns possessed by the killers, more than three quarters were obtained legally (Mother Jones 2012). Times have changed and so should our gun laws. The federal government should ban all personal guns in order to reduce gun-related deaths, as we have a strong military system to defend us, and other countries have an example of why banned personal guns are effective.
