Research Paper On Gun Ownership

     Gun control is a very controversial issue among society at present. Many feel guns are the cause of a great amount of crime. This has been an especially popular topic recently in lieu of the shooting at Columbine and other high schools across the country. Are these crimes reason to take away our freedom to bear arms? I do not believe so. The average person uses guns mainly as a means of protection. If limitations are placed on guns, they will only stop the average American from obtaining a gun. The real criminals out there will still be able to obtain guns through the black market. Every American should have the right to protect them self.

Gun control is a controversial issue for a long time around the world, particularly in U.S. because of a lots of mass shooting in school and public places. The second Amendment of the U.S. constitution is one of the shortest in all of the bill of right, it was written by the time period of American’s birth and it is the spirit of self-defense that help the new citizens of U.S. win their own freedom from the British. But now as the gun shooting problem happening every day in America, this gun control problem has gradually become to a hot issue. Compare to other countries like Britain, Canada, Japan, China, the difference between U.S. and those countries is in these countries to get a firearm is a very difficult thing

“The right to bear arms”, an amendment so prioritized by our founding fathers that it earned the very second spot on the list of birth rights as Americans. However, with constant tragedies striking the United States, such as massacres in public high schools and universities, mall shootings, and attempted assassinations on state representatives, it’s no wonder law makers are constantly debating the topic of gun control.

Allowing the government to have power over gun control is a careless mistake, we use guns for many things including the loss of tradition of hunting, not being able to protect ourselves, and simply because of the second amendment. Owning a gun is a privilege just as much as a right so people should definitely use it responsibly. If people can not use it right then they should not own one, but everyone should be allowed or given the

Gun control has been a long debate to determine if it’s better to have stricter access to firearms. America is one of the few countries that has gun rights embedded in their constitution. But what makes the US exceptional is that it has the right to keep and bear arms, other countries do not provide the right to have access to them, but rather, the government is allowed to regulate its use. The right to bear arms has also been the cause of growing violence and crime, at least according to anti-gun lobbyists. Citizens should be aware the dangers and harm that guns present to society. Controlling the sale of firearms can greatly decrease the number of violent crimes.

The gun law controversy has been a public debate for the past few decades. With the current state of the nation, it is not uncommon to see mass shooting occur in schools, churches, and in public. The most recent current events would illustrate the use of these weapons can cause massive death rates: the church in Texas being attacked by an individual with a domestic abuse history, the country concert event in Las Vegas, even the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting and the death of children who could not defend themselves. As onlookers watch these events unfold, ideas of creating more laws to regulate guns arise and a national push for legislation to act is engaged. Countering this movement are those who would oppose more laws as the fear that rights would be trampled, and personal safety removed. The answer to this heated debate of strict gun control laws is not to take them away; they are put into place with the intent to govern the safety of our society.

In 2012, a 20-year-old man wearing war fighting equipment and number of weapons to force his way into a school in Newtown, Connecticut, and killed 26 teachers/children. That occasion followed two other crowd murders in 2012, an attack on an Aurora, Colorado, Movie Theater in which a murderer murdered twelve and wounded fifty eight more people, and an attack on a Sikh temple in Milwaukee in which six believers were shot to death and three others hurt.

Every day in our country our citizens are faced with a huge epidemic of violence in their own streets, these streets have become a place where our elderly are beaten for their fixed income checks and their other sources of income, where smaller females are attacked and raped, where teen thugs shoot and kill each other for some “turf” to sell their illegal drugs, and finally where our small children are shot down in cold blood during drive by shootings. We try to ignore the fact that the criminals in our society and how they hurt it, but we shouldn’t. We should take the proper actions to stop these acts of crazy people in our society. And some brave enough people try, but the hard work of some misguided citizens attempt to stop the legal ownership

I think that you should be able to have guns in public because you have to be able to protect yourself from threats, if not you are unable to protect yourself or anyone very effectively. Also have you realized that before gun control there were not nearly as many problems and worries about school shootings bomb threats and all that stupid stuff. I don't believe that taking away guns and weapons from public areas shouldn’t be allowed and isn't it said that in the constitution that you have the right to bear arms so why can't you have them in public I just don't understand what they hope to accomplish. Constantly I can hear people complaining about how the government

Only a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun so imagine a whole nation without guns. It would be like walking to work scared that you were gonna see your middle school bully. When the west was first being settled everything was decided by a man and his six-shooter, that was a bit of a extreme and led to high body counts, but what makes you think that a extreme the other way would work? What this nation has right now is the perfected middle ground. We may have tragedies like school shooting now but think about the shooting that would happen is only criminals and police had guns. Think about how that would have worked out in Baltimore, or Charleston. Instead of a few victims we would have had thousands dead and martial law in some of our greatest cities. This nation revolves around guns, the fear of who has a gun is what keeps criminals at bay. Without guns we would be left to fight all out anarchy with bows and arrows. This nation would either turn into one thing or the other, a communist state where the civilians have little to no freedom, or a nation ruled by warlords like Somalia. Guns keep everyone in check, criminals can be stopped, and our government knows that they can not take away our freedom unless they take away our

Should there be any type of gun control in the U.S.? Seeing what has been happening around the country with the school shootings, there should be some type of control over weapons. A control that has safety into it so people won't be harmed or feel unsafe. A lot of people may disagree with me but it would help a lot with the school shootings and any other harmful or life taking events.

Gun control is a hot topic in America today. Should the government be able to control what guns you own. “ 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(2nd amendment).” December 14, 2012 an elementary school was included in an act of terrorism where a man went in to Sandy Hook elementary and killed 20 children between the ages of six and seven also killing six staff members. Las Vegas October 1, 2017 at a music festival killing 58 people and leaving 546 people injured. Gun control is controversial because these mass shootings happen and the government can’t regulate guns because that is a violation of the second amendment.

The issue of gun control has become a highly controversial topic in the recent years, and has introduced many opportunities for our country. Many people question if guns are helpful in the protection ourselves and other, or if the are just killing machines that are accessories to murder. Guns give aid in critical situations when help is too far away. Legalizing gun control would do more harm than good. Instead of placing restrictions on firearms, we should preserve the ability to defend and protect ourselves.

Guns are mistaken as evil weapons where actually, they can save lives. Gun ownership should not be tightly controlled. Guns can hurt people, but it’s not really the gun, it’s whoever pulls the trigger. The weapons cannot be personified as evil because guns can’t fire themselves. They can actually save people and their families if used for a good purpose. Guns are really tools that just need to be used correctly and by the right person. The gun’s purpose is controlled by the user, not itself.

Gun control in America has been a highly controversial subject for many years now. With the mass shootings taking place more and more lately, it has become an even more important topic. Many americans believe we should have gun control, while many others think that it will not help anything. I believe that we should have stricter gun control laws and should enforce them better because our founding fathers could not have foreseen these advancements in firearm technology. They did not know how much the guns would change and how dangerous they could become, especially if everyone is allowed to have one.
