Pros And Cons Of 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 church shooting at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs was stopped by a brave Person with and gun that had shot the shooter, which stopped the gunman from killing more people and made the gunman flee away where the cops later caught him. By having a gun may save you life and other. The reason we need to have them for protection is because incidents like these guns can save manys lives.

un control is a very controversial topic especially in today's society; whether gun control is good or bad is a very talked about subject especially when it comes to the United States. This is a very touchy subject because guns are a part of a lot of people's daily lives. People that are anti gun control believe that no one should be able to put any restrictions on guns. They believe that people should be able to buy a firearm just like a pair of boots or a tool. They also believe that if someone were able to take away the firearms from the law abiding citizens that just leaves firearms in the hands of people that do not abide by the law and leaves them defenseless. In 1791 our founding fathers gathered and ratified the Second amendment. The

Gun control is the set of laws or policies that regulate the manufacture, sale, transfer, possession, modification, or use of firearms by civilians. The debate over gun control has come up for debate across the United States after two mass shootings rocked the country. The common argument for gun control is that gun control works. When simply in reality that argument is invalid because when you limit guns or even take them away in some cases the murder rate rises. Not only does gun control not work but the laws are racist and gives the government to much power. The idea of gun control infringes on the rights of citizens and takes away their safety.

Gun Control is a debatable method to reduce gun violence and many people's perspectives vary. “Gun control is a broad term that covers many kinds of restrictions. It can include regulations about what firearms can be bought and sold and who can and can’t possess them or sell them and also the ammunition that you have to buy” (New York Times). However, Gun Control is a horrific method to resolve Gun Violence this opinion has been proven by numerous professionals. Gun Control didn't work in other countries, People that shouldn't possess guns will still have access to them, and Guns break the second amendment and violent people's sense of safety.

How many of you, have ever been robbed at gunpoint? When I was about seventeen years old, I became a victim of an armed robber, in a small town called Hoboken in New Jersey. Now, New Jersey has some of the strictest gun laws in the entire United States, and many people believe that these laws keep us safe from such an encounter. I found out the hard way that these gun control laws are not meant to protect law-abiding citizens. My perpetrator belonged to a local gang, and gun control laws did not stop him or any of the other members of his gang from obtaining a gun. Gang violence is a serious issue significantly contributing to violent crime, including homicides. Gun control will not stop any criminal in the future from obtaining and using a gun. Criminals buy most of their guns illegally, not through the conventional way of going through the local gun dealer, this makes tracing these guns almost impossible. Harsher, mandatory sentences for anyone that commits a crime with a gun, would deter many criminals from committing such offenses. Knowing that you can be put away for life if you own a gun illegally, would stop many crimes and deaths from occurring. Criminals by nature do not respect laws, so it would not matter to them if guns were illegal or not. Law-abiding citizens would then be left defenseless, and disarmed if gun control were to become an actual law.

The Second Amendment in the Constitution says that citizens have the right to bear arms. But, there is a lot of controversy on the topic of gun control. Issues like gun control and gun rights have been an important topic in Congress Meetings. And people have different opinions that have valid points. Liberals say that the second amendment does not give citizens the right to bear arms, they will only allow a militia or (National Guard) to have access to guns. Liberals say that people do not need guns to protect themselves; that is the role of the local or federal government to protect the people through the military. In order to stop gun violence and limit the ability of criminals to obtain guns it is necessary to add additional gun control laws. More guns will equal to more violence. Conservatives say that the second amendment gives citizens the right to bear and keep arms. They say that they have the right to protect themselves. Conservatives also believe that there are too many gun control laws, they think that additional laws will not decrease the gun crime rates. Gun control laws will not put a stop to criminals having access to guns. If there are more guns in the hands of law, citizens will listen and there will be less crime.

Gun control has been a complex debate in the United States for centuries. The U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment, adopted December 15, 1791, protects individual’s rights to bear arms. The Second Amendment is one of the most controversial amendment out of the twenty-seven amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Proponents of gun control argue that the more guns we have in society, the more gun-related deaths occur. Criminals, children, and the mentally ill, should not have easy access to guns. Stricter gun laws are needed. Gun –right supporters counter the argument by saying stricter gun control laws will not resolve the problem. Gun owners are not creating the problem, their weapons are used for hunting, target shooting, and self-defense. Millions of gun owners are law abiding citizens who take safety measures. In the end, guns don’t kill people, people kill people. The shooter, not the gun are to blame for gun-related deaths.

One of the most debated topics in America right now is gun control. It seems like you cannot scroll through a news feed online, or even read through a newspaper or magazine without coming across an article or post about gun control problems. Some people argue that we don’t need any gun control, and others argue that we need even more gun control than we already have. More gun control would be bad for America because it will not lower gun violence, guns are useful for protection, and history shows that gun control is ineffective, therefore, America should not have stricter gun control.

Many opposing gun use insist guns are mostly used for breaking the law and that most users of these weapons are criminals. Rather, guns level the playing field between law abiding citizens and wrongdoers. Kevin Cole affirms, “Gun-rights advocates, as you can imagine, do not agree that gun deaths are a public health problem, but instead point to the criminals with guns that carry out the gun violence in this country” (3). Although guns can be used for malicious deeds imagine all the terrible scenes that could have been stopped if people in those scenes were carrying weapons. Banks robbers, stalkers, rapists, and terrorists all could have been stopped if guns were more

The second amendment of the United States Constitution continues to be debated by many. “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.” There have been multiple mass shootings recently in the United States. For example, the Las Vegas shooting that took place on Sunday, October 1st. In the Las Vegas shooting, fifty-eight people were killed and four hundred eighty nine were wounded. Another recently shooting took place in Sutherland Springs, Texas, on November the fifth. Twenty-six people were killed as of a result of this shooting. Gun laws need to be stricter because gun violence is out of control.

chines they have recently been publicized as. Gun Control: The Great Cop-out by Jared Machaud and Gun Control and the Constitution by David B. Rivkin Jr. and Andrew M. Grossman effectively display the anti-gun control side of this discussion; whereas The Second Amendment is all for Gun Control by Adam Winkler and Making Gun Control Happen by Patrick Radden Keefe display the pro-gun control side. In my views, guns are a helper in a time of crisis when help is too far away, or unwilling to come. Rather than put more restrictions on guns and gun owners, we should maintain the ability to protect ourselves and our fellow Americans through the use of firearms.

Citizens, truth seekers, Americans, as a nation we should be able to agree upon the simple proposition: guano psychotics (batshit crazy people) should not have guns. Once we agree upon this principle, and assuming we also agree on the principle right of self defense, other reasonable suggestions upon which we can reach agreement follow naturally. Here are a few suggestions.

When talking about gun control there so many topics to discuss about since this is a very common nowadays with all the event that currently happening all over the world especially at home in the US. The topic that I will be discussing is how we can regulate gun in the country, I define this as how people are able to obtain them and the whole process of wanting to get one in the aftermath of obtaining it and after that is my main concern for this argument. Many can think of other topics, but I believe this the root that is causing so many people dying from people who are able to obtain guns and using them to harm or to kill innocent civilians. My view is subjective by trying to help everyone else live in an safe space where they don't have to worry is being the next victim of a mass shooting. To solve the problem in a way which the solution to solve the gun control problem that we are currently seeing in the US it's almost a unanimous decision if you ask anyone in the states that gun control is becoming a huge problem since the rate of people using guns in terror acts is becoming more frequent. While my idea that I present can be seen as the next big thing when taking the fight for gun control some can also see the negative in it since they believe that with the bill of rights, stating “The Right to Bear Arms” being one strong common argument for what I think should be done about gun control. Also some of those benetfist that come with owning a gun can also be looked away

Gun control in the United States has been a major debate for hundreds of year. Many people believe that guns should be highly regulated while others believe that anyone should have the ability to own one. Each side has a plausible argument. Throughout this essay it will be show how not having gun control can increase violence and death rates, the right for everyone to own a gun is not guaranteed by the Second Amendment, and how over usage of guns has played a role in the diminishing populations of animals.
