Should The Second Amendment Be Changed

The second amendment was put in place to prevent a government that turns against the country and we have the right to fight back. A lot of people think that the second amendment needs to be altered but in the fine print it says "shall not be infringed". The first 10 amendments, otherwise known as the bill of rights, set the guidelines of our country. These first ten should never change and we should enforce them rather than complain about them.

To rectify this problem, the United States Government could set laws the lighten the rules on gun control but still having some restriction so unscrupulous criminals cannot purchase military grade firearms. Also there could be extensive background checks so people not fit for gun ownership will not have possession of firearms. In all, gun control is a serious problem to America and many innocent lives have been lost to being unarmed and

Gun control is a very controversial topic that has has a huge impact on the United States of America. One side believes that if guns were taken away as a whole, the country would see significantly less gun related crimes and death, while the other opposing side thinks that taking away guns is not only against the Second Amendment but would lead to an increase in crime and death because the government would take guns away from people who are legally registered to own and conceal guns. The ongoing debate will continue until the foreseeable future but their are plenty of reasons why more gun laws should be made. Taking away guns is not the answer, learning how to deal with gun violence is the key.

Imagine being able to get your hands on a gun in your community with ease when you were younger. Sounds cool right? Well, to some it might and that’s how young children are living in our communities now-a-days. Kids are able to get guns as long as they have parents with guns or the money to buy one. There aren’t enough restrictions on guns & who can get a hold of them on the streets and parents aren’t doing a well enough job of hiding their guns from their children. Something needs to be done. Too many children and young adults are being injured and murdered by something that is supposed to protect them. The ease in which youths are able to possess guns needs to be stopped. The harder it is for kids to get guns, the safer

My second amendment I want to consider changing is the 22th amendment the terms of the president. This amendment was created to limit the terms of the president. I believe it should be changed because if the president was really making the U.S better I would want him or her to continue doing a fantastic job. My reasoning is if American was in poor shape and a great president came along and fixed the country up and had us in the best shape of our history but then the president would have to leave after a second term and leave us with potentially detrimental change (Debate.com). Regardless of the rules if the president is performing his duties adequately and continues to improve our country he should be allowed to run if he is willing to do the

The US constitution is the blueprint of many other constitutions around the world. Our constitution is the cornerstone of many other countries bill of rights, even if they don’t follow it word for word the inspiration is clearly visible. The 2nd amendment “the right to bear arms” is something that isn’t seen in many other constitutions, and in the US there is major debate on it ranging from the interpretation, if guns should be banned, should anyone be allowed a weapon no questions asked, it goes on and on with no end in sight. I feel the 2nd amendment should be modified to include gun regulations, because other amendments were changed and updated for current times, regulations will prevent guns from ending up in hands of criminals, and regulations will not stop law abiding citizens from owning a weapon. Adding some extra words to the 2nd amendment will end debate over little things, and make all reasonable people happy.

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.

The Second Amendment was adopted in 1791 but over the years it is not suitable for the modern society. Big things have changed over the years since the Constitution was written, consequently, its contents do not reflect the necessary changes for the benefit of all citizens. Violence is out of control and many people are killed by guns each year. The second amendment needs to be changed because we need to ban guns and make our society safer.

Does the second amendment have a place in the year 2016? I personally don’t believe so. Before I go into great length, or become long winded, I will say that I am not for the second amendment. And with my upbringing, it would surprise a lot of people. I’m from the south. However, I am liberal, I come from a long line of conservative republicans and war veterans. Not to mention, my mother, by the age of 15, could take apart and put back together a machine gun. Guns as a hobby, I can respect, but it isn’t my cup of tea. Guns are dangerous, regardless if I am, or if the person holding one is. We owe it to ourselves, and to our fellow Americans to want to make the country we call home safer with every generation.

Although there are many people against the Second Amendment, one must understand that the constitution of the United States recognizes and safeguards rights that profoundly exist in the Bill of Rights. Does the second Amendment continued to be valid today? The answer is quite simple: yes, it does. Civilian or militia does no need to protect themselves from the government, since the government has strong armed forces to protect the state and the federal government. However, the right still remains valid and it is mostly used for protection of common criminals, since the police can take a long time to show up when needed; and it is also used for hunting and other recreational activities.

As mentioned, the Second Amendment includes more leeway to some than others. If it is said that there can be plenty of interpretation to the Second Amendment, then what do pro-gun control individuals believe? The Second Amendment vows to provide security to Americans. Although, pro-gun control individuals argue that the required security during the 18th century is not the same caliber of security we need today. During the time the Second Amendment was written, the country just finished fighting a war. With the power and abilities that our present day military has, it is argued that we do not necessarily need the protection of guns to the same extent (CNN). The Framers of the Second Amendment “offered some lofty generalities and then left the

In my own opinion, and I believe many will agree the 2nd Amendment is definitely not outdated. If anything it is very in date, because that is a right everyone have the opportunity to do. I believe we do need the freedom to own firearms in this country, because so much is going on. You never know when you may have to protect yourself. Although, believe everyone should have the proper training to even carry a weapon, and to sign a waiver that states, " That they will only use it for their protection, or when they are in harms way." Not to just show off or play with, because firearms are very serious. The only thing people seem to have with this law is criminals being able to get a firearms. Well at the end of the day they are humans too, and

Why the Second Amendment Should Be Kept Did you know that each year guns are used more than eighty times more often to protect a life than to take a life? (“Statistics about Firearms in the USA”) This is because the Second Amendment allows us to own and use firearms. If the Second Amendment would go away or a gun ban were to happen, we, the law abiding citizens, would be defenseless against those who don’t follow the laws. It is the same way with drugs; drugs are illegal, but criminals, not law abiding citizens, still have drugs.

While their are many great claims from both sides of the gun control controversies, it could all be solved if their were greater background checks, people could only have guns suited for purposes of hunting and personal protection, and if there was a regulation to the maximum number of guns that a person could own.

Our Second Amendment is near extinction because of a variety of different things.whether it be school shootings or just shootings in general. If you are a liberal you might be offended by this essay because i'm pro Second Amendment. There are many reasons for me to be pro Second Amendment.Like…
