Should Guns Be Illegal

Concealed carry is a constitutional right to citizens of the U.S. for the right to bear arms. People who support of concealed carry law say that criminals are less likely to attack someone they believe to be armed. It is set in stone that Americans have the right to bear arms. This should not be any different nowadays that violence and crime rates are going through the roof (Henigan).

Owning a gun is legal in the United States for self-defense or hunting or sports, and it’s the second amendment. However, in recent years, violence has significantly increased in the USA because of guns. There are more cases of children and young adults engaging in violence or getting caught in the crossfire. It is shameful to say that almost every day we hear about some gun violence. Guns can be used for self-defense or sports, however they also can be used for robbing, shooting and many other violent purposes. We can get safety and reduce crime rate by banning guns. These are the reasons why guns should be banned.

Gun ownership should be banned in order to reduce crime rates and ensure the protection of our nation’s people. Throughout the United States, gun control has become a controversial issue due to gun advocates strongly believing their 2nd Amendment rights guarantee them legal access to guns. Although gun advocates view gun ownership as self defense, the government and gun control supporters have noticed that legal distribution of guns has been linked to school shootings, homicide, and violent crimes. Furthermore, legal distribution of guns increases the risk of harming innocent people while declining the police’s power to establish safety in society. Overall, in order to prevent the destruction of our country, the people must work together to ban gun ownership and ratify the 2nd Amendment rights clarifying its purpose to the public.

Did you know you are 4 times more likely to be killed with a knife or other cutting instrument than you are by a rifle or a shotgun? Gun rights and gun control are always hot items during any political discussion, whether it is between peers or politicians. One of the many great advantages to being an American is the ability to choose for one's own self what to believe in. Another advantage, in my opinion, is the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Laws should not restrict gun rights because first, it would infringe the second amendment, second, guns are a part of our culture, and finally, if guns were outlawed, citizens of the U.S. would become vulnerable.

Owning a gun is legal in the USA. Actually, it’s the second amendment. The USA has the highest civilian gun ownership rate in the world. US civilians own about 270 million guns, compared to about 3 million guns owned by the military and less than 1 million guns owned by the police, also in the USA. In 2009, gun deaths actually outraced motor vehicle deaths in 10 US states. The 20% of gun owners possess 60% of all guns in the USA.

Everyone without a criminal record has the right to bear arms, as well as to carry concealed weapons. People should be able to bear arms anywhere, whether it is in an elementary school, a restaurant, or the mall. Since the beginning of 2015 there have been 294 mass shooting (4 or more are shot) and of that number 45 of them are mass murders (four or more are killed). Two

For this paper I will discuss Amendment II “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 are pros and cons to amendment II but it is a touchy subject especially with the current school massacres across the country. Such senseless deaths have lead many citizens to want more gun control which does not necessarily

A. This world is a considerably dangerous place. Self defense seems to be the only way we as people can survive situations that require skills and intelligence, concealed carry is one of the ways in which we can defend ourselves. It also has proven to be effective if the person posses the mental stability and a good moral compass as well as good marksmanship. B. To get a carry permit there is a minimum age of 21 and the person getting the person must have a clean background, the background check includes fingerprinting the person and law enforcement will conduct an official background check. Law enforcement will then send the person approval/denial in the mail with your license attached if the person is approved. The license will be good

Supporters of these stricter gun laws believe that deaths by guns, be it a homicide, suicide or even accidental, would drastically be reduced. According to Dustin Hawkins, “there are roughly 32,000 deaths per year in the United States caused by guns.” If more in depth background checks were implemented the homicide and suicide rate could lower. These background checks could predict if someone may become a violent offender or be on the verge of suicide. Also, fans of stricter gun laws feel that requiring owners of guns to attend classes and become more educated about gun safety could reduce accidental deaths. Gun death is a leading cause of death in America; but by introducing new laws, the United States can create a safer society.

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall no be infringed.” If you don’t know already, I chose to write about the 2nd Amendment, more specifically gun laws in the U.S. and the role they play in our political system and everyday lives. Gun laws and the interpretation of the 2nd amendment are constantly changing and so are our opinions but lately it seems that the outcome of some of these laws, or lack their of in some peoples eyes, has had a negative effect when we talk about guns and our views on them.

For the past few years, gun control has been an “important matter” in the United States. Every US citizen that is the appropriate age, has the “right to bear armaments”, according to the 2nd amendment. This Right is slowly being taken away from us by new laws and regulations. ““Gun control” is a wide-ranging term that covers any sort of restriction on what kinds of guns can be sold and bought, who can possess or sell them, and where and how they can be stored or carried. Sometimes, the term is also used to cover related matters, like restrictions on types of shells, bullets and magazine clips people are allowed to use”(Pérez-Peña 2015). According to Pérez-Peña, “In recent years, gun control debates have focused primarily on background checks for buyers, allowing individuals to carry weapons in public, and whether to allow the possession of assault rifles”(2015). Many politicians use the topic of gun control in their campaigns. “Laws on carrying weapons vary. Most states allow anyone who legally owns a gun to carry it openly, in public, without requiring a permit. A few states also have no permit requirement to carry a concealed gun. Concealed carry requires a permit in most states, but most of those states grant the licenses automatically to any legal gun owners who want them. States also vary in their rules on gun ownership in specific settings, like schools and churches”(Pérez-Peña 2015). In the state of Georgia, you must have an open carry license in order to carry in public. “For example, in Rhode Island, any individual with a concealed carry permit can bring a gun onto the grounds of a public school, but in Massachusetts, written approval from school administrators is required – and rarely given”(Pérez-Peña 2015).

The topic on why guns should be legal in chicago is very controversial. What ever side you pick there will be negatives and positives, but the side that the city takes has too many negatives causing deaths and the purchase of unregistered weapons. Others may say that by more people carrying guns it is more likely that they would use them incorrectly; But with the solution posed more citizens would have a gun with a license and safety classes. They would need to take these classes before making their purchased. The Increase of gun laws in chicago cause the violence and deaths in the city. The decrease of strictness would greatly impact the community providing more guns with easy and affordable access to a license for better protection. Guns can be used by people with a license for self defense, gangs provoke the violence, criminals nowadays target areas with less weapons, less laws result in less crime and guns are brought from out of state.

It's always been wondered if guns should be allowed in the United States. Of course there’s people who are for gun control and against it, each for their own reasons.

In the United States, guns are available to everyone. The United States has 88.8 guns per 100 people, or about 270,000,000 guns, which is the highest total and per capita number in the world. In many countries guns are forbidden. But why guns are allow in the United States? On the one hand, America's pervasive gun culture stems in part from its colonial history. Guns were common in the American Colonies. First people use guns for hunting and general self-protection and later as weapons in the American Revolutionary War (1). The gun problems left over by history, people have the right have owns gun. On the other hand, there are some law’s provisions can have a gun. Such as, the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to own guns. They argue that gun ownership deters crime rather than causes more crime. On the contrary, guns cause more crime on campus and streets in today's society. There have been a whole slew of shooting incidents. Many people in the United States die in gunfire. This is quite shocking! But still have many people support the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Federal and State gun laws are development. President Obama announced new executive actions on gun control On Jan. 5, 2016 (2). His measures take effect immediately. The measures are including an update and expansion of background checks; increased mental health care funding and so on (2). Would this stop someone from committing a shooting incident? A 2012 Congressional Research Service report estimated that in 2009 there were 310 million firearms in the United States: 114 million handguns, 110 million rifles, and 86 million shotguns in United States (3). Gun is designed for one purpose it's basically to kill people or animal. So there are some things to be killed if the gun is
