Protection of the Right to Bear Arms

Kids always try to get their hands on a Nerf or airsoft gun. But imagine if people HAD to bear arms in the US. People get shot all of the time, and that is one of the major reasons why this law should be passed. Also, guns are popular, with people going paintballing and kids playing with Nerf guns. But the only problem would be that if weapons are distributed into the wrong hands, heck could break loose. This law should be passed because is for the better.

The right to keep and bear arms may be the single most controversial and contentious right listed in the constitution and this might be because the right was listed in 1791 and understanding what the founders and framers actually meant. Some people think that the Second Amendment is outdated and if the founders even had any idea of what kind of weaponry we would have today they would have included that the right to keep and bear arms should only be used in hunting and sportsman ship.

The Second Amendment allows us Americans to bear arms. The right to bear arms is the right to possess a weapon in this country. Giving us the opportunity to have access to a weapon if the situation ever needs to escalate that far. Now this amendment is in question due to politicians trying to take our guns away to reduce the violence in the country. Taking our guns would not benefit this country in any sense. The more guns the government takes the more violence will happen. The less presence of weapons will give the violent offenders better opportunity to commit inhumane crime.

Bang, the sound punches through the streets, the trees, the fields. The sound is unmistakable, so sharp and so loud, like a firecracker up close. This sound is a sound like no other and can not be taken back, it is the sound of a gun shot. From the beginning, our country has given the rights to its citizens to keep and bear arms. To protect their land and them selves from strangers who want to hurt them. But in todays society guns are becoming a “problem”. Almost every day some one has been shot and murdered. People want Washington to solve the “gun problem” in America but that is a very hard up hill battle. For the right to bear arms is in the constitution and no one can take that away.

The right to bear arms across all states by citizens trained in the handling of such weapons would produce a superior nation, where protection and security would become a mere hands’ length away. Guns provide necessary protection against those who wish to harm others. For instance, imagine a shooting, where citizens have the power to protect both themselves and others from the assaulter with several precise shots, thus saving countless lives that would otherwise be lost. In the same situation, this time with defenseless citizens, the shooter freely kills the innocent, knowing that they have no means to oppose him, such as happened in San Bernardino and in France. Taking away the right to bear arms infringes the natural rights given to Americans

One major issue in the United States today is the freedom to bear arms. There are split beliefs on this issue. Some people are against people being permitted to have a firearm because guns kill people. Other people are for being permitted to have a firearm because guns do not kill people on their own. It is the person behind the gun pulling the trigger that kills a person. In this paper, I will discuss both sides of this huge, nationwide issue.

This bill was proposed in order to regulate assault weapons, to ensure that the right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited, and for other purposes. This bill was proposed on December 16th, 2015. The current status of this bill is that it is still being introduced to the House. Well, with this information stated I am in favor of this bill. I am in favor of this bill because of the very valuable possibilities it presents such as the safety and well being of others. The bill also ensures the constitutional right to bear arms, and the ability to regulate the very dangerous assault weapon world.

It is our constitutional right to bear arms to protect ourselves from an overbearing government, also to protect our life, liberty, and property. Politicians have sworn to protect and uphold our constitution yet they aim to bring down the second amendment. Guns have been used in wars since the 13 century, and were also a vital part of America becoming freed from the hold of the monarchy. Guns were used as tools for survival during the founding of our great country, as well as protecting weaker countries from

“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.” These are the words from one of the founding fathers, James Madison.

​We have the right to bear arms not only because of the constitution but also for our own safety. In many states they have a law set in place for people with guns. Such as Michigan, which is called the “Castle Law”, if an intruder comes into

Many Americans want to restrict the right to bear arms and purchase guns after recent events of gun violence and incidents of dangerous individuals misusing guns for the wrong purposes. After the Connecticut Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting incident in 2012, there has been a conflicting debate between implementing stricter gun laws or allowing gun laws to remain the way they are. This is an issue that was highly debated when Adam Lanza burst into Sandy Hook Elementary wearing combat armor armed with semiautomatic pistols and rifles and murdered 26 people, 20 of them being children ranging between the ages of 5 and 10 years old (Barron). This horrifying event led to many people, especially parents, demanding

The right to keep and bear arms was considered a fundamental, individual right in the original 13 colonies from the pre-Revolutionary period through the ratification of the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution in 1791. The Amendment 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 right to keep and bear arms has been a topic of extreme controversy in this century and can be argued equally from both sides. The first side says that it is our constitutional right to keep and bear arms. On the flip side, it is too dangerous and would increase the number of violent crimes. No matter which side is

The often quoted second amendment, as supported by the US Supreme Court, upholds the right for a civilian to own firearms, however, this was not always the case. It was not until 2008 that the Supreme Court recognized the individual 's right be protected as opposed to restricting the right to the government and military (US SC 2008). The 1994 "assault weapon" ban is also often cited as a reason why guns shouldn 't be controlled or banned. The logical flaw in this is that the "ban" only stopped the manufacture of new semi-automatic guns and did nothing to affect those that already existed (Lysy 2013). An outright ban on all guns and other weaponry for non-military use, both new and already present, needs to be enacted in America as the current laws are excessively lax and also contribute to an abnormally high gun-related homicide rate.

According to the Heeding God’s Call website “More than 30 people are shot and murdered each day”. One of the first 10 Amendments of Bill Of Rights is the right to keep and bear arms. This is stated in the Constitution. In other words a person has the right to carry a gun. “Each year about 4.5 million firearms, including approximately 2 million handguns, are sold in the United States” which we can conclude that more and more people are starting to buy guns whether it’s for protection or simply the feeling of powerful in having a gun. In a world where a person have the rights to bear arms and gun violence are increasing, you start to question if a person should be allowed to carry a gun in the first place.

“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” (Bill of Rights). This is the 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution. This is a document that grants all Americans certain inalienable rights. All citizens no matter their age or standing in society have some understanding of the Bill of Rights and the freedoms that it allows. One freedom that is granted to us, the right to bear arms, has become the center of a heated issue in today’s society and many years before. The majority of citizens have felt the impacts of guns, either positive or negative, during some point of their life. It is because of the fact that guns are a part of
